    Frequently Asked Questions

    What are table linens and what do they include?

     Table linens are items used as part of a table setting, including tablecloths, runners, placemats and napkins, available in different colours, patterns and styles for both everyday and special occasions. At Eleish Van Breems Home, we carry a range of table linens suited to different settings, including more considered options in our luxury table linens collection.

    How do I choose table linens for my table?

     When choosing table linens, consider the size of your table, your entertaining style and how the linens will work with your existing tableware. Our team recommends starting with a tablecloth or runner as a foundation, then adding napkins and placemats to build a cohesive setting. Our tablecloths, placemats and runners collection offers a range of styles to compare.

    How do I set table linens for a place setting?

     Start with a tablecloth, runner or placemat, then arrange the napkin alongside or on the place setting according to your preferred style. Our team often coordinates colours and patterns across different linen pieces to create a cohesive table — adding placemats can introduce another layer of colour and definition to each individual setting.

    How should I care for and store table linens?

    Care requirements for table linens can vary depending on the specific piece, so follow any care guidance provided with the individual item. When storing, keep pieces clean and dry and fold or arrange them in a way that suits the available space. For pieces with more considered finishes, our luxury table linens collection includes individually listed items with their own care details.
