Table Linen

There is something truly special about linen tableware. It brings charm and personality to your dining table, especially when you get creative with your styling.

For a stunning contrast, why not layer a light-coloured tablecloth with darker-toned napkins, placemats, or a table runner? Alternatively, a colourful plain tablecloth makes the perfect backdrop for patterned, striped, or embroidered linen accessories.

If you love to go all-out with styling, try a table centrepiece like fresh flowers, glowing candles or a cherished ornament. Our guide to tablescaping is full of ideas to help you style your linens for every occasion.

Cotton and linen are both fabulous fabrics for your table, which is why we offer both.

Cotton is incredibly absorbent, protecting your table from spills and stains. Plus, it’s as easy as anything to wash.

Linen gives your table a gorgeous, stylish drape. It’s also durable, so it can last you absolutely ages.

If you can’t decide, try a bit of both. Our linen-cotton blends have a beautiful linen texture while being super soft and simple to wash.

Mealtimes can be messy, so it’s only natural that your table linens will need a little TLC occasionally.

First, clean your stains by rubbing in laundry detergent or an enzyme-based stain remover.

Then, pop your table linens on a permanent press cycle wash with cold water and a gentle detergent. You can also wash by hand, if you prefer, in a tub with lukewarm water and gentle detergent.

Our tablecloth cleaning guide is a treasure trove of tips to get your linen looking lovely. Check out our table linen care guide for more detailed advice on maintaining the quality and beauty of your linens over time.

Whether you're setting up for an intimate dinner or a festive family gathering, styling your table is all about personal touches and practical elegance. Layer tablecloths, table runners, and placemats to add depth and interest.
