Your tabletop will have that quirky punch to it.
If we don’t use a coaster, then what?
Get ready for your glasses or cups to stain, discolour, leave scratches or dent your valuable furniture! The coaster acts as a strong shield between your favourite furniture and the condensed water underneath your glass. So, when are your gonna get a set?
Repeat after us:
Zarurat hai, zarurat hain, zarurat hai.
Tea table ko, workstation ko

Everyday-Use Coasters
Sunboard Coasters with Matte Lamination:
Easy to maintain and easier to clean these lightweight coasters are portable and perfect for indoor and Outdoors. Use them in your messed up kitchens, overloaded workspace or outdoor brunches. Don’t be surprised to hear people saying, “daag acche hain.” Because your coasters will be cleaned of tea, coffee or other stains in a jiffy. Clean ho jaye, chutki mey!
Durable bhi hai aur quirky bhi, so look out for coasters with nice graffiti, fun quotes or eye-popping colours!
Plus, these are super affordable among the entire lot, so don’t worry k zyada mehenga parega!
Wooden Finish Coasters:
Raw wood finish coasters are bad conductors of heat, so they are great to keep your chai garam and juice thanda! The bonus is that they are also economical, besides being natural products.
If you don’t like your wooden coaster to be generated from a cut tree, then do go for recycled wooden ones.
Ped bachaye, prakriti k liye pyar jataye.
Cork Coasters:
Cork is a natural, lightweight product that is obtained from the bark of oak trees. Ok ji? It’s so light that it doesn’t sink in water easily and does not get affected by water either. Paani se immune hai, naturally!
In short, cork Coasters provide your spaces with elegance, that too at affordable rates! Saach mein accha hai na?
Luxury Coasters
Ceramic Coasters:
Ceramic or bone China is made by hardening clay at very high temperature. Hot clay can be moulded into a variety of shapes like pots, pans and even coasters! Available in multiple shapes and sizes, these are ideal for traditionally decorated interiors.
Terracotta Coasters:
Terracotta is burnt clay that attains a reddish-brown colour. Indians are used to having their tea in tinny ‘kulhad' or Bengal’s ‘Bhnaar’ which are terracotta cups. In Bengal, sweetened curd aka Mishti doi and rosogolla are served in earthen pots to retain their authentic flavour.
Terracotta is a good medium to store hot and cool liquids at your convenience. If you have done your Indoor décor in a minimalistic style, terracotta coasters go very well.
Now don’t say, ‘Bhnaar mey jaa’ and forget us!
Glass Coasters:
Yeh toh fancy bhi hai aur mehenga bhi. So we suggest you use it sparingly.
Nehi toh agar yeh toota, toh dil bhi toota! For ultra-glam interiors, glass coasters can be used on occasions.
There are other categories of coasters like bamboo, foam, leather, plastic etc.
Do share with us your coaster style. We can’t wait to hear it! Jaldi karo, yaar.
