    Frequently Asked Questions

    When are paper napkins the right choice?

    Paper napkins are the right choice for casual meals, parties and children's tables, where quick, disposable and no laundry win out over cloth; the washable kind sit under napkins & napkin rings. Decorative paper napkins are part of our range at Eleish Van Breems Home for easy entertaining.

    Which paper napkin size suits lunch versus dinner?

    For size, paper napkins run smaller for cocktails and lighter lunches and larger for a full dinner plate; matching rings sit under napkin rings. Keep a couple of sizes in the drawer so the napkin always fits the occasion rather than the other way round.

    How do paper napkins finish a casual table?

    Paper napkins finish a casual table folded simply under the fork or fanned in a holder, a printed one adding a note of colour to an easy setting, near the tea towels, aprons & mitts. Choose one pattern that suits the table and keep the rest of the setting plain.

    When are decorative paper napkins handy to have?

    Decorative paper napkins are handy to have for spur-of-the-moment guests, a cheese board or a children's party, where they cut the washing-up and add a little colour; light a candle from the matches alongside. Keep a printed pack in the drawer for the occasions that call for no fuss.
