Choosing the Perfect Color Tablecloth
"The best color in the whole world is the one that looks good on you." - Coco Chanel
When we think of color, we often imagine the latest fashion trends, the perfect shade of lipstick, or even the Pantone Color of the Year. But Coco Chanel’s iconic quote about color reminds us that the best color isn’t just about what's popular or trendy—it’s about what works for you. And that sentiment rings true when it comes to decorating your home, especially in spaces like your dining room. Just as you choose colors that make you feel confident and radiant in your wardrobe, your dining space can benefit from color choices that make you feel comfortable, inspired, and truly at home. After all, your dining room is where memories are made, meals are shared, and conversations unfold. So why not surround yourself with colors that look good on you—literally and figuratively?
Color and Dining: Why It Matters
Color isn’t just an aesthetic choice; it influences our moods, our energy, and even our appetite. For example, warm tones like rich reds, vibrant pinks and oranges can stimulate conversation and appetite, while soft blues and greens encourage calm and relaxation. When it comes to your tablecloth, the color you choose can set the tone for your entire dining experience. Imagine a cozy family dinner under a warm, amber-toned tablecloth, or a breezy brunch under a cool, pale blue fabric. The right color can transform your space and elevate your dining experience.
Finding the Perfect Tablecloth for Your Dining Room
At Pomegranate, we’re inspired by color every day, and our hand-block printed tablecloths reflect this passion. Whether you're hosting a casual dinner party or an inspired Easter brunch, there’s a tablecloth that perfectly complements your style.
Here are a few tips to help you choose a tablecloth that looks good on you—and on your dining table:
1. Match the Mood with Color
Think about the kind of vibe you want to create. For an intimate, relaxed dinner, soft pastels or neutrals can offer a serene atmosphere. For a lively celebration, bold, vibrant colors can add warmth and excitement to the room.
2. Consider the Overall Palette of Your Dining Room
If your dining room is filled with earthy tones and rustic charm, a tablecloth in a natural color palette—such as persimmon, ochre, or verdant—can seamlessly blend into the space. For more modern interiors, choose contrasting colors like navy or aqua to make a bold statement. Think of your tablecloth as a way to complete the story of your dining room’s decor.
3. Complement Your Tableware
Don’t forget the color of your plates, glassware, and serving pieces. If you have patterned dishes, go for a simple, one-color tablecloth that lets your tableware shine. On the other hand, if your table settings are more minimalist, a hand-block printed tablecloth with a bold floral or geometric designs can add texture and visual interest.
4. Seasonal Inspiration
Just like the changing seasons inspire us to update our wardrobe, they also offer fresh ideas for colorful tablecloths. In the warmer months, light and airy colors like soft blues, whites, and pastel greens are perfect for an alfresco dinner. During the colder months, deeper hues such as chocolate brown, burnt orange, or rich gold add warmth and coziness to your dining space.At Pomegranate, we’re constantly inspired by the beauty and impact of color. Our hand-block printed colorful tablecloths and other table linens and accessories are designed to bring that inspiration to your home. Whether you're setting the table for an everyday meal or hosting a special celebration, we hope our tablecloths, napkins, table runners, placemats and kitchen linens help you create memorable moments and add a personal touch to your dining space.
When it comes to color, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. The best color is the one that makes you feel at home and enhances your dining experience. As Coco Chanel wisely said, the best color is the one that looks good on you—whether it’s the color that complements your skin tone or the shade that suits your dining room’s personality.
So, next time you choose a colorful tablecloth for your home, remember to let the color speak to you—and make your dining room a reflection of your own personal style. Ready to add some color to your dining room? Explore our collection of colorful, hand-block printed table linens.
