We are asked by many of our friends, surfers and customers for advise and suggestions as to the ideal individual table dressing size and styles for Nottingham Lace Table Cloths . Regretfully and invariably it is usually the individual table size and shape of their table which restricts thoughts and dressing decisions .. .. .. With this upper most in mind we want to provide our friends / customer with alternative “food for thought” (now there’s a PUN! ).
First decision is .. .. .. do we, or do we not, dress the table with a tablecloth ?
It should be remembered that individual table shapes and size are generally of standard sizes which usually is their only a restriction as to the maximum number of guests who can be seated at any one time.
However ! We suggest - the size and shape of the table need NOT DICTATE the style/shape of choice of a Nottingham Lace Tablecloth or dressing. Particularly the larger sized tables
The conventional style for dressing a dining table is to use a tablecloth of similar or greater size than the shape to the dining table, allowing it to overhang on all sides of the table. However, there are a multitude of alternative ways of introducing greater interest, impact and style to your dining table presentation these are particularly useful with the larger size/shaped tables (We offer the full range of machine made Nottingham Lace with dimensions to the MAXIMUM which can be manufactured by those Lace machine)
The most obvious alternative is to dress the table is with a plain or coloured, overhanging “undercloth”. The immediate visual benefit of this, particularly when dressing the table with Nottingham Lace is that your table dressing will instantly highlight and emphasise the individual, exquisite design and craftsmanship within genuine Nottingham Lace Table Cloths





We hope you can consider and use our suggestions to assist in enhancing your own “Dining or Casual” Table settings. However, above all, be brave and a little unconventional. You will probably be most pleasantly surprised.
Please do send us your image and suggestions for decorating your table. We will be most pleased to post them online within our website.
