Trendspotting: Fitted Table Skirts
January 26, 2011 in Bedroom, Chic, Classic, Hallway/Entry, Hottest Designers, Living room
I couldn’t help but notice the emerging trend of the fitted tablecloth, or skirt as I prefer to call it. My favorite style is the ones that involve a glass top, it looks so elegant! The room above is designed by Lori Dennis, you can see more of this home in this previous post =)

This is the image that sparked my interest in the fitted table skirt. It is from Pottery Barn of course. I just love the chocolate color of this tablecloth. Yum!
*
A closer look. The top looks to be plexiglas?
*
Wisteria is also on the fitted table skirt bandwagon. Doesn’t it look great in this beautiful gray and blue bedroom?
*
The all-purpose table, Linen table skirt and beveled glass top are sold separate, but they sure look great together.
*
The best thing about the fitted table skirt? It doesn’t matter what the table underneath looks like!
*
Phoebe Howard uses the fitted table skirt in this beautiful traditional hallway.
*
This glamorous vanity featured in Country Living is also “wearing ” a beautiful skirt.
*
Jan Showers frequently uses the fitted table skirt in her wonderful designs too.
*
This ad for Black & Spiro Interior Design proves that the fitted table skirt suits all styles. I love it!

So what’s your opinion of the fitted table skirt? Love or hate? Or undecided maybe?

Tailored is key here. I think everything in ones home should be tailored and especially tailored to fit them.

I always wanted a fitted skirt vanity to put my makeup on when I was a little girl. So pretty and feminine!

I love them, those linen ones are perfect and your right…..in this time of up-cycling this is the perfect way to keep your old furniture and give it a new look.
Love your blog, I always enjoy your posts…XK

I love the Wisteria one, how smart is that to hide a little bar under the table skirt, what a great idea! And the Black and Spiro ad, how perfect for Australia Day! As always tons of inspiration! Thanks so much Linda!

I hadn’t really given fitted table skirts much thought before I read your post. But now I’m thinking I like the look – especially the skirt from Wisteria :-)

I definitely like this trend, the last photo just makes me weak in the knees!! I think with the right clean-lines and an awesome fabric, this actually can give quite modern vibe!!

Table skirting can be used for home decorative purposes they also can be used for much more. If hosting an event, the right table skirt can make your presentation even more attractive. The flexibility of table skirting makes it ideal for any occasion.
