Tablecloth – How To Choose A Table Cloth Size?

Tablecloth makes your table look more beautiful if you get the perfect size. Getting correct size for table cover is very important. Just imagine your little daughter in your clothes or imagine yourself in your daughter's dress; isn't it weird? In the same way too large or too short size of table linen makes your table look odd. It doesn't matter whether your tabletop cover is expensive or cheap; if it is correct in size it would add grace to your table and entire room. Therefore, you have to follow a few points before getting a table cover.

First thing you need to do is to determine the type of your table; there are different types of tables like round, square, oval and rectangular. This would help you to select correct size for your table. Another important thing is measurement. Take the measurements from all sides correctly and note down in a paper. Note down the measurements in inches and centimeters both because some companies display one measurement on the packing so it would be easier for you to select the size.

If you have round tabletop then you should measure the diameter of the table and select 8 to 10 inches wider cover. If you want the tablecloth to touch the ground then you need to measure the height of the table, multiple the heights by two and add to the diameter length.

It is a common rule that the tablecloth should be about half a meter longer and wider than the table so it would hang over your table with free folds. So make sure that your cover is that much longer than your table size. If you were looking for a formal covering then the size would be different because in formal setting you require long size fabric touching the floor in such case measure the height of the table from the floor.

If you have very expensive and classy furniture and you do not want to hide the surface of your table then sleek table runner in the center of the table would be perfect. Place an attractive table runner in the center and put matching napkins on its sides. The ends of the runner should be hanging on the sides of the table for formal setting and if you want a casual look than make it to the table length.
Some fabrics shrink after wash so allow 2 to 3'' shrinkage.
