Table runners define your dining space and protect your table where it matters most—right down the center where dishes and serving pieces land. They anchor centerpieces and add texture that ties your room together, making them both practical and decorative.

Our 72" and 90" runners work perfectly for modern table styling. The clean lines of a single runner suit contemporary homes, while also complementing traditional spaces. They're particularly effective in open-concept homes where they help define dining areas without overwhelming the space.

Choose by table size:
- 72" runner: Perfect for tables up to 60" long
- 90" runner: Ideal for tables up to 78" long
Both lengths allow for a 6" drop on each end for proper styling.

Real-world applications:
- 6-person dining table (72")
- 8-person dining table (90")
- Console/buffet table (either size, with longer drop on display side)
- Round tables: Use either length diagonally for dramatic effect

Absolutely—this is our recommended style. Both our lengths are designed to protect your table's center while showcasing its natural beauty. This works especially well for:
- Wood dining tables
- Marble or stone surfaces
- Modern glass tables
- Outdoor dining furniture

Yes, but consider your runner length:
- 72" runner comfortably fits 6 placemats
- 90" runner accommodates 8 placemats
Tip: Leave 2-3" of runner visible between placemats for the best look

Create interest through thoughtful coordination:
- If using our natural linen runner, you can pair with natural linen placemats
- For textured runners, choose smooth placemats
- Match undertones rather than exact colors
- For special occasions, layer metallic or seasonal placemats over our neutral runners

Simple care for either length:
- Hang and steam for everyday use
- Light iron while damp for formal occasions
- Store rolled around a tube to prevent crease lines
- Quick fix: Spritz with water and smooth by hand

Our sizes are designed for standard table lengths:
- 72" runner: Best for 4-6 person tables (54-60" long)
- 90" runner: Perfect for 6-8 person tables (72-78" long)

For optimal styling:
- Center the runner with equal overhang
- Allow 6" drop on each end
- For console tables, adjust the drop to be longer on the visible side
- For round tables, place diagonally across the center

*Pro tip: Measure your table before choosing. You want a 6" drop on each end for the most polished look.*
