By material
There are tablecloths made of natural and artificial fabrics. It is quite difficult to care for models made from natural materials, therefore they are used much less often. They require gentle washing and ironing. The following tablecloths of this type can be seen on sale.

- Polyester is a synthetic material, having high wear resistance, therefore it will serve for many years without losing its original aesthetic appearance. There is also a negative quality - such tablecloths are highly flammable, so during the holiday it is not recommended to use candles for decoration. Some products are made with a combination of fabrics, complementing polyester with cotton. They are practical, extremely durable and do not wrinkle too much.

They have a beautiful appearance, they can look extremely aesthetically pleasing, and in some cases it is difficult to distinguish them from fabric materials, for example, Teflon coatings can be openwork.

Secrets of choice
Many people think that choosing a tablecloth is very simple, but this is only at first glance. Initially, you need to consider for what reason the table is being laid. There are several options for selecting the best product.
- The tablecloth should match the color palette and fabric decoration of the entire room. The appearance of curtains, upholstered furniture, finishes should be taken into account.
- You can use contrasting solutions, and highlight the table with a bright and original tablecloth.
It is important to pay attention to the size of the table so as not to choose a tablecloth that is too large or too small. The product should hang from the table top by about 30 cm. When purchasing it, you must make an allowance. If you buy models made from natural materials, you should take into account the likelihood of their shrinkage. It is recommended to choose a canvas that reaches the floor. This solution is a stylish option.
Since manufacturers offer models with certain thematic images, you need to carefully study the entire range in order to choose the necessary accessory. On New Year's products, you can see the embroidery of Christmas trees or drawings in the form of Santa Claus and Snow Maiden.
