All it takes is a few details to transform the atmosphere of a room. To infuse your home with retro English cottage charm, personalize elements of your table linen by adding ruffles!

Add ruffles to your table linen, inspired by the English cottage style.
If you love the soft, muted ambience of English cottages, with their floral prints, natural materials and delicate details, then ruffles are for you. A linen tablecloth edged with a light ruffle immediately evokes a table set for a country tea time, a scalloped placemat recalls the linens of yesteryear, and finely hemmed napkins add a precious touch to your everyday meals.
Our craftsmen create each flounce with precision, playing with the width of the gathers and the fall of the fabric to achieve a harmonious finish to suit your taste.
Ruffles give your table a vintage, retro feel
Ruffles have the magical power to take us back a few decades, to a time when linens were precious, carefully crafted and made to last. A cotton table runner edged with regular pleats, linen napkins with scalloped ruffles or an embroidered and hemmed tablecloth in retro chic style... These details make all the difference and give your home a warm authenticity.
At TILLI, we tailor every creation to your vision: gathered lace ruffles for a vintage effect, discreet gathers in a gingham fabric for a 50s-inspired look, or a flat-pleated finish for a more sophisticated look. ****Everything is possible, as long as you master the finesse of assembly techniques, as our craftsmen do.
Personalize your table linen by playing with materials and ruffle sizes
Whether you're a fan of immaculate white, natural hues or prints, the choice of materials is essential to achieve the desired look. Washed linen, with its slightly wrinkled appearance, is perfect for a country-chic ambience. Thick cotton, on the other hand, is reminiscent of the tablecloths of yesteryear and gives better structure to ruffles. For an even more authentic effect, why not play with contrasts? A ruffled hem in gingham, finely scalloped cotton gauze napkins, a placemat with embroidered edging.
The choice of ruffle is just as important as the fabric.
- The gathered ruffle: generous and ample, it's ideal for a romantic tablecloth or table runner. But it's also possible to create an accent around a napkin with a mini ruffle, measuring no more than a centimeter or two.
- The flat ruffle: more structured, perfect for elegant placemats.
- The scalloped ruffle: a refined detail reminiscent of the linen of yesteryear.
Why call on TILLI artisans to personalize your table linen?
Personalizing your table linen with ruffles isn't just a question of aesthetics, it's also a matter of know-how. Every fabric reacts differently: linen that's too stiff may not fall properly, cotton gauze that's too thin will require delicate hemming to avoid fraying. This is where our craftsmen come in and advise you. They will adapt each finish to the fabric and the desired effect. Each piece is carefully crafted to reflect your personal taste.
Whether it's a family meal, an afternoon snack with friends or a candlelit dinner, your table deserves to look its best. And what could be more personal than personalized linens designed especially for you?
By adding ruffles to your table linen, you create a soft, refined ambience that evokes attention to detail, a love of work well done and the desire to create an interior that reflects you.
