Table Runner Styling Tips

For a cohesive look, select runners that either match or complement your tablecloths. To add a touch of elegance, consider matching the runner directly with the tablecloth. Alternatively, if you want to make a bold statement, opt for contrasting colors.

Birthday Parties

For birthday celebrations, embrace vibrant and exciting colors. Choose themed table linens that seamlessly coordinate with the party's theme, whether it's bright and bold for a children's party or refined and sophisticated for a milestone celebration.

Care and Maintenance Guidelines

Different materials require specific care methods to maintain their beauty and longevity.

Polyester:

Polyester runners can be machine-washed. Use the delicate cycle with cold water and mild detergent, and avoid high heat when drying.

Satin:

Satin runners should be hand-washed or cleaned in a gentle cycle in the washer. Avoid hot temperatures when drying.

Organza:

Organza runners should be machine-washed in cold water with mild detergent. If needed, they can be ironed on a low setting and air-dried.

Velvet: 

Velvet runners should be dry-cleaned to preserve their shine and color. Avoid direct ironing to prevent crushing the fabric's pile.

Proper Storage Solutions

Store them in a dry, well-ventilated area. For added protection against dust and moisture, consider storing them in garment bags or storage boxes. Velvet runners should be stored flat to prevent creasing.

Ensuring Longevity and Durability

With proper care, a runner can last for many years. Regular cleaning and careful storage are essential to keeping them fresh and vibrant for repeated use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of a table runner?

It serves both functional and decorative purposes. Its primary role is to add color, texture, and style to a dining table or any other surface. Functionally, it helps protect the table from spills and scratches, especially where dinnerware or centerpieces are placed. Decoratively, it enhances the event's theme or décor, often complementing tablecloths or standing alone as a focal element.

Are table runners still in style?

Absolutely! They continue to be a stylish choice for any setting, whether casual or formal. They offer an easy way to introduce colors, patterns, and textures to a table without completely covering it. The current trend embraces both contrasting and matching runners, adding interest and unifying the overall tablescape.

Should a table runner extend beyond the table?

The length typically depends on personal preference and the desired look. Traditionally, they hang equally over both edges of the table. However, in modern settings, shorter runners that barely touch the edges are also popular, especially when paired with other linens.

How can I make my own table runners?

Creating a personalized runner is simple. Start by selecting a fabric that matches your taste and intent. Measure and cut it to the desired length, then hem the edges to prevent fraying. You can further decorate it with trims, embroidery, or appliques to add a unique touch. Online tutorials and sewing patterns can guide you through the process, depending on your skill level.

How do I decorate with table runners?

They can be used alone as a statement piece or layered over tablecloths for added depth. Coordinate the colors and patterns with other table linens and dinnerware. For themed decorating, incorporate seasonal elements like blooms or foliage. You can also fold or drape the runner in different ways to achieve various visual effects.

Where can I buy table runners?

eFavormart offers a diverse selection of runners in various materials, sizes, and colors suitable for any event. Our website makes it easy to find and purchase the best wholesale table runner based on your event's type and theme.

How should I use a table runner?

First select the appropriate length and width based on your table's size and the look you want to achieve. Place the runner down the center of the table, ensuring that the ends hang evenly from both sides. For a traditional appearance, align it with the table's length, or position it diagonally for a more dramatic effect. Arrange other elements like centerpieces, place settings, and cloth napkins around it to complete the look.

How do I wash cheesecloth table runners?

Cheesecloth runners are typically made from lightweight cotton fabric. Hand wash them in cold water with a mild detergent. Gently swirl the fabric without wringing or twisting to prevent stretching or damaging the fibers. Lay the runner flat to air dry. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals, as they can weaken the fabric and affect its appearance. If necessary, iron on a low heat setting to smooth out wrinkles without losing the cheesecloth's natural texture.
