You can set the tone for your table with table napkins, placemats and/or table cloths. While classical white lends formality to any occasion, distinctive patterns and colours can compliment your everyday and formal tableware.

Most table cloths are made of linen or cotton (damask and jacquard refer to the weave). A table cloth should drop no more than 20 cm on all sides.

Table runners vary widely in size shape and material from linen and cotton to silk. We have an extensive range of table cloths and runners sourced from France, England, Italy, Portugal and Vietnam.

The Bay Tree's pure linen and lint free tea towels are perfect for all your glassware. They come in both standard and oversize. We also stock Le Jacquard Francais cotton tea towels which are long wearing and incorporate the latest designer colours.

Our beautiful white waffle weave tea towels have superior absorbency and can readily double as hand towels for you and your guests.

We also recommend placemats for both casual and formal dining as they are easy to maintain and quickly create a new look for your tabletop.

Every kitchen requires a range of oven mitts, gloves and aprons. Select easy to wash, flameproof materials.

We also have in store a wide range of paper napkins in cocktail, luncheon and dinner sizes.
