Guide to Styling with Table Runners and Overlays

Table runners and overlays are not just decorative elements; they add character, style, and a personal touch to your dining setup. Whether you’re prepping for a formal dinner or a casual gathering, the right combination of table runners and overlays can transform your dining room into an inviting space. Here's a guide to help you style your tables with flair.

Understanding Table Runners

A table runner is a narrow strip of cloth that runs the length of a table. It serves several purposes: it can protect the table, add color and texture, and act as a visual anchor for centerpieces. Consider Soft Green SWEDAN Soft Velvet for an elegant and soft look suitable for both modern and classic decor.

Using Overlays for Added Dimension

Overlays are often used to add depth and contrast to your table setup. They drape over the main tablecloth to introduce a new layer of color or pattern. Imagine combining your elegant tablecloth with the exquisite textures of Blush Sprite Jacquard; it’s perfect for creating a romantic and sophisticated dining atmosphere.

Mixing and Matching: A Style Statement

The charm of styling with runners and overlays lies in the ability to mix and match colors and textures. You can pair a vibrant Red Huntsville Brocade Velvet tablecloth with a contrasting overlay for dramatic flair, or choose a subtle combination of tones like the warm hues in SWEDAN Soft Velvet to convey understated elegance.

Tips for Styling Success

  • Layer Texture and Color: Use runners and overlays to create layers of texture and pops of color that match your theme.
  • Align with Centerpieces: Position your table runners and overlays in harmony with the table centerpieces for balance.
  • Seasonal Themes: Change your table decor with the seasons using different color schemes and fabric choices for an ever-refreshing look.
