Table Linen & Accessories
The right table linen is essential to creating that fine dining feeling at home, adding style, flair and sophistication to your dining experience. Not sure how to dress up your table? Find the right style for your dining table according to these few helpful tips.
Standing Out with the Right Table Linen and Accessories
- Settle on the theme that you want: Do you want table linen and accessories for formal occasions or something light and airy for more laidback dining?
- The right size tablecloth depends, of course, on the size of your dining table. Measure the length and width if it’s square, rectangle or oval. Measure by diameter if it’s round. Also consider the ‘drop,’ which refers to how long you want your tablecloth to hang on each side.
- Dressing your table: Pieces like table runners also add a stunning contrast to tablecloths and other accessories, as well as an extra layer of protection. Combine a table runner in a bamboo weave with a tablecloth in a rougher texture to bring balance and to add warmth, or a cotton runner in a neutral tone with a plain white tablecloth.
- Complement table linen with napkins, placemats and coasters to provide a wonderful accent to tablecloths and other dinnerware. Other accessories like vases, candle holders and napkin rings can also be a great way to dazzle guests!
- Table linen needs to be able to survive all those unavoidable stains. Most tablecloths are made from linen and cotton, which are highly absorbent and machine washable. Other materials, like PVC and faux leather can protect tables from heat and scratches and are easily wiped down. Even washable paper is a great addition to outdoor dinners or for the kids table at those large gatherings!
- Use other elements in the room to coordinate with linen and other table accessories. Add candles and flowers, as well as dinnerware, cutlery, glasses and serving platters.
- Your tablecloth provides the foundation to your table setting, and is the dominant colour for your décor. Choose two or three supporting colours, or a mix of solids and patterns for contrast. Pair neutral tones with earthy colours for a light and summery vibe, or brooding blues and greys with rough textures. Add gold coasters or even mirrored placemats for dramatic flair.
