Table linens

Table coverings
The most traditional fabrics used for holiday table linens include organdy, crepe, tulle or even linen or cotton. For a bolder look, embroidered tablecloths and velvet covers can do the trick.

Colors are also a very important factor in creating the right look for your holiday table setting. Each season brings new trends, and this year is no different. This year's top colors include purple and burgundy as well as the traditional reds and greens. Gold and silver are often the colors of choice for table linens and accessories.

You can safely combine any type of classic or modern china, as well as any other accessories you'd like to include. It's important to remember that these colors will easily match colors with silver and white.

Another option is to use a bright colored tablecloth, like blue or red, and cover it with tulle or organdy fabric. It will produce a nice sheer effect.

More festive tablecloth sets are usually available almost anywhere during the holidays. Some come with embroidery or Christmas motifs, others come in various shapes and sizes. If the look you're going for is more of a classic one, tablecloth sets with trimmings, embroidery or skirts that enhance the drape and flow of the fabric are also an option. Brightly colored tablecloths with lines, grids or geometrical designs, as well as a set of solid color china, can also create a festive atmosphere. It is important to remember that the shape of the tablecloth be patterned after the table that it will cover. If a round table will be used, you must use a round tablecloth.
