Selecting the right tablecloth. Back to Helpful Hints

 



NEED HELP FINDING THE RIGHT TABLECLOTH TO MEET YOUR NEEDS?

1. Choose a Material: Vinyl tablecloths are low maintenance and wipe clean easily. Fabric tablecloths can be machine washed and dried and offer excellent color, size and shape retention.
2. Select a Pattern: If applicable, choose from the patterns shown in the vinyl tablecloth section of the web site. Many more patterns are also available. Please Contact Us for details.
3. Select a Color: Color creates the mood. Choose soft pastel colors for a quiet, relaxing setting or bold jewel tones to generate excitement. Tablecloths can also be color coordinated to match existing décor and tableware. For a dramatic look, choose colors and patterns that provide an interesting contrast to existing décor and tableware.
4. Determine the Size You Need: An 8" drop is recommended on all four sides.
a) For rectangular or square tables, add 16" to the width and depth of the table.
b) For round tables, add 16" to the diameter of the table.
c) For booth tables, add 16" to the depth and 8" to the width of the table.

HOW TO BUILD THE PERFECT TABLE

1. Select Table Padding: Add comfort and cushioning to your table with table padding.
It also helps muffle noise and reduces glassware breakage.
2. Select Tablecloth: The color or design of the tablecloth sets the mood. For help on finding the right tablecloth see our available products online.
3. Select Napkins: Napkins add a splash of color to the tablecloth or can be matched to your tablecloth. The fold you select also sets the level of elegance.
