Step 1: Measure Your Table

​

Use a flexible measuring tape to determine your table’s:

• Length and width for rectangular or oval tables

• Diameter for round tables

​​

→ Tips: Always measure the full surface of your table, not just the usable center.​

 

 

 

​Step 2: Choose Your Preferred Drop

​

The drop refers to how much fabric falls over the edge of your table — it sets the style and feel of your setting.​

​

Casual look: 20–25 cm (8–10") drop

Perfect for relaxed, everyday meals​

​

Formal look: 30–40 cm (12–16") drop
Elegant and balanced, ideal for entertaining​

​

Dramatic look: 45 cm+ (18"+) drop

Luxurious and refined — perfect for special occasions or layered tablescapes​​​

 

 

 

 

​Step 3: ​​Use These Simple Formulas​

​

Rectangular or Oval Tables

Tablecloth size = Table size + (2 × desired drop)

Example: Table: 100 × 200 cm (39 × 79 in), Desired drop: 30 cm (12 in) → Tablecloth: 160 × 260 cm (63 × 102 in)

​

Round Tables

Tablecloth diameter = Table diameter + (2 × desired drop)​

Example: Table: 12 cm (47 in) diameter, Drop: 25 cm (10 in) → Tablecloth: 170 cm (67 in) diameter

 

 

 

 

​​​​​​​Styling & Practical Tips​​

​​​

- Allow space for chairs — a longer drop may look elegant but could interfere with seating.

- For round tables, layering a square tablecloth diagonally adds a creative, artistic touch.

- Choose the drop according to occasion and mood: casual, formal, or dramatic.
