About Table Runners products

Table runners add a strip of color or texture to a dining surface while leaving part of the tabletop visible. A modern table runner can sit on a bare table or over a table cloth, depending on the look you want and how much of the tabletop you want covered. Linen table runners suit settings where natural fabric texture is part of the table arrangement.

Table Runner Materials and Fit

A fabric table runner should fit the table’s length and width without obstructing place settings. Cotton table runners offer another fabric option, and silk runners suit settings that call for a smoother finish. Check the product details and care instructions before choosing a runner for regular use.

To coordinate the table setting, compare the runner’s color and texture with your dinnerware and other table linens. Measure the tabletop before selecting a size, and consider how much of the surface you want to leave uncovered.

How do I choose a table runner length?

Measure the tabletop and compare it with the runner’s listed dimensions. Decide whether you want the ends to stop at the table edge or hang over it.

Can I place a runner over a tablecloth?

Yes. Check that the tablecloth and runner sit flat together and that the runner does not slide during use.

How should I care for a linen or silk runner?

Follow the care instructions provided for the fabric. Test any stain treatment on an inconspicuous area first.
