How to choose a tablecloth design

It is sometimes not easy to decide on a model. Many factors affect color, shape, fabric and its size. These features need to be considered before picking up a tablecloth to the interior of the kitchen.

Important! Make no mistakes with style.

Classic cuisine requires soothing colors, restrained shapes and natural fabrics. Modern design prefers minimalism, discreet tones. The Venetian style, on the contrary, is replete with shades, rich in lines and lace.

For a classic kitchen, it is better to choose a linen or cotton tablecloth

Towels, curtains, rugs and rags in the kitchen of Provence, overlapping, make her alive. A tablecloth made in the same style will complement this variety of details.

We can distinguish the main categories of modern types of tablecloths:

1. Decorative, most often used as “table decoration”, serve as an interior item.
2. Dining (everyday and solemn), diverse canvases, give the table a complete composition, protect the surface from various kinds of damage.

For everyday use, choose tablecloths from inexpensive and practical fabrics

The latter, in turn, can be single-layer, or correspond to the classic table setting, representing a muleton (a cover that is laid under the tablecloth) and naperon (the main fabric). Two-layer fabrics originate from the restaurant chain, but have long taken root in household goods.

Holiday tablecloths can be simply elegant or thematic, they can be several in different styles

The tendency to decorate the table with renderer paths of various configurations, materials and colors has widespread.

Tablecloths are laid directly on the surface of the table or on top of the main tablecloth

I wonder how they pick up tablecloths for the kitchen?

Determine the purpose of the tablecloth, should it be water-repellent?

Making a choice, each housewife must understand what function this or that model performs. It is advisable to have several paintings of different quality.

Unpleasant incidents, spilled drinks, fat drops, overturned sauce are possible at the table, and the tablecloth should always look neat. In this case, it is worth considering the option of a waterproof or waterproof fabric with impregnation. One that is easy to put in proper form, and in addition, it will protect the table surface from damage.

Tablecloth with water-repellent surface suitable for everyday use

Most often, water-repellent tablecloths are made of artificial materials:

• synthetic;
• semi-synthetic (natural fiber alternates with artificial).

Oilcloths constitute a separate category of table decoration. Such material is not afraid of “neither rain nor slush”, but its strength and environmental friendliness leave much to be desired.It should be noted that today this category of goods is presented in assortment.

Nevertheless, from the point of view of aesthetics, for a perfect fit in unison with the kitchen, it is advisable to abandon the film on the table. There are a lot of modern tablecloths on the kitchen table.

How to choose a tablecloth to the shape of the table (oval, round)

Depending on the configuration of the table, you need to choose a tablecloth. For example, for an oval instance with an expensive countertop, an oval tablecloth on the kitchen table is water-repellent.

In most cases, the shape of the table and tablecloth should match

For a round - a tablecloth with an elastic band. But there are some rules:

• a round table for the kitchen is suitable for a tablecloth, both round and square, laid diagonally;
• an oval table fits an oval tablecloth for the kitchen, as well as a rectangular one, with evenly falling edges;
• on square and rectangular tables, it is advisable to lay the appropriate shape of the tablecloth.

A square tablecloth on a rectangular table is a rather bold decision

We find the optimal size. For a harmonious perception of dishes and the appearance of the table, it is customary that the edges of the tablecloth fall by about 20-25 cm. This means that the length and width of the canvas should exceed the size of the tabletop by no more than 30 cm, but not less than 15 cm. Otherwise, the tablecloth will be too short.

The tablecloth to the floor is suitable only for banquet tables, and a very short one does not look good

The exception is linen. When washing, it gives a strong shrink. Therefore, when buying this product, you need to worry in advance about additional centimeters.

Do not cover the table with fabrics to the floor, and even more so combine them with chair covers, the whole look of the dining room is lost, and you get the feeling of a cafe or restaurant. In addition, floor lengths are unsafe for small children.

Using a tablecloth, you can hide some of the shortcomings of the tabletop and legs, give a solid image to an inexpensive table
