Cottona has had an Outdoor Dralon fabric in its collection for more than 10 years, available in plain and stripes. This year we have a new luxury fabric for outdoor use: Outdoor Jacquard. This fabric has the same properties as Cottona’s Outdoor Dralon; UV and weather resistant with Teflon treated. However, the appearance of Outdoor Jacquard is much richer, the fabric is somewhat thicker and the jacquard weave creates a subtle shine. Continue reading

Table decoration inspiration – Visit to Maison et object Paris exhibition
Finally, after 2 years, we were able to go to Maison et Object. The most fantastic exhibition when it comes to table decoration, and, a great reason to go to my beloved France. I get so much energy from a day at such an exhibition, from all the people and all the beautiful table decorations for the home. Purchasing is a little tricky this year compared to previous years. Besides the obvious price inflation (due to raw material and transport costs rising) there has also been fewer products developed. Less stock is being produced and that causes longer delivery times. All this aside, we have managed to find a few jewels at the exhibition.
Restaurant design: dinner at home
These are times to really show off our cooking and hosting skills. Eating out might have become a habit of ours, but a dinner at home can be great fun as well. It starts with the anticipation; what’s on the menu? Do we cook it ourselves or do we call in a chef? How do we set the table?
Spring table with Cottona. Mix & match striped and checked natural table linen
It’s springtime again! No change of season makes me happier than when winter turns to spring! For me, 15 degrees, sun and a southerly wind is pure enjoyment. It’s such a great feeling to literally drag winter out of the house. For six months, the wool plaids and dark earthenware settings are replaced by fresh, light colours and materials. This year we’re decking the spring table with striped and checked natural table linen!
A Christmas tablecloth from Cottona transforms Christmas into a party
A tablecloth for Christmas is a veritable mood setter. With it, you are setting the scene for a delightful evening. Whether you are looking for a Christmas tablecloth in a standard colour or in a real Christmas colour such as Christmas green or Christmas red… you are sure to find what you are looking for at Cottona.
Styling is made easy with our large selection of table runners, placemats and serviettes.
This will allow you to create a festive air in no time at all. You can opt for a different colour (a white cloth with red table runners is very festive), or instead for colours from the same palette (the colours taupe in combination with basalt from our linen collection work splendidly together).

Summer table 2018 – Outside dining in style
It’s summer! Is your terrace already summerproof? With a tablecloth from the outdoor collection of Cottona you are ready for the summer season. This collection of tablecloths is UV resistant (not in the sun) and can withstand a shower. In addition, the outdoor tablecloths are provided with a Teflon coating so that moisture and stains do not penetrate directly into the fabric. A tablecloth that you can leave outside all summer long. Ideal.

Easter fun – Which Easter tablecloth will you put on the table?
It is nearly Easter again. I have not yet decided which Easter tablecloth to put on the table. To simplify the choice a bit, I have made mood boards in four different styles, each with a different tablecloth and different Easter decorations. I hope this will make the choice easier. Take a look! Continue reading
Christmas table 2016 – Style inspiration

I am pleased to show you some different styles for setting your Christmas table in style. And for fine recipes for tasty Christmas dishes, I will stick to recommendations. 😉 Continue reading
