These simple table decorations come in a variety of sizes, colors and textiles to suit just about everyone’s personal style. Best of all, they’ll look just as great on long rectangular dining tables as a smaller bistro table or coffee table. Here are some styles you can add to your repertoire to make the most out of your table runner.
SHORT AND SWEET
Laying your table runners width-wise can be a great change to the general ambience and feel of a room. This accentuates your table and you don’t need a spectacular center-piece to make this look feel well-placed. You can tie the ends underneath the table or leave them hanging in free-flow.

Best of all, they’ll look just as great on long rectangular dining tables as a smaller bistro table or coffee table. Here are some styles you can add to your repertoire to make the most out of your table runner.
To make:
1. Space your table runners at least a quarter length of table apart for a neat look.
2. Run them parallel to your table width edge.
3. Tie ends underneath table or leave flowing
DOUBLE IT
Creating a cross with your table runners can be a lovely way to create symmetry, especially in round tables. This gives an elegant look and sophistication to the table, and will focus eyes to the center of the table, where you can place central ornaments or leave bare to create negative space and leave spectators drawn in.
To make:
1. Intersect your table runners at the symmetry point of your table. For a round table this is just the center.
2. Place a center piece to focus eyes on, or leave empty for breathing room.
LEAVE IT LOOSE
You can create a hint of informality by leaving your table runner run loose can be a great way to make spectators feel relaxed and at ease. Gathered material can be furnished with any decoration piece to make it stand out.
3. Have your guest feel relaxed and inspired at the same time!
LAYER THEM
Layering table runners can be a delicious feast for the eyes; It allows you to play with colors to create the effects you want. Light pastel colors can provide a sense of calmness and soothing while bright popping colors can bring excitement and intensity. Creating a gradient of calm and intense colors can be used to bring and hold eye attention and to create awe.
To make:
1. Select a color-scheme for the event. Pastel colors, Bright colors, or a mix match of them.
2. Layer your table runners from light to dark tones, ensuring a gradual increase.
3. Add ornaments that match your color-scheme.
Other Uses
You can also use our table runners to accent other types of furniture such as a buffet, hutch, credenza, dresser, vanity table, chairs or even wedding arches.
Aisle Markers
These Table Runners can be used as Aisle Markers to separate sections in seating, highlight aisles, add beautiful effects, and to create a certain atmosphere.
To make:
1. Attach table runners with clips or pins
2. The entire length of the combined runners can be looped alongside chairs
3. Different alternating colors can be combined for eye-catching effect.
4. The ends can be tied to the chair or left loose for a graceful fall
Wedding Arch
These Table Runners can be used as Wedding Arches to create a spectacular center piece perfect for pictures and beautifying the ambience of the area. Very simple wooden frames can be made to look vibrant and inviting with our table runners and combination with appropriate decoration
To make:
1. Attach table runners, preferably of the same color, with clips or pins
2. The entire length of the combined runners can be looped over and around wooden frames. Swing the runner around with hanging folds in the middle
3. Create some asymmetry. Typically, heavier/more decoration is on the more embellished, full side of the wedding arch while the plain, less full side of the arch is left with less decoration.
Honorable Mention — Chair Back
Do your chairs look bland? Maybe there is an easy, elegant way to add them to your theme as well? By using our table runners as a wrap for the back of your chair, you can elevate your aesthetics with minimal effort. Its easy to create
To make:
1. Select table runners (colors as well) that go well with the theme
2. The table runner is thrown on the back of the chair. Pinch the runner every 3-5 inches to create the pattern shown on the right
3. Use a beautiful/ hidden pin to tie the runner at the center
SOME QUICK DOS AND DONTS
Should a Table Runner Hang Off The Table?
Ideally, yes. For a table runner to look presentable and aesthetically pleasing, it should run more the length of your table. Just make sure that it is not hanging more than the length of your tablecloth (if you have them) to keep everything looking proportionate and perfect.
Do many colors look good?
Yes! Many colors can be a great way to attract attention to a specific region. However, do take care and add it according to the theme. For instance, if you are going for mellow colors for a somber event, a few light pastel colors will look better than bright colors. If the theme is more upbeat, bright colors will look more appropriate and stunning

Just plucked our own roses… yes, of course, we didn’t pluck them from our neighbors. I swear they were our own! We layered on white tablecloth and then added the table runner.
How to make this design: Just replace the previous flowers with roses and put them in a large glass container, throw on a white cloth (shhh, you could use white bedsheets, no one would know), put over our colorful runner, of your choice, and throw in some plates, VOILA!
We call this the “Entrance to Paradise” 
design.
Want to make your garden entry more vibrant in color?
