Are you frustrated trying to figure out the perfect size tablecloth to fit your tables? Are you considering buying multiple shapes and sizes just to see which style looks best? Don’t despair—we’re here to help! Once you know what to look for, finding the right size tablecloth the first time is a breeze.
Some of the process, like the length of the tablecloth, depends on your preference. For a casual look (and a lower price!), choose a lap-length tablecloth. Floor length will be more elegant, but is also a bit pricier. Regardless of your choice, our tips will narrow your search and help you find exactly what you need!
How to Find the Right Size Tablecloth
1. Measure the dimensions of your tabletop (length x width or diameter).
2. Multiply your preferred drop length by 2, and add the result on to the tabletop dimensions.
3. Find the closest standard size that matches your tabletop dimensions, or place a custom order.
*Pro Tip* - Here’s an easy formula for finding the right size: Diameter + Desired Drop x 2 = Tablecloth Size
