Covering all palettes: Know everything about table covers

A beautiful dining experience can make the day. Spending a great time at the end of the day with your loved one, with shared bouts of laughter over stupid tales. Decorating a dining room most certainly has many components to it. From decor pieces to crockery there are many add-ons. But, a simple, vibrant table cover really sets the foundation for it. 

The purpose of a table cloth or table cover is to protect the surface from any spills and scratches and is an ornamental piece. There are table covers with features like heat protectant, anti-skid, and more.

  • TYPES OF TABLE COVERS:

The table cover is commonly made of cotton, polyester, or poly-coated material which makes it easy to wipe it clean. It also can be made with delicate materials like silk and satin but they largely remain for ornamental purposes. The after-care for such products is also extensive and has to be handled delicately.

Cotton Table Covers

Cotton table covers are the most popular choice for any household. There is a plethora of options in the prints available. The categories of prints are aplenty like ikats, stripes, ethnic motifs, and geometric prints. In any of such prints, it is the color used that matters the most. The quality of the dye directly affects the fade resistance, the color leakage, and also the vibrancy of the design itself.

Pure cotton is a versatile material with a high absorption power. This automatically makes it a durable choice that is widely considered among Indian households. 

Polyester Table Covers

Polyester table covers rarely come in solids. Most of them are printed so as to camouflage the rougher and shinier texture of the cloth. Polyester table covers are the easiest to maintain as you only have to wash them and hang them out to dry.

Linen Table Covers:

If you are looking for an elegant option for your dinner gathering, linen table covers are a no-brainer. Without a doubt, linen is a gorgeous, rich fabric that will add a touch of refinement to your table, but linen does need upkeep to keep it looking its best. You must wash it in cold water using a delicate cycle, and then you must iron the tablecloth on high heat while it is still a little damp.
