Coasters – protection and style for your table

A coaster is a practical item that protects your tables from heat, moisture, and scratches caused by pots, pans, or glasses. At Dims Studio, you’ll find coasters where function meets design, with a carefully curated selection focusing on both aesthetics and quality. It’s all about bringing personality and color into everyday life while keeping your furniture looking great for years to come.

Materials and types of coasters

Coasters come in many different materials, each with its own advantages. At Dims Studio, you’ll find among others:

  • Ceramic: Retains heat well and withstands high temperatures. Patterned or glazed ceramic offers a decorative touch.
  • Stoneware: Durable and heavy, often with hand-painted details. Perfect for both hot dishes and cold drinks.
  • Metal: Some coasters are made of enameled metal with colorful motifs, combining durability with easy cleaning.
  • Silicone: Flexible and non-slip material that protects against both heat and moisture.
  • Wood: Classic and natural look. Wooden coasters suit both modern and traditional homes.

Sizes and dimensions

Coasters come in various sizes so you can find one that fits both small cups and large serving trays. The most common dimensions are:

  • Round: Diameter of 10–20 cm – ideal for glasses, mugs, and smaller bowls.
  • Square: 15 x 15 cm or 20 x 20 cm – suitable for pots and trays.
  • Spacing between grooves or cutouts varies, allowing you to choose based on how much ventilation you want under hot items.

Many coasters can also be stacked if you need extra protection or want a bolder look on the table.

Curated brands at Dims Studio

Dims Studio gathers coasters from selected design brands where quality and character are key. You’ll find among others:

  • &Klevering: Dutch design with colorful glazes and eye-catching shapes. &Klevering is known for playing with classic motifs and giving them a modern twist.
  • Bongusta: Coasters in bold colors and graphic patterns, often in soft cotton or handwoven textiles.
  • Bloomingville: Danish design featuring natural materials and muted colors.

Each coaster in the selection is chosen for its ability to both protect and add something extra to the table setting. Dinna only selects brands that meet Dims Studio’s standards for durability and aesthetics.

Use and styling of coasters

  • Place coasters under hot pots, trays, and teapots to avoid marks on the table.
  • Use them under vases or plants to protect against moisture and stains.
  • Mix different coasters across shapes and colors for a playful look.
  • Let coasters stay visible as part of your table decor – especially if they have graphic or colorful designs.
  • Coasters also work great as small serving trays for snacks or as bases for candle holders.

Interior styles and coasters

Coasters can fit many home styles:

  • Nordic: Choose wooden or stoneware coasters with simple shapes and neutral colors.
  • Retro: Go for colorful or patterned coasters from &Klevering or Bongusta.
  • Bohemian: Textile coasters with fringes or handmade details suit the relaxed style.
  • Minimalist: Solid-colored or transparent coasters in glass or silicone emphasize a clean look.

You can easily change the vibe of your dining table by switching coasters according to season or mood.
