Accessory of the week: Table cloths

With this year’s trends of shabby chic and minimalism, table cloths have been put on the style back-burner.

Now that spring is finally here, a new breed of bright, fresh table cloths are ready to make a comeback. No laminated gingham here, just natural cottons and linens to suit the season’s trends. Covering your table is a great way to brighten up a room and protect your shabby chic table from getting any shabbier.
