Rivington Linen Checkered Gingham Placemats
Description
Description
A classic gingham check brings farmhouse warmth to any table setting. These placemats layer soft texture and traditional pattern into casual meals and weekend gatherings, with a palette that spans warm reds, muted blues, golden ochres, and soft neutrals. Gingham is one of the few patterns that reads as both nostalgic and current, which is why it survives on a table far longer than a trend print.
The linen blend has enough body to lie flat under a plate rather than sliding or rucking, and it softens with each wash without losing the crispness of the check. Woven rather than printed, the pattern will not fade or crack at the folds. Five colorways across three sizes let you match a kitchen palette precisely or build a mixed set that still reads as intentional.
From Oak Mercer, these placemats work for everyday meals, picnics, holiday tables, and outdoor dining, and they pair naturally with woven runners, enamelware, and stoneware. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors, tumble dry low or line dry, and press on a medium iron while slightly damp if you want a sharper finish. Wash separately for the first cycle to set the color.

Frequently Asked Questions
What colors does the check come in?
What colors does the check come in?
The range covers warm reds, muted blues, golden ochres and soft neutrals. Mixing two colorways across one table is a farmhouse look that works especially well.
What is the fabric?
What is the fabric?
A linen blend, which gives you the matte texture of linen with extra durability for a mat that sees daily meals. It lies flat rather than curling at the corners.
How do I wash them?
How do I wash them?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and tumble dry low. A quick press while they are slightly damp brings the check back to a crisp grid if you like a sharper table.
Will the check clash with patterned plates?
Will the check clash with patterned plates?
Gingham is a small even grid, so it sits happily under solid dinnerware and reads as texture beneath a simple pattern. Under a busy plate, a soft neutral colorway keeps the setting calm.
Are they big enough for a full setting?
Are they big enough for a full setting?
Each mat holds a dinner plate, cutlery on both sides and a glass at the corner, which covers a standard everyday setting. On a smaller table they overlap slightly, and that layered look is part of the charm.
