Dining tables in Indian homes do a lot of work. They hold breakfast, homework, office calls and festival lunches. With that in mind, MnR Decor has added new hand block prints and an embroidered design to its table covers line, giving families a printed table cover that looks handmade and still copes with daily use. Every piece is 100% cotton, and the full range is on the company's website for anyone who'd rather buy a printed table cover than hunt through shops.
Tablecloths came later. The two founders met at school, and as it happens, their grandparents were friends too. Their first stall was at flea markets, selling cushion covers and runners they had stitched by hand. Finding nice printed fabric that didn’t cost too much was a constant struggle, so eventually they started sketching prints themselves. Those sketches go to artisans who carve them into wooden blocks. Even now, the founders sit with the printer during each run to make sure the colours match, and every block lands in the right spot.
What's in the New Printed Table Cover Range?
Some prints lean traditional, with Indian and Mughal influences. Others are simpler and more modern. The current line-up includes:
● Gul, Kalka, Marigold and Pallavi, all floral or paisley block prints
● Indigo on White, a quiet two-tone option
● The Doll print in green and red, a bright choice for family meals
● Criss-Cross, a clean geometric pattern
● An embroidered cloth with blue-grey and yellow daisies
Each listing shows its own sizes. The Gul print, for instance, comes as a 4-seater (60 x 58 in), 6-seater (92 x 58 in) and 8-seater (108 x 58 in). Prices begin at ₹1,200. Most block prints cost ₹2,000, and the embroidered design is ₹2,400.
Why Buying a Cotton Table Cloth Online From a Small Maker Makes Sense
Synthetic covers slide around, crease badly and feel slightly plasticky under your arms. Cotton doesn't. It breathes, takes colour well and gets softer each time it's washed.
Buying straight from the people who make it helps too. You can zoom right into the product photos and see how the print actually looks. If you’re unsure about a colour or the feel of the fabric, just drop the team a WhatsApp message before you pay. Got a table that’s longer or narrower than usual? They’ll make one to fit. Each piece is made after you order, so expect it in about two weeks, and order early if it’s for a festival.
FAQs
What sizes does a printed table cover come in?
Most prints are available for 4-, 6-, and 8-seater tables. Round, square and extra-long tables can be covered with a custom order.
Can hand block printed tablecloths be machine washed?
They can. Put them on a gentle, cold cycle with a mild detergent and keep them with similar colours. If you have the time, washing by hand will keep the print looking fresh for longer.
How long does delivery take?
Give it around two weeks. Nothing sits in a warehouse, so your tablecloth is made once you place the order.
Can I get a custom design or size?
Sure. Send your table measurements on WhatsApp or by email, along with any print or colour you have in mind. The team will get back to you and let you know what's possible.
