With the summer season upon us, here at Laura’s Beau we have put together our favourite summery tablecloths for our gardens and home! These look good to either liven up your kitchen, or to put on an outside table when having a BBQ!
Our number one choice is of course, our William Morris Lily fabric, consisting of bunches of wildflowers such as bluebells and daisies, this is perfect for summer! Some our tablecloths come in both cotton and a PVC coated fabric- the PVC is perfect for when you are dining outside!
Our Ribbons & Roses fabric is also perfect for the summer months, it is an exclusive design from Laura’s Beau, from our Late 1800 to Early 1900 French archive. The design holds an element of vintage yet it has a moden edge, the French vibe is extremely evident looking at the design.
Exclusively designed by Laura’s Beau, our Fleur design would also look lovely during the summer months. Our inspiration when creating Fleur were grand French country houses, which we feel we achieved with the beautiful white background with blue design. The placemats for these tablecloths are also wonderful- the pattern is reversed on these with a blue background with white trailing flowers- this creates a wonderful contrast when on your table!
Our licensed William Morris Merton Blue tablecloths would also be perfect for the summer season, with the blue and white floral design being timeless since Morris designed it in 1888. With this tablecloth you can give your summer parties some history, whilst keeping it modern and bright with the beautiful blue colour in the fabric. This looks wonderful in the PVC tablecloths too, and is a great alternative for a cotton tablecloth when you are having a party and don’t want to risk stains on your cotton tablecloth!
Our final summer tablecloth choice would be our Lavender design, an exclusive Laura’s Beau design it evokes the feeling of summer with the pattern reminicent of an English lavender field.
Whilst these fabrics are our top summer picks- please do check out all our other designs on our website. To match the tablecloth you could also check out the matching placemats, napkins and aprons to complete your summer dinner parties!

Trends may come and go, but a beautiful print — whether it’s one of our own original florals or a classic William Morris design — will always be in style 🫶 This is our Jean design that we sell as fabric by the meter and fat quarters 🪡 It’s an exclusive design from our French archive so you won’t find it elsewhere! Beautiful on it’s own or in a quilt complimenting other colours, we absolutely adore this pattern 💕
