High Style DIY Table Runner Ideas

Creating a tablescape involves the art of layering. How many layers can you put on your table to create the perfect tablescape? Start with a tablecloth, then add place mats or chargers and a contrasting or matching table runner. Next, add the flatware, plates, and glasses. Ready for more? It's time for the centerpiece(s). Wait, did you remember to add candles?

You'd think that the table runner, just a strip of cloth, would not matter too much. It actually is a tablescape element that really ties the tablescape together. It adds color and dimension to the tablescape, and gives a look of fullness to the table.
