To help you find the right size among the options available, we offer a detailed guide to help you choose your tablecloth
How do you choose the right tablecloth?
Ideally, the tablecloth should extend beyond the edges of the table. For the best look, allow for a drop of at least 30 cm on each side—meaning a total of 60 cm of extra width beyond your table's actual size.
Letting plenty of fabric hang down creates a draped, skirt-like effect. Conversely, a tablecloth that is too short might look undersized... It’s all about finding the right balance.
What size tablecloth for a rectangular table?
Rectangular tables have become a favourite in dining rooms in recent years. They are also practical: a rectangular table works just as well in the center of the room as it does in a corner. Pair it with a lovely linen tablecloth, and you have a winning combination!
- For a table seating 6 to 8 guests, choose a 175 x 250 cm tablecloth.
- For a table seating 8 to 10 guests, a 175 x 350 cm tablecloth is the perfect choice.
- For larger tables or those with unusual dimensions, consider a custom-made tablecloth by adding 60 to 100 cm to your table's length and width. This ensures the tablecloth is large enough to cover the entire surface while also creating an elegant drape.
What size tablecloth for a square table?
Ideal for square rooms, this type of table brings a lovely sense of symmetry to your space.
- For a square table seating 6 to 8 people, the ideal tablecloth measures between 175 and 190 cm on each side.
- For a small square table seating 4 guests, choose a 150 x 150 cm tablecloth.
- For a large square table seating 8 to 10 guests, opt for a tablecloth measuring 230 or 244 cm on each side.
Which tablecloth for a round table?
Inherently sociable, the round table ensures no one is left at the end or stuck in a corner. Why not break with convention? There is no rule stating you must choose a tablecloth that matches the shape of your table. In fact, a square tablecloth allows you to play with symmetry and add a contemporary touch to your interior décor.
- We offer a 175 x 175 cm tablecloth, ideal for round tables designed to seat 4 to 6 guests.
- For other sizes, you can order a custom-made tablecloth by adding 50 to 60 cm to your table's diameter, depending on the desired overhang.
What size tablecloth should you choose for an oval table?
A rectangular tablecloth is the ideal choice for an oval table. It lends a modern touch to your dining room as the corners drape elegantly toward the floor. If this shape seems unusual, remember that an extendable round table transforms into an oval one!
- For 6 to 8 guests, opt for a 175 x 250 cm tablecloth.
- For 10 to 12 guests, choose a 175 x 350 cm tablecloth.
- For smaller or larger tables, consider a custom-sized tablecloth, adding 100 cm to each side.
