Home textiles perfectly complement the interior, making it more interesting and elegant.

But, in order for the effect to be truly positive, you need to approach the choice of tablecloth responsibly.

Material

First, you need to decide what you need such textiles for. For example, you can use fabric to protect the tabletop from damage, or you can simply decorate the table during the holidays.

In the first case, the tablecloth can be made of synthetics, impregnated with special agents against water and high temperatures. The second option involves choosing expensive natural materials that will make the atmosphere festive.

Table shape

If the table is round, then you need to choose a round or square tablecloth. If we are talking about an oval tabletop, then a rectangular option will also work.

For a rectangular table, you can choose not only a tablecloth that matches the name, but you can also pay attention to the “runner”.

The last option, by the way, can be used over the main tablecloth.

Color and design

The color and type of tablecloth should be chosen based on the overall interior design. Experienced housewives recommend giving preference to neutral shades, which can be easily complemented with dishes.

The best option is white, beige, coffee-colored textiles, as well as ivory color, which will suit any interior.
