Tablecloth on a round table

A beautiful dining table - decorating the room and on a holiday, and on weekdays. For this or that type of table, you must follow the rules for choosing the appropriate tablecloth. In our case, we will consider a variant of a round-shaped table.

How to choose a tablecloth on a round table?

When it comes to a square or rectangular table, the choice of a tablecloth in form is small - it must match furniture. With the round table the situation is different. To it approaches both round, and a square cloth in the form. Moreover, you can use both these tablecloths at the same time, creating a multi-layered table decoration.

If you decide to use both round and square tablecloths at the same time, then remember that the round tablecloth should be lower, and its radius should far exceed the radius of the table, so that it would look out from under the square tablecloth. You can also use contrasting colors of tablecloths to get a bright decor.

In addition to the form, it is important to be able to choose the tablecloth of the right size. The optimal size in the case of the round table will not be too big, so as not to cause difficulties when sitting at the table, and not too small when the table will look scanty.

To calculate the desired size of the tablecloth, you need to measure the radius of the countertop and add 40 cm for the overhang. So, if the diameter of the table is 100 cm, then the diameter of the round tablecloth should be 140 cm, the square tablecloth should have a size of 140x140 cm.
