As the first layer to adorn any carefully-dressed table, a striking tablecloth has the capacity to set the tone of a gathering – formal or fun, summery or festive, muted or vibrant. As the end of the year draws nearer and plans for entertaining at home begin to pick up steam, Design Dispatch gathers a selection of beautiful table linens that will make a stylish (and moderately festive) statement.
Zara Home
As experts of pared-back decoration and elegant design, Zara Home’s newly launched Christmas collection includes a range of table linens, varying from subtle patterns to solid colours, including this cotton tablecloth with hemstitching around the edge, available in red and green.
Le Jacquard Français
The Croisiére Sur Le Nil Palm table linens collection by Le Jacquard Français displays an artistic panoramic image inspired by Egyptian landscapes in soft shades of blue and green which complement the colours of the season.
Ulla Johnson X Cabana
Cabana and fashion designer Ulla Johnson combined their creative forces to design a timeless capsule collection of homeware, which includes a decadent tablecloth featuring wild botanical prints in an earthy colour palette, reminiscent of the beauty of nature throughout the seasons.
The House of Lyria
For Italian textile brand The House of Lyria, the fabric is the statement. In this rustic, coffee-dyed tablecloth woven from a mix of linen, cotton and viscose, rich tones of gold and blue set an elegant scene.
Summerill & Bishop
The table linens of British interiors and decor brand Summerill & Bishop make for striking standalone statements. The ‘Fan Marble’ French linen variety with its bouquet-like formation is a nod to antique Florentine marbling techniques in a kaleidoscope of warm colours.
