I admit that I’ve never been big on tablecloths. I’ve always thought they are more trouble than they’re worth, especially with a toddler at home. I do love placemats because they confine messes to a small, easier-to-clean area — unlike having to wash an entire tablecloth for one unfortunate stain.
That said, I may have to rethink my position with the discovery of these beautiful linens. The Helsinki Organic Tablecloths are absolutely beautiful and feature a lovely damask pattern — and I love damask. In fact, damask is one of the few “traditional” patterns I’d ever let anywhere near my home.
Made of organic cotton, dressing your table in these will instantly transform your dining area from a casual lunch with the kids to a sophisticated, luxurious setting for a grown-up dinner. Add the matching napkins or placemats, possibly in a contrasting color as shown in the photo, along with some great recycled tableware and candles, and you’ve got instant mealtime drama.
Why It’s Green:
- Made of 100% organic cotton
- Colored with low-impact dyes
Price: $94.50-175.50 (price based on size)
