How to Measure the Perfect Tablecloth Size
When choosing the perfect tablecloth size for your table, it’s essential to consider the desired overhang for an elegant and well-fitted look. We recommend an overhang of 20 cm at each end of the table, which provides an ideal drape without appearing too short or cumbersome.
How to Calculate the Perfect Tablecloth Size:
To achieve this perfect overhang, simply add 40 cm to both the length and the width of your table measurements. Here’s how you can do it:
Example Calculation:
- Table Size: 150 cm long x 100 cm wide
- Add 40 cm to the Length: 150 cm + 40 cm = 190 cm
- Add 40 cm to the Width: 100 cm + 40 cm = 140 cm
For a table measuring 150 cm long and 100 cm wide, you should choose a tablecloth that is 190 cm long and 140 cm wide. This will ensure that your tablecloth fits perfectly, providing a 20 cm overhang on each side for a polished and stylish appearance.
Quick Steps to Determine Tablecloth Size:
- Measure Your Table: Record the length and width of your table.
- Add 40 cm to Each Measurement: This accounts for the 20 cm overhang on all sides.
- Select the Appropriate Tablecloth: Choose a tablecloth that matches the new dimensions.
Tips for Perfect Overhang:
- Uniform Appearance: Ensures the tablecloth hangs evenly on all sides.
- Versatile Fit: Accommodates both rectangular and round tables.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Creates a refined and inviting dining experience.
By following these simple steps, you’ll be able to find the ideal tablecloth size for your table, enhancing your dining area with a perfect fit and a touch of elegance.
