To size tablecloths, add about twenty to thirty centimetres of overhang on each side of the table top, so the cloth drops towards the lap without pooling on the floor; a runner and placemats cover a lighter setting. At Eleish Van Breems Home we keep tablecloths for everyday and occasions.
How do I choose tablecloth fabrics for everyday dinners?
For everyday dinners, choose tablecloth fabrics in cotton or a cotton-linen blend that wash easily and take a warm iron, keeping pure linen and fine weaves for occasions; the fuller range is under tablecloths, placemats & runners. A mid-tone or pattern hides the odd mark between washes.
Are tablecloths in style again?
Tablecloths are again a natural choice for a dressed table, layered under a runner and napkins or left plain for a simpler look, with the finer pieces under luxury table linens. Keep the colour quiet so the food, the flowers and the glasses lead the setting rather than the cloth.
How do I store tablecloths without wrinkles?
Store tablecloths without creasing by pressing them, then rolling rather than tightly folding, or hanging the larger ones over a padded rail, kept near the napkins & napkin rings. Fold along different lines each time so a permanent crease never has the chance to set into the cloth.
