Measure the length and width of your table and add 20–30 cm extra on each side for a nice overhang. This way the tablecloth looks stylish and doesn't get in the way.
A tablecloth covers the entire table, while a table runner is narrow and usually placed across the middle. Table runners are often used as a decorative accent, sometimes combined with a tablecloth.
Always follow the washing instructions on the label. Cotton and linen can usually be washed at a low to medium temperature. Use a pre-wash treatment for stains and avoid prolonged drying in bright sunlight.
