Tablecloth Size Chart
When selecting the perfect tablecloth, understanding sizing is key to achieving the desired look and functionality for your dining space. Here's a guide to help you choose the right tablecloth size:
1. **Measure Your Table**: Start by measuring the length and width of your table. For round tables, measure the diameter.
2. **Determine the Drop Length**: The drop is the amount of fabric that hangs over the edge of the table. A standard drop is between 6 to 12 inches, but for formal settings, you might prefer a longer drop of 15 inches or more.
3. **Calculate the Tablecloth Size**:
- For rectangular and square tables, add twice the desired drop length to both the length and width of the table. For example, if your table is 60 inches long and you want a 10-inch drop, you would need a tablecloth that is 80 inches long (60 + 2x10).
- For round tables, add twice the desired drop length to the diameter of the table. If your table has a 50-inch diameter and you want a 10-inch drop, look for a tablecloth that is 70 inches in diameter.
4. **Consider the Occasion**: Casual settings may be more forgiving with shorter drops, while formal events often require longer, more elegant drops.
5. **Account for Table Extensions**: If your table has leaves or extensions, be sure to measure accordingly when they are in use.
By following these steps, you can ensure that your tablecloth fits perfectly, enhancing the aesthetic of your dining area while providing practical coverage.
