5 Tips for Choosing the Right Kitchen Table Coasters

Want to protect your dining table while enhancing its attractiveness? Stylish kitchen table coasters can do just that.

Did you know? Using coasters on a regular basis can extend the life of your table. Coasters will protect surfaces from watermarks, scratches, and heat damage. So, if you haven't been using table coasters, now is the right time to start.

If you're looking to style a coaster for a dining table or simply want functional coasters for family meals, you've come to the right place. We will give you five essential tips for selecting the appropriate coasters for your tables. So, stay tuned!

Why Choosing the Right Coasters Matters

Your table is an investment. Whether it is a coaster kitchen table or a lovely surface made of oak wood, you want to protect it. Coasters can provide protection for your tables, but they do more than that. They: 

  • Add style to your dining table.
  • Show your taste and personality.
  • Have practical uses in your daily life.
  • They are effective with any shape or material of your table. 

How to Pick the Right Table Coasters for the Kitchen

1. Match the Material with Your Dining Table Style

Each table needs the right companion. Coaster material should go well with the surface type.

Best materials for coasters:

Material

Best For

Benefits

Cork

Rustic/cosy dining tables

Lightweight, non-slip

Marble

Modern glass or stone tables

Elegant, heat-resistant

Wood

Vintage or farmhouse setups

Natural texture, solid feel

Resin/Glass

Chic and bold table settings

Stylish, easy to clean

Example: If you have a coaster dining table in natural wood, pair it with carved wooden coasters for a rustic look.

2. Size and Shape Matter

Your dining table coasters should work for all glass sizes. Small coasters are annoying and prone to spills.

  • Standard size for coasters: around 10cm in diameter. 
  • Go for square or round coasters based on the shape of your table.
  • Avoid heavy or oversized pieces as they will look bulky.

Tip: Round coasters soften the look of a sharply edged table, while square coasters offer a modern, sleek look on oval or round tables.

3. Don’t Ignore the Grip 

Wobbly coasters do not provide any help. Find non-slip, rubber-backed coasters. They will support both:

  • Your furniture, so it does not get scratched at all.
  • Your glasses, so they do not tip at all. 

If you are shopping online, always check reviews for grip. Our coasters are specifically designed with an anti-slip base. They really allow for the best in any coaster kitchen table setup.

4. Design and Colour

Want your dining room to pop? Pick coasters that match the colour scheme of your room.

Some examples:

  • Marble effect for a luxury feel.
  • Natural wood for an earthy feel.
  • Bright colours for contemporary kitchens.

Products like Set of 4 Botanical Mandala Coasters and Kielder Dark Floral Coasters add a unique touch. They are both functional and decorative.

5. Easy to Clean

Dirty coasters are the worst. They spoil the whole decor of your dining table and look very unattractive.

Go for something that is:

  • Wipe-clean
  • Stain-resistant
  • Durable for everyday use.

If you entertain people a lot, avoid felt or fabric coasters. These types of coasters are stain-prone and require more maintenance. 

Good Choices:

  • Marble
  • Resin
  • Glazed ceramic
  • Glass

We make durable, good-looking products like these Taormina Floral Tile Coasters and Set of 4 Vintage Tile Coasters, which are great choices because they are also easily wipe-clean.

Bonus Tip: Mix and Match for a Trendy Look

Why pick just one style? Build your own set in different colours or shapes. This will flare up your coasters on the dining table, giving them some personality without making things messy. You could even give each family member or guest a different design as a set. This could be fun and personal, too.
