All about tablecloths for round tables

A round table is always a decoration of a kitchen or living room. Such models are more popular than square or rectangular ones. But to make the round table look even more impressive, it needs to be decorated. This can be done with a beautiful tablecloth. We will consider the features and selection of models for round furniture in this article.

The main advantage of round tables in the interior is that they can be decorated with any kind of tablecloth.... Suitable rectangular, long options, openwork, colored and monochromatic. But perhaps the most interesting thing is the round models.

Today there are several common materials for making tablecloths for a round table.

• Polyester... This is arguably one of the more budget-friendly options. Such models are easy to wipe and even wash. They dry quickly, do not need ironing.

• Oilcloth... Another cheap material, great for a family with children. It is water-repellent and does not need to be washed.

• Cotton... Nice and high quality fabric, looks decent, easy to clean.

• Teflon, acrylic. These fabrics are impregnated in a special way and have dirt-repellent qualities.They can often be found in cafes and restaurants. They do not differ in wear resistance, they quickly lose their spectacular appearance.

• Linen... This is a very beautiful material, a real table decoration. Suitable for festive serving. But it is difficult to take care of it, especially to iron it. It is important to ensure that no greasy food gets on the tablecloth.

• Silk... Silk solutions look incredibly impressive. The material is easy to clean, but it is not recommended to use it on a daily basis.

• Vinyl... One of the best materials for tablecloths. It resists high temperatures well, but is quite expensive.

• Silicone... This is a transparent tablecloth, the main task of which is to protect the table. You can spill liquids on such a canvas, as well as put it hot.

The density of the fabric determines the durability of the tablecloth itself. The denser the material, the longer the product will last. Tablecloths used on a daily basis should be of the highest density. They can be made from fabrics such as linen, mother, cotton, crane, jacquard, twill. Models made of silk, satin, teflon have a lower density, therefore they are able to wipe and lose their presentable appearance.

To make the tablecloth look beautiful, you need to correctly determine its size. This is not at all difficult to do, you just need to measure the diameter of the table and add 20 centimeters to it. For example, if the diameter is 100 cm, then you need to purchase a 120 cm tablecloth. For festive models add about 40-45 cm - this way the tablecloth will hang in spectacular folds.

For rectangular models, measure the long side and add 20 cm to it, for square models - one of the sides and the same number of centimeters. These are standard parameters. Depending on the size of the table itself, the following dimensions of tablecloths can be found on sale:

• 90;
• 100;

• 140;
• 145;

You need to choose a tablecloth responsibly, because it is an important piece of furniture. It is necessary to build on the following criteria.

The tablecloth can be designed for daily use or for the holidays. Models for everyday use should be comfortable. It is better to choose the length of +20 centimeters so that the material does not interfere with food intake. The surface should not slip too much, otherwise there is a high risk of dropping a plate or glass on the floor. It is better to choose a fabric that is practical.

Festive tablecloths can be of any look, since you will not use them often. Options from silk, satin, velvet are appropriate here. You can choose both classic and thematic solutions.

If the product is intended for everyday use, it is better to choose the color version. A white tablecloth for the kitchen is not a good solution. Any stain will be visible on it, the tablecloth will have to be constantly washed, because of which it will quickly lose its density and will look ugly. However, this does not apply to oilcloths, which can be simply wiped with a damp cloth.

You can choose tablecloths for the living room in any shade - the main thing is that it matches the style of the interior. Drawings, prints, wicker openwork solutions will be appropriate. The living room model should not be long, as it looks too pretentious and intrusive.
