Choosing the right size and style of table runner is key to enhancing the beauty of your home. In this article, you'll learn how to select the perfect table runner based on your table’s size, style, and practical needs—making your table setting more refined and tasteful.
Many people feel unsure when choosing a table runner: What size should I get? Does it go well with a tablecloth? What’s the difference between materials? This article will walk you through each key point, helping you not only use it well—but style it beautifully too.
How to Choose the Perfect Table Runner Size – Just Right!
Length Recommendation:
Your table runner should extend 15–25 cm (about 6–10 inches) beyond each end of the table for a naturally elegant drape.
For example:
-
Table length 120 cm → Recommended runner length: 150–170 cm
-
Table length 180 cm → Recommended runner length: 210–230 cm
Width Recommendation:
The standard width is 30–45 cm (12–18 inches), which suits most 4- to 8-person dining tables.
For larger tables or decorative display tables, opt for a runner wider than 50 cm (20 inches).
