How to Choose a Tablecloth Size?

Taking into account even the smallest details, like the size of your tablecloth and runner, can greatly enhance your home decor. Have you ever noticed how some tables don't match their tablecloths? It can be such an eyesore and detract from the overall aesthetic of a room.

If you're looking to buy a table runner or tablecloth for your dining table or any other surface, you've come to the right place. This guide will help you choose the correct tablecloth size. Also, if you're interested in the latest interior decoration trends, look at our article about tablecloths trends and rug trends on 2023.

We've designed the following tablecloth size chart to assist you in determining the perfect tablecloth size for both round and rectangular tables. Knowing how to measure tablecloths that complement your desired style will make purchasing decisions and implementing design ideas much easier. In these charts, we've based our measurements on a standard dinner table height. Furthermore, throughout our tablecloth sizing guide, you'll come across the terms "tablecloth drop" or "drop," referring to the length of the tablecloth that hangs down from the tabletop.

How to Find the Right Table Runner Sizes?

A table runner is a decorative piece of fabric that drapes along the length of a table. It can be used alone or with other table settings to enhance its appearance. Table runners come in various designs and colors, making them suitable for different styles of tables.

A runner provides an elegant alternative if you want to use something other than a tablecloth that covers the entire table surface. Placing one or two runners in a cross pattern creates a designated area on the table for arranging accessories like decorative vases, candlesticks, or decorative containers.

Table runners come in different sizes, usually 16" wide, with varying lengths to fit your table's dimensions. To ensure the best fit for your dining area, measuring your table first is recommended. Ideally, the runner should be about one-third the width of the table, with at least 6" of fabric extending over each end of the table. As a general guideline, it's advisable to choose a table runner that is at least 12" longer than the table's length.

For dining tables ranging from 50" to 60" in length, a 72" table runner is a suitable choice. For longer tables measuring 72" or more, opting for a 90" table runner is recommended.

Rectangle and Square Tablecloth Sizing Chart

When choosing the right tablecloth size for your rectangular or square table, it's important to prepare it for measurement. To do this:

• Ensure your table is extended or shrunk to the size you'll use.
• For a casual tablecloth, measure the size you use most frequently.
• If you're hosting a formal dinner, measure the dimensions you plan to use for your special occasion.

To calculate your tabletop dimensions, measure your table's length and width. The easiest way to do this is by measuring from the center of your table outward, then multiplying the measurement by two.

Factor in the desired length of your tablecloth drop, which is how far you want the cloth to hang over your table. A 10-inch drop is considered the standard. Anything under six inches will make your table look out of proportion and your linens too small. If you want a more formal look, you can extend your drop, but measure the difference between the table and chairs to ensure the fabric won't gather too much or drape on your guests' laps.

Round Tablecloth Size Chart

When purchasing round tablecloths, the measurement provided is in terms of the diameter of the cloth. To determine the appropriate size of the cloth, follow the method below.

There are two options for a formal look suitable for business and other events. The first option is to allow a 10-12 inch drop, which means you should measure the diameter of the table and then add 20-24 inches to this measurement (twice the drop). This will ensure a nicely fitted appearance. Alternatively, for a more elegant look, such as for weddings and special occasions, we recommend a 30-inch drop, the average height of most tables. With this measurement, the tablecloth will gracefully reach the floor. To calculate the size needed in this case, measure the diameter of the table and add 60 inches to this measurement.
