Changing up layouts every now and then is every foodstagrammer’s dilemma. If your want to level up your food flatlays, you might want to consider getting stylish placemats instead like these ones from The Planting Princess.
In particular, the shop’s embroidered native placemats only have a limited number of pieces in stock per design. This ensures that your tablescape will stand out for its uniqueness.
