The idea behind drink coasters is that you want to protect your possessions from the damage that is associated with scratches, spills, and drips. The coaster itself acts as a barrier, standing between the offending piece; usually a glass of liquid, and the smooth perfection of the table surface.

The problem that arises is that coasters are so small and innocuous that people are constantly forgetting that they even exist. Even you, living in your own home, may not remember to slip a coaster from the case every single time you pour yourself a glass of juice.

The way to solve this is with drink coaster décor. You can use creative arrangements to make certain features “pop” out at your guests. They don’t have to be the centerpiece of the room; they should just be present, making their existence more obvious for both you, and your guests.

You don't always want to have coasters all over your home, but when your having guests over it can be a good idea to leave them out. Coffee tables and other vulnerable surfaces are the obvious place to leave them. Rather than having the coasters stacked up formally in a holder set, leave them out, like tiny placemats, just waiting to receive a glass. Your best bet is to choose coasters which directly match the surface of the table they will be used in, in order to compound their functional ability by making them decorative accents.

If you prefer to leave your coasters stacked or in a holder, then you should simply make certain that the holder is present in the space where the coasters will be necessary. This will usually be in the living room, but can include any environment that you want to protect from water damages.

When you have guests over, getting them to use a coaster can be a bit of a chore. You should try to lead by example, showing others that your using a coaster, rather than forcing their use on anyone. This should be enough to get the message across to everyone. If you have to be explicit with anybody, then you should do it in the most subtle and private way possible, seeking to inform them rather than embarrassing them.
