An oval tablecloth will only work for an oval table. A tabletop of this shape can also be covered with a rectangular product, but it is the soft lines of the falling canvas that give the furniture a special charm.

Depending on the purpose, different materials are used to cover the table. They can be natural, synthetic or blended.

• Natural. These include expensive, pleasant to the touch, but impractical materials - linen, cotton, silk. They easily absorb liquid, are difficult to clean and hard to iron. It is more practical to use them together with naperons.

• Synthetic. Teflon products and polyester oilcloths fall into this category. Synthetic models repel moisture, dirt can be simply wiped off with a damp cloth.

• Mixed. In the composition of this type of coating, cotton fibers and polyester threads are used. Such products retain the beauty of natural canvases, but at the same time acquire protective properties.

A beautiful tablecloth, especially handmade (openwork, pineapple or other knitting), is a spectacular decoration of the interior. A transparent silicone beige or white tablecloth decorated with lace looks great.

Choosing a model for an oval table in any room, designers use one of three main directions in the design.

• for daily use - 145x185 cm;

• for meeting guests - 165x245 cm;

• for special occasions - up to 350 cm.
