Product Insights
The Simons Maison Round Crocheted Placemat offers an oversized 15-inch diameter with a proprietary openwork pattern that creates a boho, 'found heirloom' aesthetic and catches candlelight. Made from 100% polyester, it is wipe-clean, mildew-resistant, and suitable for indoor/outdoor use, but liquid seeps through the openwork and polyester can melt under very hot cookware, requiring trivets and gentle handling. This exclusive design balances striking visual impact with practical care compromises.

Deep Research
Styling a bohemian table with a crochet placemat
- At 38 cm in diameter, this placemat is sized to serve as the visible under-layer in a boho plate stack — the edges extend beyond a standard 25 cm dinner plate, creating a decorative frame. When placed atop a larger square charger (common in rattan or seagrass), the contrast between round and angular shapes introduces the effortless eclecticism that defines bohemian tablescapes.
- The green colorway directly taps the earthy, nature-inspired side of boho palettes — pairing it with terracotta dinnerware and warm wood tables evokes the Mediterranean-meets-Moroccan aesthetic that has been integral to bohemian decor since the 1970s counterculture movement. This single-placemat anchor lets a table read as intentionally styled without requiring a full dishware overhaul.
- Unlike authentic cotton crochet, which can fade and mildew with outdoor use, this placemat's 100% polyester construction means it can move between an indoor dining room and an outdoor boho patio table without care concerns beyond a wipe-down. This expands the styling canvas to include al fresco settings with potted herbs, mismatched vintage chairs, and string lights — a classic boho entertaining scenario.
- The openwork gaps in the crochet pattern allow light from candles or brass flatware to peek through, adding subtle shimmer to a boho table — a styling trick that works especially well with copper mugs or gold-rimmed glassware, which reflect warm tones through the weave. This interplay softens the placemat's textile solidity and enhances the relaxed, magical atmosphere characteristic of boho dinner parties.
- The crochet-style openwork pattern mirrors the knotted textures of macramé, a defining textile art of the boho fiber-art revival. In a tablescape, this visual link encourages layering with other woven or knotted elements — linen napkins with fringed edges, a macramé table runner, or rattan napkin rings — to build a cohesive, handcrafted narrative across the table.
- Designer Justina Blakeney, whose Jungalow aesthetic helped define modern bohemian home style, champions tables that combine new, vintage, and handmade pieces. This placemat, with its crochet motif reminiscent of a grandmother's handiwork, acts as the 'found' heirloom that grounds a mix of contemporary stoneware, mismatched vintage glassware, and hand-thrown pottery — making the table feel collected over time rather than off the shelf.
The handfeel and texture of polyester crochet
- Under the hand, polyester yarns deliver a noticeably slicker, lower-friction surface than spun cotton, allowing plates and glassware to glide without catching and preventing crumbs from clinging to the fibers.
- The inherent rigidity of polyester fiber holds the openwork pattern flat and precise, resisting collapse under plate weight and springing back after folding, so the placemat feels consistently structured and dimensional over many uses.
- Polyester's moisture regain of less than 1% — barely a tenth of cotton's — means the placemat yarns repel liquid, so even after a spill passes through the gaps, the fibers stay dry and never turn that cold, soggy feeling typical of absorbent textiles.
How it compares to similar crochet placemats
- The 15-inch (38 cm) diameter is a deliberate oversize compared to the 12-14 inch round industry standard, ensuring the placemat remains visible around plates up to 11 inches and creating a more dramatic, tablecloth-like frame for dinnerware.
- Stamped as a Simons Maison exclusive designed in Canada, the specific openwork crochet pattern is proprietary to the brand and unavailable through generic wholesale channels, giving it a curated, boutique feel that differentiates it from common imported placemats.
- Polyester's hydrophobic quality means food and drink droplets that land on the yarns won't penetrate or leave permanent stains — a key advantage over absorbent cotton crochet, where even a small drip can leave a mark.

Q&A
4 answered- What is the recommended temperature limit for hot dishes placed directly on this polyester placemat?
- The manufacturer does not specify a temperature limit for this placemat, and as a general precaution for polyester, we recommend using a trivet or hot pad under very hot cookware to avoid any risk of melting or damage.
- Does the openwork crochet design allow liquid spills to soak through to the table surface?
- Yes, the openwork crochet design has gaps that would allow liquid spills to pass through to the table surface. This placemat is meant for decorative and mild protection, not as a waterproof barrier.
- Can this placemat be machine washed or is wiping with a damp cloth the only care method?
- According to the product details, the recommended care is simply to wipe with a damp cloth as needed. We do not recommend machine washing, as it may damage the openwork structure or cause the polyester to lose its shape.
- Is the crochet pattern stitched in a way that prevents snagging or unraveling with regular use?
- The product details do not address snagging or unraveling. The openwork crochet design is stitched, but as with any such pattern, it may be susceptible to snagging if caught on sharp objects. Gentle handling is advised to maintain its appearance.
