Of course, the choice of colors should be conditioned not only by personal preferences, but also by the interior of the kitchen. All the furnishings of this room should be kept in a unified style, and if you choose table textiles of contrasting colors, then take care that they are combined with the color of the walls, floor and furniture in the kitchen.

In the choice of fabric, too, you need to take into account not only practicality, but also conformity to the style of the interior. For example, if the kitchen is decorated in a rustic style, then here is the place for waffle towels and linen tablecloths. If you have a kitchen in the classical style, you can pick up cotton napkins and potholes monophonic, in stripes or with an unobtrusive print of cutlery and food. But what style does not accept textiles or costs the necessary minimum, so it's high-tech - in such a kitchen you can not find any cozy tackers or tablecloths at all.

What type of table linen to use and how to choose it
Before we proceed to the selection of table linen, let's see what objects unite this concept. So, the assortment of table linen is quite wide, so we will dwell in more detail on its components.
Tablecloths - this is perhaps one of the main subjects, without which you can not do with the table setting. They make tablecloths of any materials, but the most common are cotton, linen and silk products, which are used for special occasions. When choosing a tablecloth, remember that it must match the size of the table and hanging from all sides at least 30cm. For especially solemn occasions and important receptions use long tablecloths, the edges of which reach almost to the floor. We hope you do not need to be reminded that the tablecloth should be well ironed?

Under the tablecloth you can put a moltone( this is a cover made of soft fabric, which is often placed under the tablecloth), or you can use covers onThe table, which extinguish the ringing of cutlery and protect the table from damage.
If desired, large cloth wipes are placed on top of the tablecloth, usually square in shape with a side length of 80 to 120 cm. These napkins are selected in accordance with the color range of tablecloths and are used for table decor. They can often be seen in restaurants, while in home use they are rare.

But tissue wipes for protecting clothes or wiping your lips, as well as underlay napkins are used more intensively at family celebrations. When choosing a small tissue napkin, you need to take into account the fact that it should be combined in texture and color with a tablecloth, ideally it is better if it is sewn from the same fabric as the tablecloth. Saving your time, you can always buy a set of table linens, consisting of tablecloth and napkins of the same fabric and with the same pattern. When choosing, pay attention to the material, it should be well washed, so that napkins can not be seen dirty stains, so it is better to give preference to linen products.
A little advice - if you want to give the dressed table a smart and neat look, then just fold each napkin and put it on the table next to the cutlery.
About palette napkins, too, you need to say a couple of words - they can be any shape, but most often use rectangular wipes. And the size of one napkin should be such that all the necessary cutlery fit on it and there was still free space.
