How to Style Royal Blue Placemats: 7 Elegant Dining Table Ideas

A beautifully styled dining table can completely change the atmosphere of a room, and Royal Blue placemats are an easy way to introduce rich colour while keeping the overall look elegant.

Whether you are styling an everyday family table, preparing for guests or creating a special-occasion tablescape, Royal Blue works beautifully with natural wood, cream ceramics, metallic cutlery and neutral tableware.

Why Choose Royal Blue for Your Dining Table?

Royal Blue is a deep, confident colour that can make a dining table feel instantly more considered. Unlike brighter blues, it has enough depth to work with both traditional and contemporary interiors.

• Natural and dark wood dining tables
• Cream and white crockery
• Gold, brass or silver cutlery
• Grey and neutral table linens
• Clear glassware
• Green foliage and floral centrepieces

1. Pair Royal Blue With Natural Wood

One of the easiest ways to style Royal Blue placemats is against a natural wood dining table. The warmth of the wood softens the rich blue shade, creating a balanced and welcoming table setting. Add simple cream plates and neutral napkins to let the placemats become the main colour statement.

2. Add Gold or Brass Cutlery

Royal Blue and gold create a particularly elegant combination. Gold or brass-toned cutlery can bring warmth to the deep blue colour while creating a more luxurious dinner-party feel.

The Lara-May Royal Blue placemat and coaster set works especially well with this type of styling thanks to its rich blue finish and clean, understated shape.

3. Create a Calm Blue and Cream Tablescape

For a softer dining scheme, combine Royal Blue with cream, beige or off-white accessories.

• Cream ceramic plates
• Natural linen napkins
• Clear glass tumblers
• White or cream candles
• Soft neutral dining chairs

4. Use Matching Coasters for a Coordinated Finish

Matching Royal Blue coasters help create a consistent look across the whole table, particularly when every place setting has the same combination of placemat, plate and drinkware.

The Lara-May set includes 8 placemats and 8 matching coasters, making it suitable for a larger family table or dinner-party setting.

5. Add Greenery for a Natural Contrast

Green foliage works particularly well with deep blue. A simple centrepiece using olive branches, eucalyptus-style foliage or fresh flowers can soften the table and add another natural element.

6. Style Royal Blue for Special Occasions

• Christmas dinners
• Birthday celebrations
• Anniversary meals
• Housewarming dinners
• Family gatherings
• Dinner parties

Because the shade is sophisticated rather than seasonal, the same placemats can be reused throughout the year with different crockery and decorative accessories.

7. Keep Everyday Dining Practical

The Royal Blue recycled leather placemats and coasters are made using 76% recycled leather and are designed with a wipe-clean surface.

They are also heat resistant up to 90°C, helping protect dining tables and other delicate surfaces during everyday meals.
