Yes, they’re made to last. But they’re also made to be used — spaghetti splashes and all.

Linen is one of the oldest, strongest natural fibres on earth — which means your tablecloth doesn’t need to be treated like a delicate flower. In fact, at Nic Brittin, we believe in linens that get better with age. The more you use and wash them, the softer and more beautiful they become.

Here’s how to keep your heirloom linens looking their best for years (and dinners) to come.

It’s not just a table. It’s a stage. Here’s how to dress it like one.

A well-laid table is like a beautifully styled outfit. Each layer adds dimension, richness, and personality. Whether you’re planning a summer garden lunch, a Sunday roast, or a twinkling winter dinner, layering your table linens is the secret to creating something truly special.

Here’s how to do it — the Nic Brittin way.

From Roman feasts to family suppers — why tablecloths are far more than fabric.

Long before the fork became standard, before napkins were folded like birds, before we started Instagramming our Sunday lunches — there was the tablecloth.

If you’ve ever stood in front of a dining table, tape measure in one hand, furrowed brow in the other, wondering “what size tablecloth do I need?” — this is for you.

Choosing the right size is surprisingly easy once you know a few key things: your table’s dimensions, how much drop you’d like, and the look you’re going for (casual? dramatic? somewhere in between?).

Let’s break it down.

Because a beautiful table isn’t about showing off — it’s about showing up.

When people remember a dinner, it’s rarely the starter they talk about.

They remember how it felt to sit at your table. The laughter, the thoughtfulness, the care you took to make the evening feel a little bit magical.

Setting a beautiful table is one of the simplest ways to say: you matter to me.

Here are 10 styling ideas that will help you do just that — no stress, no perfection required.

Because heirlooms aren’t precious if they’re too precious to use.

There’s a certain myth around linen — that it’s fussy, high-maintenance, or needs dry cleaning. Not true.

Linen is one of the most resilient, forgiving, and naturally beautiful fabrics out there. In fact, the more you use it, the better it gets.

One table, endless moods — here’s how to make your cloth work all year round.

A good tablecloth should feel like your favourite coat: timeless, beautifully made, and ready for any occasion. The truth is, you don’t need dozens of tablecloths. Just one or two that you love — and a few thoughtful ways to style them.

Whether it’s Easter lunch, a summer garden feast, or Christmas dinner with the in-laws, here’s how to make your tablecloth work beautifully, season after season.

Because the best memories are made around the table — and they deserve a stage.

If you’ve ever hosted a meal that turned into a moment — the kind you didn’t want to end — you’ll understand why a beautiful table matters. Not because it’s “fancy,” but because it says, this is worth celebrating.

Because your table deserves better than something you’d find at the back of a drawer.

When it comes to tablecloths, the fabric makes all the difference. It affects everything — from how your table feels to how your guests respond, to whether it ends up passed down or passed over.

Your complete guide to tablecloth sizing — from cosy round tables to generous family feasts.

If you’ve ever wondered, “What size tablecloth do I need for my table?” — you’re not alone. It’s one of the most common questions we get, and for good reason: the right size can transform a table from “meh” to magical.

There’s something deliciously nostalgic about a garden party. Maybe it’s the dappled sunlight filtering through trees, the clink of glasses under a summer sky, or the heady scent of roses mingling with grilled peaches and herbs. Whatever the magic is, the secret lies in the details—and we’re here to help you get them just right.

Last week, I found myself head over heels for something I didn’t expect: the windows that aren’t really windows, and the shutters that never open.

Easter isn’t about perfection—it’s about people. Don’t worry if your napkins aren’t folded like swans or if the potatoes are a little late. A truly beautiful table is one that invites people to linger, laugh, and pass the bread twice.

Part of my 2025 blueprint is to practice photographing my own still life imagery. Working with chefs and food stylists, we have BIG plans for our imagery and like all modest artists I went straight to my carefully curated Pinterest board of Irving Penns still life for inspiration. (This is clearly how my first soiree into food photography will look)
