When customers visit Frank here on Park Ave, they often come in thinking of Chilewich as "those amazing placemats." Still, we love opening their eyes to the creative possibilities that go far beyond the dining table.
Placemats Beyond the Dining Table
Sure, these placemats are extraordinary for traditional table settings, but we've found that some of the most inspired uses happen when we start thinking outside the box. We've helped customers use Chilewich placemats as drawer liners in kitchen islands, as protective surfaces for home office desks, and even as bases for serving trays during outdoor entertaining. The Mini Basketweave placemats are beautiful under ceramic plates for special occasions, while the bolder patterns can define place settings even without traditional dinnerware.
Rugs That Work Indoors and Out
What really excites us about Chilewich rugs is how seamlessly they work indoors and out, which is perfect for our Florida lifestyle. I can't count how many customers have discovered the joy of rugs that transition effortlessly from their breakfast nook to their screened porch, or from their changing room to their pool deck. These pieces don't fade in the sun, won't be damaged by moisture, and actually look better with the natural wear that comes from real use. I've seen customers create stunning outdoor dining areas using Chilewich rugs as a foundation, knowing they can leave them out through our unpredictable weather patterns without worry.
Seasonal Swaps and Updates
One of our favorite aspects of Chilewich textiles is how perfect they are for seasonal swaps and updates. Unlike traditional rugs and table linens that require careful storage and professional cleaning, these pieces make it easy to refresh your look throughout the year. Here at Frank, we encourage customers to think of their Chilewich pieces as interchangeable design elements. Summer entertaining calls for the fresh blues and whites, while fall might bring out the richer browns and darker reds. The beauty is that switching out a few key pieces can completely transform the feeling of your space without the commitment or expense of a major redecoration. And because they're so easy to clean and store, customers often build collections over time, creating their own seasonal rotation that keeps their homes feeling fresh and intentional year-round. It's this flexibility that makes Chilewich not just a purchase, but an investment in your home's style.
