Find the perfect tablecloth for any occasion
When picking the correct tablecloth size, drop, and dimensions, consider the following:
- Measure your table: Take accurate measurements of your table's length, width, and height. These measurements will serve as the basis for selecting the appropriate tablecloth size.
- Determine the drop length: The drop is the amount of fabric that hangs down from the edge of the table. To calculate the drop length, decide how much you want the tablecloth to overhang. A standard drop is around 8-12 inches, but you can adjust it based on your preference and the occasion.
- Consider the occasion: The type of event or occasion can influence the choice of tablecloth size. For formal events, a longer drop and a floor-length tablecloth may be preferred. For casual or outdoor settings, a shorter drop and a smaller tablecloth may be suitable.
- Factor in table leaves: If your table has extension leaves, measure the table with the leaves inserted to ensure you choose a tablecloth that fits when the table is fully extended.
Here’s a chart that will help determine the best size for your table. These sizes are flexible depending on the drop length you’d like. As a general rule, the longer the drop, the more formal the look. You’ll also want a longer drop when you prefer to hide the legs of the table (or the extra supplies you are stashing underneath).
