Original table runner: a distinctive pattern in 150, 180, or 200 cm
The original table runner is designed for those who want to move away from completely solid-colored decor while keeping a format that is easy to integrate. The model is offered in three lengths—150, 180, and 200 cm—with a fixed width of 33 cm. The design remains identical across all three sizes, allowing you to choose solely based on table dimensions and desired overhang.
A decorative runner works particularly well when it becomes the focal point of the table centerpiece. Rather than repeating its pattern on the plates, napkins, and tablecloth, use it as the main element and keep the rest more understated. Wood, light ceramic, transparent glass, and a few low objects help keep the table looking uncluttered.
33 cm wide: a decorative strip that is easy to frame
Before ordering, place two plates face to face and measure the space available between them. A width of 33 cm is suitable for many medium or large tables. On a narrow table, the textile may slightly pass under the plates; this is still possible if there are few items in the table centerpiece.
On a sideboard or console, the 33 cm creates a decorative area visible under a few objects without completely masking the surface.
150 × 33 cm
For a small table, console, or compact placement with minimal overhang.
180 × 33 cm
For a family table or moderate overhang on a shorter tabletop.
200 × 33 cm
For a longer table, sideboard, or more pronounced overhang.
How to choose between the three lengths?
Measure the tabletop. If you want an overhang, subtract the length of the table from that of the runner, then divide by two. A 160 cm table with a 200 cm model will give about 20 cm on each side. A 150 cm table with a 180 cm format will offer about 15 cm at each end.
The original table runner can also remain entirely on the table. This type of placement works well on contemporary furniture or when a wooden, stone, or glass tabletop deserves to remain visible at the ends.
How to highlight a pattern without overloading the table?
Choose solid-colored tableware and pick up just one color present in the design for the napkins or accessories. If the pattern already includes several shades, avoid adding a printed tablecloth or highly graphic placemats. A white, beige, or off-white base provides more visual space for the runner.
Natural materials work particularly well: a stoneware vase, a wooden board, a few branches, or simple candles are often enough to create an interesting composition without masking the pattern.
How to organize the table centerpiece?
Let the textile breathe between the objects. Several small, spaced elements are often more effective than a large centerpiece that would cover the majority of the design. On a long table, repeat the same type of element—small vase, candle, or branch—at regular intervals to visually accompany the length.
On a sideboard, place dishes while leaving portions of the runner visible between them. This helps to structure the surface and gives a more organized impression.
What to pair it with?
To compare other patterns, the Table Runner collection gathers several styles. The Foliage table runner suits a botanical atmosphere, while the Design table runner offers a more contemporary approach.
A solid-colored Tablecloth can serve as a base if you wish to cover the tabletop completely. Simple placemats also allow you to structure each place setting without competing with the central design.
Care instructions
To care for your original table runner, follow the instructions on the label. Avoid relying on old generic promises regarding the material or wash temperature. In case of a stain, quickly remove the excess then dab gently to avoid spreading the dirt.
Let the textile dry completely before storing it. A loose fold or rolled storage can help limit creases, especially on the 200 cm format.
