Summer Favourites: 5 Oilcloth Tablecloths Customers Are Loving This Season

Summer has a lovely way of moving life outdoors.  The kettle goes on, the back door stays open, and suddenly the garden table becomes the place for lunch, drinks, snacks, crafts and family get-togethers.

Because of this, oilcloth tablecloths really come into their own during the warmer months.  They brighten up tired garden tables, protect outdoor surfaces and make clearing up quick and easy. Whether you are planning a BBQ, a quiet breakfast outside or an evening meal in the sunshine, a wipe-clean tablecloth makes outdoor dining feel effortless.

At Only Oilcloths, we are proud to be The Oilcloth Experts.  Not only do we sell oilcloth, we make it too, in our own factory on the beautiful Fylde Coast in Lancashire.  This means we know exactly what makes a good oilcloth tablecloth: lovely designs, practical finishes and sizes that work for real tables.

So, which designs are customers loving this summer? Here are five seasonal favourites that are flying out this season.

1. A Cheerful Spot for Everyday Summer Tables – Spot on Duckegg

Spotty oilcloths are always popular, and it is easy to see why. They look fresh, friendly and timeless, whether you use them in the kitchen, garden or dining room. A spotty oilcloth tablecloth works beautifully for family breakfasts, children’s snacks, BBQs and sunny lunches outside. You can keep it relaxed for everyday use, or dress it up with flowers, pretty crockery and napkins.

 

2. A Soft Spot Design for a Calm, Classic Look – Just Dotty Dove

Some spot designs feel bright and playful, while others offer a softer, more understated style. These gentler colourways suit customers who want pattern without making the table feel too busy. They work especially well with neutral kitchens, wooden garden furniture and simple outdoor table settings. As a result, they give your table a fresh look while still feeling easy to live with.

 

3. A Statement Spot for a Fun Summer Statement – Just Dotty Sage

For customers who love a bit more personality, a satement spotty oilcloth makes a brilliant summer choice. It adds instant charm to a tired garden table and brings a cheerful feel to picnics, patio lunches and family get-togethers. Because spots never really go out of style, they also make a practical choice that works season after season.

 

4. A Fresh Stripe for Easy Outdoor Dining – Pencil Stripe Sand

Striped oilcloths bring a clean, relaxed look to summer tables. They feel crisp, simple and stylish, making them perfect for garden lunches, seaside-inspired spaces and bright kitchen tables. A striped oilcloth tablecloth pairs beautifully with plain plates, glassware, salad bowls and jugs of lemonade. It is a great choice if you want something smart but not too fussy.

 

5. A Scandi-Inspired Design for Modern Summer Style – Bergen Duckegg

Scandi-style oilcloths are perfect for customers who prefer a modern, simple look. These designs often feel clean, fresh and slightly playful, with patterns that brighten the table without overwhelming the room. They work well in contemporary kitchens, garden rooms and outdoor dining spaces. Add simple tableware, natural textures and a few flowers, and you have an easy summer table that feels stylish and practical.

All of our oilcloths are coated with a child-friendly, food-safe coating, making them ideal for meals, snacks, baking, crafts and outdoor dining. Spills, crumbs and sticky marks are easy to manage — simply wipe clean and carry on.

We also cut every oilcloth tablecloth to order in a wide range of sizes. Plus, we can add rounded corners for a softer finish, a parasol hole for garden tables, or cut a circle or oval to suit your table shape. And if your tablecloth moves in the breeze, our tablecloth clips help keep everything neatly in place.

So, while the weather is still on our side, now is the perfect time to refresh your table. Choose one of this season’s bestselling oilcloth tablecloths and enjoy a summer of easy, stylish, wipe-clean dining.
