How to choose your table linen?
Whether your table is rectangular, oval, round or square, it isn't always easy to work out the right tablecloth size. The choice obviously depends on the size of your table, but also on the style you want to give your interior. A drop of 20 to 30 cm gives a relaxed look, while a drop of 40 to 50 cm brings a more traditional touch.
Tips:
- A square tablecloth on a rectangular table? It's possible, and very on-trend!
- Our nomad piece (110x180 cm), a hybrid between a table runner and a tablecloth, easily adapts to any table for a more relaxed style.
