Table Runners

A runner does what a full tablecloth does with a fraction of the fuss. These range from our signature cabana stripe and gingham to florals, plaids, and seasonal prints, sized to lay down the center of a long table or crossed over a round one. Pull one out for Christmas dinner, a fall gathering, or a birthday that deserves a properly set table.

      A table runner is the fastest way to make a table look considered. It defines the center, gives centerpieces and candles somewhere to sit, and leaves the rest of the table visible, which matters when the table itself is worth showing. Our signature cabana stripe comes in cherry red, petal pink, emerald green, palisades blue, sky blue, and black noir, so a runner can carry a whole party palette on its own.

      Seasonal prints do the heavy lifting the rest of the year. A Christmas table runner in holly or gingerbread, a fall floral for Thanksgiving, hearts for Valentine's, clover for St. Patrick's Day. Gingham runners in emerald, sky blue, petal pink, and rainbow carry straight through summer picnics, showers, and birthdays.

      Sizing is simple. Most runners are cut for a standard rectangular table with a few inches of overhang at each end, and two runners crossed at the center dress a round table beautifully.

      Layer one over a cloth from our tablecloths and table covers collection, set each seat with a placemat, and finish with napkins that pick up one color from the runner.

      FAQs

      No, and the reason is practical. A runner leaves a beautiful table visible instead of covering it, defines the center for centerpieces and candles, and takes seconds to lay down or swap between seasons. It is the lowest-effort way to make a table look intentional.

      The one that matters is overhang: a runner should extend roughly six to twelve inches past each end of the table, or stop flush with the edge if you prefer a cleaner line. Center it down the length of a rectangular table, or cross two runners over a round one. Everything past that is preference.

      A row of placemats down the center of the table, a length of ribbon or garland, or a run of small vases and votives all read the same way. For a one-time party, a paper runner gives you the look with nothing to launder afterward.
