A table runner is a simple yet efficient way to enhance your dining table. Here's how to style it in the United States:

1. Select the Right Runner


  • Material: Silk or velvet for formal events; cotton or linen for casual use.

  • Pattern/Color: Go well with your house decor. For uniqueness, use patterns; for minimalism, use solids.

  • Size: Leave 6 to 12 inches extra to dangle over the table's edges.


    2. Placement Options

  • Position it lengthwise in the center.
  • Cross two runners for layering.
  • Arrange diagonally on round tables.


3. Cover with linens

  • For simplicity, use it alone; for flair, use it with a tablecloth.


4. Include centerpieces

  • Use seasonal décor, candles, or flowers.
  • Keep your balance and avoid crowding.


5. Arrange and Personalize

 

  • Make sure the tableware and the runner match.
  • Consider alternative themes like rustic, modern, or festive.
  • As a personal touch, use place cards or heirlooms.
