Table Tops in a Box: Runner or Table Cloth

Runner of Table Cloth

Many people ask me if they should use a tablecloth or table runner, my view is you can use both, it can look fantastic and give that pop of colour either way.

A plain block coloured tablecloth say in a turquoise can look amazing with a pattern mix n match yellow table runner, with the matching napkins in the mix n match, as one of the napkins also has the turquoise featured in a stripe. Finish the setting with the yellow rope placemat and coaster, the ceramic yellow napkin rings finished with the mix n match yellow votive candles in the larger size to finish the table setting. The photo shows the look with a white tablecloth which also looks great especially at Easter.

An alternative to the traditional tablecloth is the oil skin cloths from Mexico, they are usually in vibrant bright floral prints and they look incredible with a dot runner, we decided to do a 'Festival' styled table in store one week, the photo shows how amazing it looked. The oil skin cloths are only avail in the concept store, you can order via email.

Another version of this is the classic black and white dot table cloth with red, black and white featured accessories, placemat, napkins, napkin rings its a classic look, which you can easily replica at home.

The table cloths on line all work exceptionally well with the table runners, you can easily coordinate the look from any of the ranges. Need help just email at libby@tabletopsinabox.com.au or call on 0400401448 as we are happy to assist.
