Tablecloth Sizing Guide

Here are some general tips on the right size for your tablecloth. Try our Tablecloth Finder if you don't want to do all the math yourself!

For formal dining, we suggest a tablecloth which drapes 8 to 12 inches on all sides:

For a more dramatic look, lengthen the drop to 30 or more on each side. This will create a puddle effect on the floor and is ideal for lavish celebrations:

To determine the size you need, measure the length and width (or diameter, if you have a round table) of your table and add twice the desired drop to each figure. When measuring, don't forget any leaves or extensions you may have, as it is common for tables to be extended when entertaining.

Use this general chart of standard tablecloth sizes to see what size table they would fit. (Our Tablecloth Finder does a more precise calculation for you.)
