Felt placemats –

 

feel great and are oftentimes available in natural grey but also in several other colors, as this one here in turquoise. BUT after the first meal you will have stains and felt placemats are simply not washable, because felt will lose its shape if it gets soaking wet. And honestly, do you want to bring your placemats to the dry cleaner ever week? What a waste of time.
