Rectangular oilcloth tablecloth: practical, waterproof and elegant for everyday use
The rectangular oilcloth tablecloth is the perfect companion for family tables: it effectively protects the tabletop while adding a touch of elegant style. Thanks to its 100% polyester material and waterproof finish, it resists spilled drinks, splashes, and grease stains without compromising its aesthetic appeal. Its rectangular shape fits perfectly on most standard tables, from the kitchen to the dining room.
With its striped pattern and classic style , this rectangular oilcloth tablecloth creates a timeless setting for everyday meals as well as special occasions. It can be laid on the table in seconds, and a simple wipe with a sponge is all it takes after the meal, leaving you with a clean, crisp surface ready for the next course. At home, outdoors in a sheltered spot, at a wedding , or at a party , it offers the perfect balance of practicality and elegance.
Green tip – protect without hiding the style of the room
Pair your rectangular oilcloth tablecloth with wooden or metal chairs already in the room. The stripes add structure to the table, while the natural materials of the furniture maintain a warm feel. Add a few plain napkins to complete the look.
Why choose a rectangular oilcloth tablecloth?
- Waterproof : water beads on the surface, making it easy to wipe up spilled drinks.
- Grease-resistant : the oilproof finish limits the adhesion of greasy stains (sauces, oil, butter).
- Versatile rectangular shape : perfect for classic family tables, whether fixed or extendable.
- Striped pattern : visually structures the table, refines or expands the perception of space depending on the direction of the stripes.
- Classic style : a design that is easy to match with simple or more sophisticated tableware.
- Multi-purpose : suitable for home, sheltered outdoor areas, weddings , parties and convivial meals.
Material and finish: oilcloth
This rectangular oilcloth tablecloth is made of 100% polyester , a fiber chosen for its durability and ease of care. The fabric is coated with an oilcloth-type finish that provides waterproof and stain-resistant protection while maintaining a pleasing drape.
- Polyester : a strong fiber that wrinkles very little and dries quickly after cleaning.
- Waterproof treatment : limits liquid absorption, ideal for families with children.
- Protection against grease stains : sauces and oils wipe off much more easily than on a classic textile tablecloth.
- Striped pattern : regular stripes provide visual rhythm and better camouflage small everyday marks.
Sizes and placement: how to dress your table
For a rectangular oilcloth tablecloth to be both aesthetically pleasing and comfortable, it's advisable to allow for an overhang of approximately 20 to 30 cm all around the table. Here are a few guidelines to help you choose:
| Table type | Approximate dimensions | Recommended tablecloth size | Visual effect | Quick tip |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small kitchen table | 70×110 cm | 120×160 cm | It fell discreetly, the table was well protected. | Ideal for 2 to 4 guests on a daily basis. |
| Rectangular family table | 80–90×140–160 cm | 140×200 cm | Harmonious proportions, regular drape | Perfect for family meals. |
| Large living room table | 90–100×180–200 cm | 140×240 cm | A generous effect, a "reception table" look | Suitable for 6–8 people. |
| Sheltered outdoor table | According to the model | Measure and add 40–60 cm | Full protection, comfortable fit | Ideal for barbecues and summer meals. |
| Buffet/Party Table | Significant length | Tablecloth longer than the table | A striking decorative effect on the facade | Emphasize the drape on the guests' side. |
Blue tip – play with the direction of the stripes
On a rectangular oilcloth tablecloth , place the stripes lengthwise to visually lengthen the table, or widthwise to make it appear more spacious. Then adjust the tableware and centerpiece accordingly.
Possible atmospheres with the rectangular oilcloth tablecloth

- In sheltered outdoor areas : on a covered terrace or balcony table, the rectangular oilcloth tablecloth can withstand small drinking incidents and can be cleaned in one go.
- For a wedding : in a neutral and striped version, it serves as a practical base for a buffet, a children's corner or a dessert table.
- For a party : ideal for birthdays or convivial meals, where you want to limit the stress of stains while keeping a well-dressed table.
Maintenance and longevity
The strength of a rectangular oilcloth tablecloth lies in its ease of care. A few simple steps are all it takes to keep it looking beautiful for longer:
- After each meal : wipe the surface with a sponge or soft, slightly damp cloth.
- For stubborn stains : use a little mild soap, rinse by patting and then dry with a clean cloth.
- Drying : Allow the tablecloth to air dry before folding or storing it.
- Storage : Fold it clean and dry, away from direct light, to preserve the colors.
