The table is the place of traditions.
It is a mix of relationships, where you speak with and connect to the others.
The table is “being together”. A value which we have recently learnt to appreciate more than ever before.
Maybe this is the reason why the latest trends of interior design show us a table which moves away from excessive formality and reinvent itself according to a new freedom about the way to interpret the table setting.
The tablecloth leaves the well-known ‘classic’ shores and dives into a new sea, made up of textile islands where plates, cutlery and glasses can show all their uniqueness. The new “dress code” shows practicality combined with astonishing, extra-ordinary decorations and colours which are otherwise normally found in works of art.
For a sophisticated table and its informal setting, yet always elegant.
How to choose a tablecloth?
Same as for clothes, tablecloths dress the table providing it with the style we want to communicate to our guests. Tablecloths are the protagonists of our mise en place, and they must always be chosen with care and good taste. Starting from the elements which are wrongly considered not important.
1) How to put the tablecloth on the table
Generally speaking, the part of tablecloth projecting from the table should be 30-40 cm.
So, tablecloths should be neither too short and show the table feet, nor too long to risk to make sitting uncomfortable.
2) How to match tablecloths and napkins
You have two possibilities: choosing matching colours or playing with contrasting ones. The first solution is the one we recommend when you organise formal, elegant events.
Mixing patterns and colours, on the contrary, can be a way to test unusual combinations which you can astonish your guests with. What is important is being together with harmony.
3) Colours? Yes, please! How to choose the right nuances
Is a coloured tablecloth less elegant than a white one? Nothing could be further from the truth. Colours are always a good recipe to serve at the table, what is important is that they suit the interior, that they perfectly match plates and glasses and that they are used with a sense of proportion.
Tablecloths on the wall? Why not! New ways of conceiving the tablecloths, for furnishing the dining room
A new way of conceiving textiles for the table is lately gaining ground: using them to decorate and enhance vertical spaces in the interiors.
Forget the classic painted walls. Tablecloths turn into statement-wall, textile decorative elements which permit to create an explosion of colour and movement on your walls without even having to open a can of paint.
Suitable to all types of interiors, even to the smallest ones, the hung textiles for the table become a spectacular backstage, perfect to give personality to your house, to customise interiors in a new, original way and to play with fabric textures for an unexpected three-dimensional effect.
