How To Select The Right Size Tablecloth For Your Table

Tablecloths bring ambience and completeness to your dining experience. Whether formal or casual, it adds the special touch to the occasion that you would like to remember and celebrate.

  • For formal dining, we suggest 8 to 12 inch drops on all sides. For casual dining, a 6 to 8 inch drop is sufficient.
  • For a more dramatic look, lengthen the drop on each side. This will create a puddle effect on the floor and is ideal for lavish celebrations.
  • To determine the size you need, measure the length and width (or diameter, if you have a round table) of your table and add twice the desired drop to each figure.
Here is a basic list of standard tablecloth sizes and table sizes they would fit:

SQUARE -
A 72" X 72" cloth will fit tables that are up to 32" X 32" square table. These tables will seat 4-6 people.

OBLONG/OVAL -
A 48" X 60" cloth will fit tables that are up 32" X 44" oblong or oval table. These tables will seat 4-6 people.
A 72" X 90" cloth will fit tables that are up to 56" X 74" oblong or round table. These tables will seat 6-8 people.
A 72" X 108" cloth will fit tables that are up to 56" X 92" oblong or round table. These tables will seat 8-10 people.

ROUND -
A 36" cloth will fit tables 24" in diameter round table. These tables will seat 1-2 people. This size cloth is good for a small bistro table or side table.
A 70" cloth will fit tables 54" in diameter round table. These tables will seat 6-8 people.
A 90" cloth will fit tables 74" in diameter round table. These tables will seat 8-10 people.

For every table, we recommend a drop (overhang of your tablecloth) of at least 8 inches. That means the 8" fold over that is on each side will hang over the sides and give you an attractive look to match your decorating style or mood for any occasion!

Some of you may want the drop to be lower than the standard 8 inches. If you want a 15-inch drop which would be halfway down from where it was originally folded up, or all way down with 30 inch folds going straight below, then please see our suggested sizes in order to calculate what type might work best for whichever option suits your needs best.

For every dining room set out there - make sure to get yourself some nice matching linens and fold them accordingly so they have no creases when hung.
