A farmhouse table runner gives you a splash of expression without the fussiness of a full tablecloth. It can be combined with placemats for even more design possibilities. Another option is to coordinate cloth napkins with your runner.
The long shape of a runner may be naturally suited to rectangular tables, but it’s not limited to them. You can use a runner on a square, oval, or even circular table.
A runner invites accessories, and it’s easy to use one as a staging area for a centerpiece, or a thoughtful arrangement of decor that makes use of the space. To give a runner a farmhouse feel, consider dressing it with potted plants and flowers, vintage finds, and weathered or shabby chic accents.
Let’s explore the possibilities for table runners in farmhouse dining rooms.
