Introduction
Choosing the right tablecloth for large or extra-wide tables can be a challenge, especially when balancing both style and practicality. Whether you're dressing up your table for a special occasion or protecting it for everyday use, this comprehensive guide will walk you through how to measure, select, and care for the perfect extra-wide tablecloth. Perfect for tables ranging from 140cm to 180cm in width, this article is your go-to resource.
Why Choose an Extra-Wide Tablecloth?
Extra-wide tablecloths are the perfect solution for modern living spaces. As dining tables grow larger to accommodate family gatherings and entertaining guests, standard-sized tablecloths simply don't cut it. Benefits include:
-
Full table coverage with elegant overhangs
-
Protection against scratches, spills, and damage
-
Stylish design choices for both indoor and outdoor use
Measuring Your Table for the Perfect Fit
Accurate measurements are key to finding a tablecloth that fits your table beautifully. Here’s a simple guide:
Step 1: Measure the Tabletop
-
Rectangular/Square Tables: Measure the length and width at the widest points.
-
Round Tables: Measure the diameter from edge to edge across the centre.
Step 2: Decide on the Overhang
Step 3: Calculate Your Tablecloth Size
Step 4: Choose the Nearest Standard Size
If the calculated size isn't available, choose the next standard size up or opt for a custom-made option at Table Protector Direct.
