How to Choose Table Runner, Mats and Cover for Dining Table

by Hiram T. Derosa

The dining area is considered the most pleasant space of a home and the perfect dining table adds more value to it. But what makes it more attractive is the table covers; be it in the form of runners, mats or any other it works well as a savior and decorative materials too.

Whether you pick a table runner to place your expensive wine glasses with cheese and cake or you put a table cover with fine edges and placemats with a great culinary set, it holds an aesthetical space of its own.

The option to let the table lose its basic feature can be addressed by playing with different dining table mats such as round table mats, square table mats, etc. The table mats can be subtle or come with a little shimmer or else a heavy zardozi embroidery depending on the occasion. A great backyard party or get-together is incomplete without fairy lights, wooden table and chairs, and pearl white table mats of course.

The dining table cover needs to come with certain durability as the primary responsibility is to safeguard the base that is the table from stains and unwanted spillings. You can add a layer of 2 or a combination set of 3 as well.

You might have often seen this in a banquet hall but it wouldn’t be a bad experience to experiment with this at home too. Try a plain table cover with cutwork edges. Slip a table runner over it, right in the center with a contrasting shade in a satin or any ready-to-wash material. Place a rectangular table mat for culinary matches with the table cover edged with cutwork. You can mix and match the combinations as per your preference. But this combination can never go wrong.

The modern table runner may play around with sophistication such as suede, velvet, or linen. The printed silk table runner also could be an exclusive factor to add an appealing essence.

Just in case, you need to cover dining table flaws; these coverlets come in handy. It’s even in use where you have small kids, as one can maintain certain durability by choosing the right fabric. Where table runners are concerned, stripes and geometric prints are most preferred. Apart from dining tables, you can place them on your bedside consoles, coffee tables, side tables, etc.
