subject: Beautify Your Home By Using Table Skirts [print this page] A table skirt has two purposes; one is to protect the surface of the table from scratch, and the other is to boost the appearance of a room and the table itself. Use skirted tables to beautify your living room, your dining room, your bedroom, and even your toilet and bath. The quality of the fabric should not always be a factor provided that you can create something interesting out of it.
While its okay to leave your bedside table or nightstand bare, its always often a good idea to cover it up with a table cloth. The skirt will also serve as a cover at the sides to hide books and magazines. Meanwhile, fill a certain space in the living room by placing a skirted table next to the chair or sofa.
Make mealtimes even more interesting by using table skirts for the dining table. See to it that the chairs are set at a good distance from the table so that the table skirt will drop directly to the floor. If you decide to use the table skirt for a long time, consider using a glass tabletop to prevent the cloth from getting scratched or damaged.
Youll also going to need a functional table in a busy area such as the hallway. Cover it with a colorful cloth and place a protective glass on top of it. Use the table to hold decorative items such as a flower vase or other important things on a busy day such as your keys, your phone, and even some of your mails.
When choosing a table, always take the size and the height into consideration. Ideally, a table should not exceed thirty inches in height, or, use the main furniture beside it as your basis. For example, side tables in the living room should be level to the arm of the sofa or chairs. In the same manner, the elevation of the bedside table should be similar to that of the mattress.
Table skirts are effective ways to hide the true nature of a table. It doesnt matter whether the table is old or new because its going to be covered with the cloth anyway. Dont hesitate to use secondary items such as vases and picture frames to accessorize tables.
