Elevate Your Dining Experience With Table Linens

A dining table is much more than just a piece of furniture on which meals are served – it is where families & friends come together, communicate, celebrate, and cherish. Such interactions are made better through table linens, which help to complement them and bring class and style to the table. Our table linens are perfect if you are having a formal dinner; eating a meal with your family, or celebrating a festive occasion. Let us now talk about ways in which you can incorporate our table linens to adorn the tables.

Choosing the Perfect Tablecloth

Tablecloth is the base of table setting so the color and type of tablecloth you choose should complement your style as well as the occasion for which you're dressing the table. The material of your tablecloth is also of significant importance since it defines the atmosphere of the room overall. Cotton tablecloths offer a polished look, are easy to care and are suitable for use but also can be adorned on special occasions. One step higher are our linen tablecloths, rendering a more luxurious look that is suitable to be used when dining formally or during occasions such as anniversaries or birthdays.

When it comes to colors and patterns, it is vital to think about the desired atmosphere in the interior. Classic shades such as white, beige, or gray give a cleaner and simpler look that can be used as a base and can easily complement most tableware and center-pieces. For a more vibrant look, go with patterned tablecloths in solid shades of aqua, fuchsia, or even green.

Layering with Table Runners

Table runners are a part of table accessories that are quite useful, elegant, and functional to be placed on a dining table which helps add extra texture to the table’s aesthetic. The length and position of the table runners can somehow affect the appearance aspect of table settings. If it is a formal look, then opt for a runner that is the length of the table and perhaps an inch or two beyond the table’s edges. This renders a formal impression and a feeling of togetherness. However, if you wish to create a trendy feel, it is recommended to use short runners, placed right in the middle of the table. This approach is excellent when you want to draw attention to the centerpiece or several candles.

It should also be noted that table runners often look great when combined with tablecloths and give an additional layered aesthetic. Similar colors can be matched, for example, a plain color tablecloth accompanied by a colored placemat. You also have the prospect of creating a more interesting texture on the table by putting a linen table runner on top of a cotton tablecloth or the other way around.

A Touch of Elegance with Placemats

Placemats are both practical and decorative and improve the setting of the overall table, while also rendering protection to your table. Our woven placemats offer a rustic look that is perfect for both outdoor dining as well casual indoor meals. For a more refined touch, our cotton and linen placemats are an ideal choice. These placemats do not have a rough surface, giving your meal a classy look, especially during formal occasions or when you have coordinated your tablecloth and napkins.

Putting the ‘Finishing Touches’ with Napkins

Napkins are the final furnishing of the table and, in our assortment, you will find a huge number of samples. Cotton napkins are suitable for everyday use, they are relatively soft and absorbent, and come in a multitude of colors and prints so they’ll harmoniously match your tablecloth and placemats. Linen napkins, especially for a more upscale look, are preferred as well as recommended. They are stylish as well as durable so they could be used in everyday dining or for special occasions.

How you fold the napkin can be an added idea on how to enhance your table setting. A simple fold is fashionable, with minimal markings, making it perfect to place under the forks, or directly on the plate. Extraordinary folds like the fan, pocket, or the incorporation of a napkin ring are a plus to those who love to have some twist in their meals to show off to their guests.

Care and Maintenance

Here are the steps that should be taken in proper care of table linens to retain their beauty for them to last long:

For specific washing instructions regarding your table linens, it is always recommended to read the care label; however, the majority of our cotton and linen table linens can be washed in cold water in the washing machine.
For a sharp and finished look, it is recommended that tablecloths or table napkins be ironed while damp.
Do not leave your table linens exposed to direct sunlight as this may result in the linens' fading.
