You are confused and do not know which one to choose. Don't be afraid of choosing an unsuitable tablecloth, we explain everything to you to acquire the one that will suit you, to put you properly at table!
WHICH TABLE FORMAT FOR WHICH TABLECLOTH SIZE?
Whether your table is round, square or rectangular, you need to find the right size. Don't know the exact size of your table? There's a trick to leaving the tape measure in the drawer: count the number of guests present.
To make sure your guests are comfortable, allow about 50-60 cm between each of them.
Our advice: for a better result, we advise you to leave a fallout of 20 to 30 cm.

For 6 to 8 people:
170x250 cm
180x250 cm

WHAT TO CHOOSE FOR A ROUND TABLE?
It is around a round table that the conviviality is felt the most! It allows you to avoid the thorny discussion of "who is next to and in front of whom". Indeed, this table shape allows to gather all the guests!

WHAT SHAPE OF TABLECLOTH?
Logic would dictate that we opt for a rectangular tablecloth on a table of the same shape. However, it is possible to break the codes to impress with a table decoration.
For example, a square tablecloth looks great in the middle of a rectangular table, especially for a candlelit dinner or an impromptu breakfast. The square tablecloth also brings a trendy touch to round tables for a modern and offbeat look.
