Heather Taylor Home

The Heather Taylor Home collection features designer table linens, including gingham tablecloths, plaid tablecloths, striped tablecloths, coordinating cloth napkins, and fabric bows. The woven cotton pieces come in a wide range of colors and patterns made to mix, match, and layer across seasons and celebrations.

For a standard 6 foot rectangular table, a 60 by 120 inch tablecloth gives a relaxed drop on all sides, and an 8 foot table works best with a 60 by 144 inch cloth. For round tables, a 90 inch round suits a 48 to 60 inch table, while a 120 inch round drapes a 60 inch round table to the floor. Measure your tabletop, then add 16 to 24 inches to the length and width for the drop you prefer.

The simplest elegant fold is to lay the napkin flat, fold it in half into a rectangle, fold it in half again into a square, then fold it into a triangle or thirds to rest under the fork or on the plate. For a fuller look, gather the napkin loosely inside a glass or tie it with one of the collection's fabric bows. Cloth napkins press easily, so a quick steam before guests arrive keeps every fold crisp.
