Napkins to impress your guests
Cloth napkins are perfect for both everyday use and festive occasions, and make a wonderful alternative to conventional paper napkins. So add a little something extra to your table setting with cloth napkins.
Napkins in many colours and patterns
Looking for a new set of napkins for your table setting? Then you’ve come to the right place. Here at Rosendahl.com, we offer a wide range of cloth napkins that can help take your well-arranged table setting to the next level.
On this page you’ll find napkins in many colours, from red and green to beautiful dark blue. We have jacquard-woven napkins, where a beautiful pattern is woven directly into the fabric itself. We also offer a selection of cotton napkins in a Christmas pattern, as well as damask and linen napkins in organic cotton. All of our cloth napkins come in the classic dimensions of 45 x 45 cm and are designed to coordinate with tablecloths and placemats in our range. So if you need anything else for your table setting, we recommend that you start looking for what you need right here.
Choosing the right napkins
When choosing napkins, it’s a good idea to consider whether they match your tablecloth or placemats. By ensuring you have a coherent look with colours that complement each other, you can create a fantastic tablescape. For example, if you’re looking for napkins that can be used for anything from birthdays to Christmas Eve, it’s a good idea to choose designs in a neutral colour that go well with a white or neutral tablecloth. If you're looking for napkins that you only plan to use for Christmas or Easter, we have options for that as well. Just remember to consider the colour of your new napkins. Setting the table with a red tablecloth and white napkins will create a more harmonious and dynamic look than turquoise napkins on a red tablecloth. The colours mean a lot.
Advantages of cloth napkins
The decorative napkin is an important element in your table setting, whether you're setting the table for Christmas Eve, a birthday or a christening. Of course, the napkin also has a practical function, particularly the linen napkin. Because a linen napkin is reusable, you don't have to worry about waste. It's also more durable as it’s made of fabric. Cloth napkins typically measure 45 x 45 cm, so they can cover a large part of your clothing if you place one on your lap during the meal. You’ll appreciate this if you're attending a wedding, confirmation or other big party in your best suit or fanciest dress. This is one occasion where you really don't want to get stains on your clothes. A linen napkin also absorbs more than a paper one, which quickly gets soaked. Plus, it has a more exclusive look when folded beautifully on the table. Using cloth napkins has many benefits.
Napkins for parties and holidays
Cloth napkins can add colour, texture and patterns to your party table, and your guests are bound to be impressed if you let yourself be inspired by the elegant napkins on this page. Our napkin designs are suitable for both everyday use and parties. They come in classic Nordic colours inspired by nature and are easy to combine with most tablecloths. If you’re looking for Christmas napkins, we also carry designs in a variety of classic yuletide colours, so you can choose your favourite. You can also get patterned festive napkins that you can combine with our Christmas tableware and a beautiful Christmas tablecloth. This will allow you to create a fantastic Christmas table that will impress your guests and let the festive food shine.
Set a magnificent table
Need to set the table for a big dinner party? Then you can find some good tips on this page. First, choose your favourite dinnerware and find some matching cutlery. For fine occasions, it's customary to choose dinnerware in light tones and then add colour with a tablecloth, decorations or napkins. Next, add your glasses and place them to the right of your plate. The knife and fork are traditionally placed on either side of the plate, but you can also choose to place them together on the right side of the plate. The best way to create that 'wow' factor is by adding a beautiful napkin, which can either be folded a little randomly with a napkin ring or ribbon, or folded more neatly for a stylish look. It all depends on the expression you’re going for. Adding objects from nature to your table setting is very much in fashion. So you might like to decorate the napkin with a single small twig or a few strands of straw for a soft and elegant look. Sprinkle some shells or dried flowers onto the table to bring some of the countryside into the setting. To complete your table setting, it deserves a beautiful bouquet of flowers – preferably in the same colour palette as your tablecloth or cloth napkins. Place small bouquets around the table and you’re ready to invite your guests to take their seats.
Beautiful folded napkins for a dinner party
Is your Christmas or New Year's Eve table the finishing touch away from being perfect? Then consider decorating it with beautiful napkins and perhaps folding them in a special, elegant way. It doesn't need to be complicated, yet with the right expression folded napkins can help to elevate the entire table setting. Depending on the size and design of the napkin, you can use a fold like the Japanese fan to create a classic table setting, or you can fold it into a cone for a Nordic and minimalistic style. However you choose to fold your napkin, it will add personality and style to your table. Depending on its shade, it can also add a bright pop of colour.
There are lots of different ways to fold your napkin to achieve a professional look. The seashell is one of the easiest to make, so it’s a good idea to try that first and then take it from there. You'll need a paper or cloth napkin. Fold it into a triangle. Then fold the whole napkin into pleats. When you’re done, fold the napkin in half and you’ll have your seashell. If you’re going to have a big dinner party, such as a christening, wedding or confirmation, it’s a good idea to choose one of the easier napkin folds to avoid spending hours getting it ready. It can quickly take longer than you expected.
Use a napkin ring
Napkins can be folded in many ways. If you'd like to give a slightly different expression, consider using a napkin ring. This is an incredibly easy way to create an exclusive and considered look with your cloth napkin. The napkin ring holds your napkin in place and makes it easy for you to arrange the napkin neatly on the table or on top of the plate. It’s also a very light, practical and elegant way to avoid having to fold 50 napkins at weddings or confirmations. You can buy the napkin ring, which is available in a wealth of different materials, from leather to steel. Alternatively, you can make your own with foil, a strong thread or wire and then decorate it with fresh flowers from the meadow. You can also make sure that they match the flowers on the table for a unified look.
