Tablecloth - a very ancient household item, saturated with traditions and rituals. The first tablecloths began to be used in ancient Egypt, when the Egyptians mastered the art of creating delicate fabrics from cotton or linen fibers. The canvas produced by the Egyptians was distinguished by sufficient subtlety and the presence of embroidery elements. In addition, the tablecloth has long been considered an attribute of family success and well-being. Any event, celebration, just lunch or family dinner can not do without a table covered with a tablecloth.
What form of tablecloth to choose
Tablecloths today are presented in a variety of shapes, types, sizes and materials. A properly selected tablecloth gives a special character in the setting and is able to emphasize the significance of the celebration. This coating creates comfort, complements the interior and protects the surface of the table. The choice of a tablecloth primarily depends on the shape of the countertop.
The main forms of the tablecloth include: oval, round, square and rectangular. Oval table decorate the oval shape of the tablecloth, but also rectangular. Round ones are suitable for a round table and a square model will be the best option. for rectangular and square tables, appropriate tablecloths are used.
Tablecloth size
According to the rules of etiquette, the length of the tablecloth descending from the countertop isno more than 15-25 cm from each side. For a buffet tablecloth, the tablecloth should hang from the end of the table to the floor, hiding the legs of the table. For official receptions and banquets, tablecloths are used in large sizes, hanging about 40 centimeters. To measure an oval-shaped table, width and length are used, for a round - diameter, in rectangular - both sides, and for a square one just take the length of one side. If you have a sliding table, a tablecloth-companion is useful for serving, which imperceptibly hides the transitions between fabrics.
Important criteria for choosing a tablecloth also include - material and color. If we talk about colors, then a snow-white tablecloth is still considered the most popular option for a ceremonial table setting. A number of pastel colors will also look elegant. Informal events will decorate color products. They are very practical, and a bright saturated color gives a pleasant mood, giving the interior a special charm. Color can be any, but it is important to maintain harmony with the color of the dishes and interior elements. It will be interesting to look at the use of two plain tablecloths of different colors, beautifully combined with each other. The complementary and contrasting selection of two colors or the combination of a dark and light shade of the same color perfectly harmonizes. If it is difficult to determine the color, choose the neutral option.
Choose material
If you have to choose a tablecloth for every day, polyester, or a combined version of cotton and polyester, including with special impregnation, is suitable. Teflon or acrylic impregnated cotton tablecloths keep your table free of grease and water. Such fabrics repel fat and water well, are easy to wash, do not wrinkle, and provide a long service life. But it is worth remembering that tablecloths of polyester fiber are highly flammable.
The tablecloth for special occasions should be made of natural materials, such as cotton, linen, and silk, making an impression on the guests of the holiday. Products from such fabrics, of course, will cost more, but they look very impressive and noble, emphasizing the perfect table setting. However, natural fabrics require care and have an unfortunate ability to shrink slightly and lose color saturation after washing. With careful consideration and proper operation, a cotton tablecloth can last up to 2-5 years. However, a combination of synthetic and natural fabrics is an ideal option.
An indispensable addition to the choice of tablecloths in the hotel and restaurant sector and for home use is the selection of a tablecloth companion, runner (track) and napkins, or the acquisition of a whole set.
