It's important to consider the context, as the size of the tablecloth suitable for your table might vary depending on the type of occasion or space.

So, we're going to give you some tips to help you more easily choose the ideal tablecloth for your round table:


  • One of the most important aspects you should consider when choosing is the size. Keep in mind that when you choose your square tablecloth, it will hang longer on some sides of your table.

  • The tablecloth should have a 25 cm drop at the points where it is shorter, and of course, at the corners, you will have more fabric and a greater drop. This measurement is ideal for everyday use or for an informal occasion.

  • But if you want to achieve a more formal look because you're hosting a meeting, lunch, or dinner with guests, we recommend leaving a 30 cm drop for your square tablecloth.

  • And if you have a very special occasion and want your table to look especially elegant, contact us and order a round tablecloth that reaches the floor, with a 75 cm drop.

    This will be the only occasion where we recommend a round tablecloth. It would be the perfect choice, for example, for a wedding's round table.
