Table Skirts and Floor-Length Tablecloths

A round table covered with a floor-length tablecloth. The tablecloth is printed or plain cotton, draped from the tabletop all the way to the floor, completely covering the table legs, with a slight pooling at the hem; a smaller square overlay tablecloth, different in color and pattern but in the same color family, might be placed on top. On the table are a lamp, several photo frames, and a stack of books. Avoid: having the tablecloth too short to expose the table legs, using a transparent glass tabletop, using a plain single-layer tablecloth, clearing the tabletop of all decorations.

一張蓋著落地桌布的圓桌。桌布是印花或素色的棉布,從桌面一路垂到地板完全遮住桌腳,下襬堆積一點;上面可能還鋪著一塊較小的方形上桌布,顏色與圖案不同但同色系。桌上放著一盞檯燈、幾個相框與一疊書。避免:讓桌布短到露出桌腳、使用透明的玻璃桌面、使用素面單層的桌布、把桌面清空沒有陳設。
