• Where do table runners go?
• Where should I place a table runner?
• Why should I use a table runner?
• Do table runners have to hang off table?

So what are the answers when using a table runner? There are lots of questions and lots of ways to use table runners.  Let's take a look.

I grew up using place mats and napkins.  My mom was a working wife and mother. She was able to go to work, come home and have a meal on the table for the family every day. She kept a clean orderly home and found time for me and my father.  To this day, I still don't know how she did it.

Once I started decorating my own home, I discovered table runners. When I first started my own home, I decorated in a style called "What Deb Likes (and can afford)". I did not have a lot of money, so garage sales and thrift stores was where I found a lot of my furnishings and accessories.

I was lucky enough to find a sturdy table that I liked for just the right price, free.  The table was the right size, and the color and style of the table went with my other furniture. There was a catch, although most of the table's finish was fine, there was a small stain almost in the center of the table. So, of course, I called my mom to see if there was a solution.  She suggested a table runner. Hmmm, a table runner.

What are table runners used for?

Table runners are great because they protect the table's surface, are very versatile, require little maintenance, and take up very little storage space. This was a great solution. I could hide the stain and protect the table from future damage. Thanks Mom.

Do table runners have to hang over?

This is the most popular question asked. The answer- it is your preference. The usual guideline is a table runner hang for a formal setting or decoration. A table runner can be shorter than the table if you desire a more casual look. So a table runner can be the best size for your taste.
