You might have a gorgeous set of dinnerware on a perfect table, but it’s the tablecloth that creates the landscape that pulls it all together.
Today's Top Deals
Of course, a tablecloth is mainly decorative. Let’s be honest; it’s a long piece of fabric that covers a table. On some level, it may exist to protect the table from spills and stains, but it’s more than that. These days we buy tables we can use daily and rarely host the Queen, which would obviously require our most formal dining settings. The right tablecloth will not only set the mood and style but help elevate it. A table covering can be casual for an impromptu pasta night with the kids but becomes decorative and formal by simply switching out your tablecloth.
Tablecloths today come in myriad fabrics, styles and sizes. The right one for you will depend on the size and shape of your table, of course, as getting a square cloth for a round table would serve little to no purpose. But there’s so much more to it, from the mood and style you are hoping to go for to the fabrics that most fit your lifestyle.
