Matching Napkins to Your Tablecloth

When choosing napkins and a tablecloth for an event—whether it’s a fancy affair or just a casual gathering—you should consider the colors carefully. Your napkins and tablecloth don’t have to match in color for an attractive look and feel, but there should be a cohesive décor and overall ambiance.

Choosing Your Napkin and Tablecloth Colors

Selecting the right napkin and tablecloth colors isn’t simply about finding the right hues or tones that match your theme. You must choose colors that work well together and can bring the room together neatly.

Here are a few tips to guide you in the right direction:

Avoid Using the Same Color for Your Napkins and Tablecloth

If you want visual interest, don’t choose the same color for your napkins and tablecloth. Rather choose complementary colors like blue and red.

Match the Color Brightness and Depth

It’s important that you choose similar color intensities to keep the colors unified. Don’t match dark or deep hues with light hues.

Use Interesting Colors

Don’t be afraid to stray away from "normal" colors and go for something interesting. White doesn’t have to be your only choice.

Consider the Rest of the Space

Besides considering the other decorations that will be placed on the table, such as table runners or trivets, the rest of the room or area’s colors should also be considered to ensure the colors don’t clash.

Be Creative With Your Napkins and Tablecloth Selection

Matching your napkins to your tablecloth is better done with different colors. The colors should be complementary and interesting, and you can even add something bold, like a placemat to create an exciting atmosphere at the table.
