The Benefits of Outdoor Linens

Outdoor linens help you set the mood for a fun dinner with friends or a formal gathering with work colleagues or family members. Quality outdoor table coverings do more than just help you put your best foot forward. Here are some of the main benefits and reasons to use linens on your outdoor table:

• They'll help protect the finish on your outdoor table. Hot plates, dripping wine glasses - they'll mark up a stylish wood table in no time. With the right tablecloth, runner or placemat set, you can protect your table so it always looks great for the next meal.
• Outdoor tablecloths and linens make your meal feel special. Throwing a birthday party, baby shower or just looking to impress your loved ones? Add a pop of colour with a quality tablecloth and you'll elevate your style level at least a few notches.
• Tablecloths, runners and placemats make dining outdoors more comfortable. Hard outdoor tables are designed to be durable, but they're not always comfortable to sit at for long lunches or post-dinner conversation. Add a little softness to your outdoor dining table to make everyone feel right at home.

Styles to Choose From

Give your outdoor table a stunning, designer-inspired style with an assortment of outdoor tablecloths and linens. Here are a few popular options you can choose from:

• Round and rectangular tablecloths. Ideal for most tables, you can find a wide range of colourful patterns, simple styles and plenty of sizes to fit your table.
• Oversized tablecloths. Got an extra-large outdoor table designed to seat your whole crew? Look for oversized outdoor tablecloths so you never come up short when you're putting out your favourite pieces of dinnerware.
• Table runners. Spruce up your table with decorative runners in natural, neutral tones, bold colours, jacquard prints and florals. Pair them with your favourite napkins and placemats or keep it simple with just a runner.
• Napkins and placemats. Make each table setting special with napkins and placemats. Go for a set or mix-and-match to make the most of your favourite tablecloth or runner.
