- Easy care : a simple wipe with a sponge is all you need on a daily basis; a machine wash will refresh it thoroughly.
- Versatile rectangular shape : perfect for most family tables, fixed or extendable.
- Printed pattern : dresses up the table, structures the eye and highlights the tableware.
- Modern style & Christmas : a tablecloth that can go from festive meals to more everyday use depending on the setting.
- Multi-purpose : suitable for home use, but also for sheltered outdoor use, hotels, receptions, weddings, and end-of-year celebrations.
Material and finish: the waxed look, the comfort of textiles
This rectangular oilclothtablecloth is made of 100% polyester . The fabric was chosen for its durability, longevity, and ability to accommodate a precise print . The finish gives it a "waxed" look that is very practical for everyday use.
- Polyester : a strong, lightweight fiber that does not tear easily and dries quickly after cleaning.
- Waxed effect : the surface limits the absorption of liquids, making it easier to wipe away stains.
- Printed pattern : the modern Christmas-themed decor remains crisp and bright through repeated use.
- Soft drape : unlike rigid plastic tablecloths, polyester retains a nice drape on the sides of the table.
Sizes and placements: finding the right proportion
To ensure a rectangular oilcloth truly enhances your table, it's important to choose the right size. The key is to allow for an overhang of approximately 20 to 30 cm all around the table. Here are a few guidelines:
| Table type | Approximate dimensions | Recommended tablecloth size | Visual effect | Quick tip |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small kitchen table | 70×110 cm | 120×160 cm | Sufficient protection, discreet fall | Ideal for 2 to 4 people on a daily basis. |
| Standard family table | 80–90×140–160 cm | 140×200 cm | A beautifully set table, harmoniously arranged | Perfect for family meals. |
| Large living room table | 90–100×180–200 cm | 140×240 cm | Generous and friendly effect | Ideal for 6 to 8 guests at Christmas. |
| Extendable table | According to extension | 140×260 cm and more | Fallen, always present, even open | Remember to measure the open table. |
| Dessert buffet or table | Variable | Tablecloth longer than it is wide | “Introduction scene” effect | Emphasize the drop in front for serving. |
Blue tip – combine patterns and materials
With a rectangular oilclothtablecloth featuring a printed pattern, opt for simple tableware (white, glass, stoneware) and plain napkins. Add a table runner in a natural material (linen, jute) to soften the graphic look and create a warmer atmosphere.
Modern & Christmas ambiance around the rectangular oilclothtablecloth
The modern style of this tablecloth, combined with a Christmas theme , allows you to create a festive table without going overboard. The printed pattern alone sets the mood; all you need to do is add the accessories.
- For a simple New Year's Eve : white tableware, thin glasses, long candles and a few touches of fir green.
- For a convivial dinner : colourful plates, wooden napkin rings, string lights in the centre.
- For a party buffet : use your rectangular oilcloth on a large table, with the dishes arranged in a line, labels for the guests and some decorations hung above.
Maintenance and longevity
A rectangular oilclothtablecloth should be easy to care for. Here are a few tips to keep it looking beautiful for longer:
- On a daily basis : wipe up stains immediately with a sponge or a soft, slightly damp cloth.
- Regular cleaning : if necessary, machine wash the tablecloth at low or medium temperature, according to the label instructions.
- Drying : let it air dry, on a line or flat, to preserve its shape.
- Ironing : if some creases appear, iron very lightly on the reverse side, at a moderate temperature.
- Storage : Fold the clean and dry tablecloth and store it in a cupboard away from direct light to protect the pattern.
Don't do
Avoid using pure bleach or harsh stain removers, as these could damage the print. Do not scrub the surface with abrasive sponges, and do not wash the rectangular oilclothat excessively high temperatures. Finally, do not leave it outside permanently in the rain: it is designed for indoor or sheltered outdoor use.

It can be used outdoors under shelter (covered terrace, balcony, veranda). However, avoid leaving it permanently exposed to the rain or direct sunlight to preserve the printed design.
Measure your table (length and width), then add 40 to 60 cm to each dimension to obtain a 20 to 30 cm overhang all around. This will give you an attractive and comfortable rectangular oilclothtablecloth for your guests.
