Round Table Cloths

Welcome to our website dedicated to round table cloths, what they are and some of the best deal available.

Round table cloths are an attractive addition to any table. Given the wide range of fabrics and designs available, round table cloths allow you to create an ambience of your choosing to compliment the food and the occasion. Even if you are not entertaining guests, round table cloths can brighten up a dining room for minimal outlay.

It’s not just about dining either. A round table cloth provides a smooth surface for worn or scratched tables, and even a disguise for perhaps a cheap table that serves a specific purpose in a room, but is not particularly attractive to look at.

Perhaps some of the most attractive types of round table cloth are those made of Damask. Damask has a long history, not just as a fabric for round table cloths, but also as an upholstery fabric, and used to be used as a clothing fabric. It is often made from silk and any pattern is raised, making a highly attractive fabric.

Irish linen is also a traditional fabric for round table cloths. This is a woven fabric, soft to the touch and often quite thick. It gives a comforting feel to any table, but perhaps one drawback is that they can be difficult to iron after washing!

Spandex round table cloths have become popular in recent years. Spandex is easy to maintain and keeps it’s appearance despite washing and general use. It can also be used as a covering for dining room chairs. It’s stretching qualities make it ideal as a fitted cover.

Probably the most common type of round table cloth are those made from polyester and cotton mixes. Polyester on it’s own can feel a little cold and like plastic, cotton by itself can be expensive and difficult to clean, so a mix of the two has a more natural feel, and is also more easily cleaned.

Another type, and use, of round table cloths are for outside furniture. OK, so you can use all those listed above outside, but given varied weather conditions, and the fact that you may want some year round protection, consider an oil cloth table cloth. These are similar to vinyl and plastic covered round table cloths and are extremely hard wearing, and of course, just wipe clean. They are particularly suitable where young children live, and because they are sometimes padded at the back, can protect the table underneath.

Round table cloths come in a wide variety of sizes, with the most popular being 70 and 90 inches in diameter. Bear in mind, that when choosing a round table cloth you should always look for one that is bigger than the surface of your table. This is because they are designed to hang over the edge of the table by 6 to 8 inches. This is to allow for a little bit of movement when people are using the table.

The patterns, styles and colors of round table cloth available today are many and varied. Whether you are looking to use it for everyday wear and tear, or hosting a special evening, a little hunting will soon guide you to what you want.
