Picking the Perfect Tablecloth

Buying the Right Size Tablecloth

Most people think that there is a standard tablecloth size, but the reality is that you have to get the right fit for your table. To get the right fit, follow these simple steps:

1. Prep Your Table
   

   When you're looking to buy a new tablecloth, the first step is to size your table. In order to do that, you need to make sure that it is completely cleared of clutter on the surface and all additional pieces (leaves, etc.) are placed to get the proper measurements.

2. Shape
   

   When looking for the perfect type of tablecloth, you'll first need to consider the shape of your table. Shapes can include rectangular or oblong, round, square and oval. Equally important is the size of your table or the number of people that it can accommodate. Some tablecloth packages base measurements on the number of people that can fit comfortably around your table. However, the most accurate way to determine size is by simply measuring your table. It's also important to consider how far you want the tablecloth to hang over the edge. This is most commonly called the "drop." A normal drop can be anywhere from 6-12 inches, and for more formal occasions, it can go all the way down to 30 inches.

3. Measure (Twice)
   

   Measure the length and width of the table (or diameter if you have a round table). We recommend using a rigid tape measure to get the most accurate measurements. It all comes down to one incredibly easy forumla. Simply determine your desired drop and plug in your numbers.
   
   Table length + (Drop x 2) = Tablecloth length
   Table width + (Drop x 2) = Tablecloth width
   
   So, if your table measured 48" x 60" and your desired drop was 8 inches, you would be shopping for a 64" x 72" tablecloth.

   Once you have completed your measurements, decide how far you would like your tablecloth to fall from the floor. This is called the drop. For a look that suits your everyday tastes, the drop should be more than six inches. Anything shorter than six inches, it will make the tablecloth look like it's too small for your table. For a more formal setting, the drop should cover the length from the table to the chair or floor.

4. Color & Texture
   
   Keep your dinnerware and decor in mind when choosing a tablecloth and accessories. Find a tablecloth that represents your own personal taste, and don't be afraid to mix and match mapkins and placemats with different colors and textures for a vibrant table setting.
   
   
5. Care
   

   Make sure to check the package for appropriate care instructions when you purchase a tablecloth. Most tablecloths are machine washable. Just shake the crumbs off outside (if possible), throw it in the wash and tumble dry on low. Some require the use of a warm iron to smooth out creases and wrinkles leftover from the dryer.
