For high-tech decor, textile accessories are not provided, so you have to do without them. In provence, linen and checkered or striped towels are actual.
3. The miracles in the design of the kitchen can also be the right color combinations.

Curtains

The design of the window opening of the textile should be distinguished by beauty and practical.

Shape of tablecloth

What form the tablecloth will have depends on the type of kitchen table. If the table has angles, that is, a clear rectangular or square shape, then cover it with a tablecloth with the same geometry of tailoring. It’s easier to choose covers for oval and round tables. Here you can use both identical in form tablecloths, and rectangular or square, respectively. Provided that the round table is covered with a square tablecloth, the area of ​​the countertop will need to be covered with additional, precisely matched by its size canvas, of a contrasting color.

Tablecloth size

Go for such textiles in the kitchen as a tablecloth, not knowing the size of the table, at least, strange, so on the eve of a trip to the store, pick up a centimeter and measure:

2. The round table top has a diameter.
3. The oval and rectangular table tops – both length and width.

After that, the length of the “drop” is added to the obtained parameters (the part of the tablecloth that hangs from the table top is called that way). This size can be arbitrary. In the classical version, the length of the “drop” is about 20 centimeters, naturally, on each side of the table. For accuracy, it is better to write down the figures. This will eliminate the need to do repeated measurements, if you accidentally forget them.

What if I can not find the table textiles in the kitchen interior of the required size? Let’s look into the rules of table etiquette. Here it is said that if it is impossible to select the ideal covering for the parameters, the tablecloth is taken in a larger size. How much greater is the matter of taste and stylistic solution of the situation in general.

About color

What color to be a tablecloth depends on the nature of the celebration or the peculiarities of the placement of the table in the room.

Serving textiles

What a feast without napkins. No, not paper, but the most real, fabric, which are based on etiquette standards. Today you can buy such products, as individual sets, and complete with tablecloths.

In the case when you take them along with the tablecloth, in the set of such items there will be only 6.

Textile napkins differ dramatically with the color of tablecloths

Another napkin nuance. It is impossible that the napkins lying on the tablecloth merge with the tablecloth. They must necessarily stand out either in sharp contrast with it, or differing in the tonal ratio. This will allow guests to quickly find the item among the other accessories. And in terms of design it will look good.

Interesting and this option of using textiles in the interior of the kitchen, as a slider. It represents a wide tissue strip, which stands out sharply against the general background of the tablecloth. On this track are placed plates. As the slider is made of waterproof material, it becomes an excellent protection for tablecloths from wine, greasy, coffee and other hard-to-remove stains.
