BEST ELEGANT AND BEAUTIFUL TABLE RUNNERS
FINDING THE RIGHT TABLE RUNNER
What is a Table Runner?
A table runner is one of the most versatile table linens you can own. From the sofa table and dresser tops to the kitchen island and dining table, a runner will help bring out color to any space. Use them to dress up or dress down your everyday kitchen table or dining table. Runners can also be used as a dresser scarf in the bedroom or in a living room on a coffee table and end tables.
What size of Table Runner should I use?
Our beautiful runners come in various sizes from 28” to 70” in length and 14” to 16” wide. A dining table that sits 4 to 6 people you may want to use a 16” X 36” or a 16” X 54” runner. The table that seats up to 8 people can carry up to a 16” X 70” long runner. Use a runner that doesn’t fall more than 3” below the edge of the table or into the chair seat. Use runners of any kind for square, oval, rectangle, or round tables. The best size runner for a round table is one that is about ⅓ of the width of your table. Rectangular tables are great with our rectangular runners and the round table is wonderful with our oval style runners. For a farmhouse style, the stripe rectangular runners are a very good option. Use a runner that is suitable for your taste, but keep in mind, runners should be used as a centerpiece and not for your guest to sit on. You can use our runners down the center of the table or you can make the letter “T” or criss-cross “X’ pattern to eliminate the need for placemats.

What are the different ways to use a Table Runner?
Table runners in long farm tables, coffee tables, or dining tables
Long Farm Tables: If using in the center of table lengthwise, you will need : (1) 90” or (2) 54” runners depending on the length of your Table. Measure the length of your table and divide by 54 or 70 to see how many runners you will need. Lay runners end to end and place a turntable or flower arrangement where the two meet. Add placemats for guests, and for a more formal look, use cloth napkins and napkin rings.
Coffee Tables: Use runner lengthwise, or use a shorter one from front to back of the table with 2-3” overhand on front and back. You can also use a shorter runner centered lengthwise with a candle.
Dining Tables: Measure table lengthwise and divide by either, 35, 54, or 70 to find out how many runners you will need to go from end to end. Otherwise, just use one runner centered lengthwise in center of the table, usually a 35” for table seating 4 people, and table that seats 6 use a 54”.
Do I have to use a Table Runner with a Tablecloth?
Naturally, you don’t have to use a tablecloth with a table runner. If you like the idea that a runner offers as a touch of practical beauty, set it along in the center of the table as an accent for your stemware or china and use it with placemats and a beautiful centerpiece.
