A table without coasters is a disaster waiting to happen. One sweating glass is all it takes to ruin a good wood finish, and suddenly your beautifully styled coffee table has a permanent reminder of last Saturday's dinner party. Protection should never come at the cost of personality, and that's exactly the thinking behind every coaster set Katie Kime creates.
Founded in Austin, Texas in 2013, Katie Kime has spent over a decade turning everyday objects into design statements. From wallpaper to sleepwear, every piece carries an original print rooted in travel, artistry, and a genuine love for color. Our coaster sets are no exception, and neither is the standard of craft we bring to every single one.
Let’s spotlight what makes a coaster set worth keeping on your table, how our prints bring character to functional pieces, and why these make one of the most thoughtful gifts you can give to someone.
Cute Coasters That Actually Belong In Your Décor
Most coasters end up hidden in a drawer the moment company leaves. They do their job, sure, but nothing about them earns a permanent spot on the table. Our cute coasters are designed with the opposite philosophy in mind. Every set leads with print first, so what you're protecting your surfaces with is also something you genuinely want people to see.
The prints pull from the same world that runs through the rest of the Katie Kime collection: toile patterns inspired by real cities, illustrated scenes from the founder's travels, and color palettes that feel considered rather than accidental. There is a set that fits naturally into your space without forcing anything, regardless of how your home is styled.
Designed to sit out, get noticed, and hold their own alongside the rest of your carefully chosen home details, every set earns its place at the table.
Printed Coasters Designed To Tell A Story
Every print in the Katie Kime collection comes from somewhere real. Travels logged, cities explored, and details noticed along the way find their way into the artwork on each piece. Here is a closer look at what makes these printed coasters worth talking about.
The Art Of The Toile
Katie Kime's toile prints are anything but traditional. Each one maps out a specific city through illustrated vignettes, capturing landmarks, local flavor, and the kind of details only a well-traveled eye would notice. The result is a coaster that feels more like a love letter to a place than a functional household item, the kind of piece that sparks a conversation the moment a guest sets down their glass.
Prints Rooted In Real Adventures
The stories behind the prints are just as layered as the prints themselves. Katie Kime's travels serve as the primary sketchbook, with each design carrying the energy of a specific moment or destination. That sense of origin gives every coaster set a depth that purely decorative objects rarely carry, and that difference is something you feel the moment you hold one.
Color As A Design Decision
Color at Katie Kime is never arbitrary. Each palette is chosen to feel vibrant without overwhelming, playful without being juvenile. The coasters carry that same spirit, making them easy to style into an existing space while still adding something unexpected to the table, a pop of color that earns its place rather than demanding attention.
Decorative Coasters For Every Room (And Every Occasion)
A good coaster set travels well through the home. From the living room coffee table to the bar cart to the guest bedroom nightstand, the right print makes it feel personal wherever it lands. Here is how Katie Kime decorative coasters fit naturally into different spaces and moments:
For The Living Room
The living room is where coasters see the most action and the most eyes. A Katie Kime set holds its own among styled bookshelves, curated coffee tables, and the kind of spaces that get photographed. The prints are bold enough to add character without competing with everything else already in the room, so the table looks like you, not like an afterthought.
For The Entertainer
Hosting is where these coasters really shine. Laid out across a drinks table or tucked beside a charcuterie spread, they add a layer of personality to the whole setup. Guests notice them, ask about them, and more often than not, leave wanting a set of their own.
For The Home That Has A Point Of View
Some homes are styled with real care, and every object in them is chosen rather than defaulted to. A Katie Kime coaster set fits that kind of home naturally. The prints are specific enough to feel personal and considered enough to sit comfortably alongside pieces chosen with just as much care, whether that's a statement art print or a set of lucite trays from the same collection.
Bar Coasters Built To Last And Made To Be Noticed
A bar setup deserves more than a generic coaster tossed in as an afterthought. The drinks are considered, the glassware chosen with care, and the surface they rest on should carry that same energy. Here is what sets our bar coasters apart from everything else on the market:
Constructed For Daily Use
Our coasters are made to handle real life. Condensation, daily drinks, and regular handling are no match for the quality built into each set. These are pieces designed to stay on the table long after lesser coasters have been retired to the back of a cabinet.
A Print That Holds Up Over Time
The artwork on each coaster is as durable as it is detailed. Colors stay true, edges stay clean, and the print remains as striking after months of use as it was on day one. That staying power is a direct reflection of Katie Kime's commitment to craft and quality construction.
Style That Earns Its Place At The Bar
Our coasters sit naturally alongside bar accessories like an ice bucket with lid from the same collection, pulling the whole setup together the way a great print ties a room. Together, they turn a drinks spread into something storied rather than simply stocked.
