Reimagine your dining tables with our collection of cotton table cloth

The dining table is more than just a place where you sit down to eat – in many homes, this is where the morning starts with conversations and plans for the day over a cup of tea. This is often where the day ends, with a simple meal and a chat about how everything went. For many, this is where their office is and for others, this is where the children sit down to complete their homework. From an afternoon gossip session with friends to a family game night, there is so much that happens at the dining table, but how much attention do we really pay to the table itself? Often, we don’t go beyond the plain table cloth to put over the table to protect it from spills and stains. 

A dining table is not something you purchase every other day; it is an important investment and you need to make sure that you take good care of it. Wooden tables need a coat of polish or varnish every other year and when you have tables made with marble or glass, you will need to add a layer of protection, such as a good quality table cloth, like the ones you can find at The Yellow Dwelling. A table cloth goes beyond just being a cloth you spread over the table as a layer of protection – it can create a statement or an ambience of festivity with ease and grace.

Pretty and protective – going beyond the plain table cloth

Agreed that the table cloths that you can find at The Yellow Dwelling are extremely pretty, but there is a reason, rather several reasons, why the table cloth was originally created.  

• Protecting your table – The table cloth essentially acts as a protective layer, safeguarding your table from scratches, stains, and heat damage. It not only preserves the beauty of your furniture but also ensures longevity, making it a practical choice for every household.
• Versatile and meant for every occasion - Tablecloths offer incredible versatility, adapting seamlessly to different occasions. Whether it’s a formal dinner, a casual brunch, or a festive gathering, a tablecloth enhances the dining experience. It is easy to find tablecloths meant for everyday use and for special occasions too. 
• Enhancing the dining experience – Whether it’s a dinner party for your friends or you having a quiet family dinner, a linen or cotton table cloth can enhance the overall experience. By creating a cohesive and inviting atmosphere, a tablecloth encourages everyone at the table to relax and enjoy the meal. Add some matching table runners, napkins, or placemats and the table will look elegant and inviting. 

At The Yellow Dwelling, you will be able to choose table cloths for all kinds of occasions and a variety of colours, prints and patterns. 

Floral or geometric table cloth – which should you pick?

When you come to our stores, there is a chance that you might get confused – that will be because of the sheer choice that we offer! However, when trying to choose the perfect table cloths for your dining table, there are some points, you can choose to keep in mind:

• Consider the material - The choice of material significantly impacts the look and feel of your tablecloth and you should ideally look for natural fabrics. Cotton is easy to maintain, durable and perfect for everyday use, while linen adds a touch of luxury with its soft texture and natural appeal. You can also look for fabric blends that are a more practical option for regular usage and easy maintenance. 
• Size matters - Selecting the right size is crucial for achieving that polished look. A well-fitted tablecloth should have a balanced overhang on all sides, typically between 6 to 12 inches. Measure your table accurately and choose a size that complements your dining area. 
• Design decisions – Then there is the design of your tablecloth; that too has a role to play in the overall aesthetics of your dining space. For instance, if you have a modern interior, minimalist designs will work great, while floral prints offer a fresh, lively touch. If you want to give your dining room a contemporary look, choose a geometric table cloth.

Caring for table cloths made easy 

Buying your table cloths is one thing; but you also need to make sure that you maintain them well, so that they last you a long time. Here is what you can do:

• Always wash with a mild detergent and cold water to preserve the fabric’s color and texture.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach as these can damage the color and weaken the fibers. 
• Remember to switch the table cloths on a regular basis to maintain the fabrics. 
• Iron at a low to medium setting to remove wrinkles and maintain a crisp appearance.
• Store your tablecloth in a dry, cool place when not in use to prevent discoloration or damage.
