If you thought choosing the right table was a tedious task, then you might be in for a surprise when you go shopping for the best tablecloth or table linen. Layering tablecloths or table linen, runners and napkins can give your table a designer look that can be easily changed with every season or festival. So if you are ready to buy tablecloth or table linen, here are some easy tips to follow.

>> If you are buying a tablecloth or table linen for the very first time, select neutral colors that match all types of décor, any occasion, any festival and can accommodate different table accessories.

>> If you have fancy curtains, your table cloth or table linen can match the design on the curtains adding a dash of edge to your décor.

>> If you décor is dramatic, pick darker colored tablecloths or table linen. In contrast if your décor is casual, pick lighter colored tablecloths or table linen.

>> If your room is bland and painted in neutral colors, a fancy tablecloth can add tiny pops of color to the neutral room.

>> Choose the tablecloth fabric wisely. ...
... Linen tablecloths are an all time favorite, cotton and cotton blends following close behind. But the key point to watch out for is that these fine fabrics will require high maintenance, pressing after each and every wash and at times, some even may need dry cleaning. Linen tablecloths shrink around 2-3", despite what the retailer says to you. Keep margin for this shrinkage.

>> You can pick a polyester table cloths if you want to keep the upkeep easy - just wash, dry, and use!  These low maintenance fabrics have the advantage of needing less ironing and minimal work from you, giving you more time for your party and guests and keeping you stress free!

>> Before you leave the home, make sure you measure your table’s length and breath and know the shape of your table. There are four basic tablecloth shapes: round, oblong, oval and square. There are also varied sizes of these shapes to fit each table accordingly. You don’t want to pick up a tablecloth that looks a size bigger or smaller. Also note, the average of a tablecloth should be between 6’-12”.
