Shopping for a Tablecloth
June 22nd, 2009 admin
Many people question what type of tablecloth is best suited for use in their home. With such an assortment of styles, shapes and fabrics to select from it may seem hard to determine what is right for your decor. Here are a couple of tips that should help you.
Since a tablecloth can be found in different shapes: rectangle, oval, round and square, one won’t have trouble finding the perfect tablecloth for the kitchen, dining room or outside living space. Before you buy your tablecloth be careful to measure your table because each shape also comes in several different sizes. For example, depending on the size of your table and the amount of fabric you’d like draping from the top of the table, a round tablecloth can measure anywhere from 70″ to 132″. If you want an unique shape, think about ordering a made-to-order tablecloth.
Tablecloths come in an variety of colors and fabrics certain to fit any home decor. They make immediately changing the appearance of any room both simple and inexpensive. A tablecloth can be used not just for the esthetics of your table. It can also be a great way to protect delicate wood surfaces from scrapes and cover damage or imperfections in your table top.
When choosing your tablecloth, think about where you will be using it. If you have an eat-in kitchen where you are planning to use a tablecloth on a daily basis then consider a laminate fabric. A laminate tablecloth is easy to wipe clean and some laminates can even be laundered. A formal dining room doesn’t get used that frequently and the tablecloth tends to be more of a decoration. This makes a woven damask printed tablecloth, with its texture and stain resistant finish, a perfect choice for the room. If outside dining on your porch or patio is a frequent event then opt for a vinyl tablecloth. Be sure the tablecloth has a hole in the center and you will be able to use it with the table’s umbrella on the sunniest of days.
A tablecloth has the power to change any room instantly. You can add pizzaz to an eating area with even the most basic spun polyester tablecloth, if it matches the motif of the room. The options are endless and the best way to shop for a tablecloth is to have fun with it!
