Linen tablecloth can be the perfect quality fabric to use when sprucing up a table. It is elegant, hard wearing and makes even the simple designs look great – but it all depends on which colour you decide to choose. Whether you are decorating a wedding venue or a basic event reception, the linen tablecloth colours can be the key aspect in how well it all looks.
The reason why colours are so important on linen tablecloth is because tables are so predominant in a venue. A table will be roughly 6 foot (at least) so the cloth becomes a very important factor in maintaining the right look. Below are a couple of tips to help you choose the right linen tablecloth colours.
Theme
One of the most important factors in determining the right colours for a venue can be the theme. Are the decorations for a classic wedding, or for a party celebration? If the reception is to be decorated in bright colours, then it is best to use a complimentary colour to the main one. For example, if the main decorations in a venue are gold, then consider choosing red as the colour for the linen tablecloth.
Although the tablecloths will be one of the main focal points, you don’t want them to stand out. Make sure that the colour you choose doesn’t conflict too heavily with anything else.
The Classics
If you really aren’t sure which colour to choose for your linen tablecloth, then try considering some of the tried and tested classics. If the event is going to be a candle lit event, consider dark colours such as browns, purples and blacks. On the other hand, if the event will be well lit, then opt for lighter alternatives such as whites, reds and oranges.
Play it Safe
When it doubt, use a soft colour that will go well with any other piece. Whites and other light colours can go perfectly no matter what the occasion, so if you are unsure then play it safe.
Things to Remember
Linen tablecloth can look great in a whole range of different colours, but you should remember not to overdo it with patterns. For elegant events try keeping the designs as simplistic as possible (with no pattern at all in most cases). If the event is a big bright party, then even then you should not go crazy with the designs. A tablecloth is just the base of a table, and it can be made to look special by the other things, such as linen napkins and cutlery.
When selecting colours, be sure to plan the tablecloth well in advance. It is much easier to select additional decorative items when you have already secured your chosen linen tablecloth. The main colours of the event should be set out before purchasing any decorations, but be careful not to purchase something you may hate come the day of the event. Plan well in advance to ensure the day goes as smoothly as possible.
