Embroidered tablecloths have adorned the tables of Ukrainians since ancient times. In the past, they were also called by the old word «obrus», referring to handwoven, handmade tablecloths. Today they are especially valued, as they are not only beautiful decorations but also a tribute to traditions, while also having a very elegant and luxurious appearance.
You can buy an embroidered tablecloth at the «Galychanka» store. It will become a perfect addition to your interior and a stylish accent in your kitchen, living room, or any other room. It is also a wonderful option for decorating wedding tables.
Choosing an embroidered tablecloth: what should you consider?
Are you decorating your home or planning to change the décor and want to take care of every detail? If you want to buy an embroidered tablecloth, it should match the style of your interior. Do classic and modern elements blend together? For example, a traditional tablecloth with a very intricate pattern and modern designer furniture in a loft style will not always look harmonious.
The colors of the fabric should also harmonize with the interior, as well as with the patterns and prints. It may be worth buying embroidered tablecloths in a Ukrainian style, whose pattern or ornament echoes the appearance of certain items in the room.
Another aspect is often pushed into the background: choosing the correct size of the tablecloth according to the tabletop.
How to choose the right size of an embroidered tablecloth?
Before purchasing, carefully measure the tabletop. Add double the drop length to the table’s dimensions—that is, to both the width and the length. For round tables, you need to add double the drop length to the diameter of the tabletop. In the case of a square table, add double the drop length to the length of each side of the table. As a rule, the fabric overhang should be about 20 cm.
Please note that the fabric overhang should be the same on each side of the table. For example:
- for a tabletop measuring 100 × 200 cm, the tablecloth should be 140 × 240 cm, that is: 100 + 2 × 20 / 200 + 2 × 20;
- for a round tabletop with a diameter of 100 cm, the required diameter of the tablecloth is 140 cm (100 + 2 × 20);
- for a square tabletop measuring 100 × 100 cm, the fabric size should be 140 × 140 cm (100 + 2 × 20 / 100 + 2 × 20).
When choosing the size of the fabric that will hang from the table, you should also consider several additional points:
- the length of the embroidered fabric should reach slightly to the knees. It is worth sitting at the table to check the correct drop length. Fabric that is too long will make it difficult to stand up;
- fabric that is too short will not sit properly on the table, and even a slight shift may create unattractive folds and unevenness.
