Preparation
A sleek coaster can instantly elevate your table settings while protecting your furniture from unsightly stains. “Coasters can serve as mini works of art that drive the color palette and mood for a tablescape,” says interior designer Laurie Blumenfeld-Russo of Laurie Blumenfeld Design. “Think of them like a pair of earrings: They’re an accessory that can blend into an already defined tablescape design or be the superstar that sets the tone for everything that surrounds it.”
Along with upgrading your tablescape, a good-looking set can serve as a reminder to relax while you entertain. “A table with coasters on it is an inviting one,” says Anna Rabinowicz, founder of ANNA New York. “It signals hospitality to your guests, and reminds you to take a break and enjoy a drink of your favorite beverage.” Searching for some pretty options to liven up a coffee or side table? From hand-painted styles to landscape-inspired ones and more, here are 11 sophisticated coasters to dress up your tabletops.
