Know Your Place(mat)

If you were to ask me the ONE styling trick I use in (almost) every space, it would be using place mats as a layering piece. Whether it’s on an end table, side table, night stand, or ottoman…I’m gonna put a place mat there.
I do this for a few reasons:
+ It adds a P O P of color.
+ It corrals items on a table the same way a tray would—but it’s flatter, cheaper, more versatile.
+ It can beef-up a piece that’s a little wimpy—like a too-small tray or even a plant.
+ T E X T U R E !!
My go-to hot-spots for place mats are Target + World Market—they basically never disappoint. So, the next time your room needs a little extra something, consider your table tops…I’ll bet a little layering with a place mat would do just the trick.
