When preparing an elegant and welcoming table, the tablecloth plays a fundamental role. Linen is a popular material for tablecloths due to its elegance and durability. However, choosing the right linen tablecloth can seem daunting given the variety of options available. Don’t worry! In this post, we want to give you some tips to help you choose the perfect tablecloth for your table.
The Correct Size
Before purchasing a linen tablecloth, make sure you know the dimensions of your table. You should also consider for what occasions you will use it. A tablecloth for everyday use is not the same as one for family gatherings, meals, or dinner parties where you want to create a cinematic table setting. You should choose a tablecloth that is large enough to cover the table completely, and for your everyday meals, we recommend a drop of 30cm/40cm on each side. But if you want a ‘movie-like’ linen tablecloth, go for one that reaches the floor, long and with a generous drop. If you can’t find the size you need of the tablecloth you like on our website, you can email us at info@losencajeros.es and tell us what you need. Don’t forget that we tailor-make whatever you want.
Style and Design
Choose a style and design of tablecloth that suits the ambiance you want to create on your table. The linen tablecloths you will find on our website come in both linen and jacquard styles. In the latter category, you’ll find damask tablecloths in cotton, linen, and linen-cotton blends. That’s why it’s important to consider the style of your tableware and the occasion for which you want the tablecloth to make the right decision. In the LINEN TABLECLOTHS COLLECTION section, you’ll find our linen tablecloths with overlays and embroideries. And in JACQUARD TABLECLOTHS, you’ll find designs with jacquard patterns ranging from classic to more modern and minimalist.
Color
The color of the tablecloth can have a significant impact on the overall appearance of your table. Our linen tablecloths are available in a variety of colors, from neutrals like white and beige to shades like cardinal red or emerald green. Choose a color that complements your home decor and creates the desired atmosphere. As mentioned before, if you want a color that you don’t find in our online store, write to us at info@losencajeros.es.
Linen Quality
Choose high-quality linen tablecloths that are durable and wrinkle-resistant. At Los Encajeros, we understand that our linens make our tablecloths a luxury piece. Good linen will become softer and more beautiful with each wash, making it a worthwhile long-term investment
Care and Maintenance
All our linen or cotton tablecloths can be machine washed at a maximum temperature of 30ºC and preferably with a short spin cycle. Dry cleaning is not recommended, and when ironing, it’s best to iron while the cloth is slightly damp and at a maximum temperature of 110ºC.
We recommend always using a table pad underneath the tablecloth, which will protect your table and also give it more structure and coziness.
All our tablecloths have matching napkins, which you can also customize by embroidering your initials. You will find them within the product you have chosen, as well as the font types and colors available. Personalization always adds an exclusive touch to your table linens.
With these tips in mind, you’ll be ready to choose the perfect linen tablecloth for your table. Prepare your table with style and enjoy your meals with elegance and distinction!
