Christmas table runners for a festive table setting

Along with the tablecloth, table runners form the foundation of a beautifully set table. Not only are they a stylish detail, but they also serve a practical function, protecting the table from spills and stains. They can also be used as placemats by placing shorter table runners horizontally across the table.

Here you will be able to find a wide selection of Christmas runners in a range of designs, colours and sizes by some of the most popular Scandinavian brands.

Festive table runners for a stylish Christmas table

Here you will find Christmas table runners in a variety of styles, so you can find one that perfectly matches with the rest of your tableware.

A Christmas dining table runner in red, gold or silver may appeal to you if you are going for a more traditional table setting, whereas a Christmas runner in grey, blue or white could appeal to you if you want to create a more modern table layout.

Designing a festive table setting

When creating a harmonious table setting for Christmas, you should consider how the Christmas tablecloth and table runner will combine with the rest of your tableware.

Combine the colours of your tablecloth with your Christmas tableware

When choosing the colour and pattern of your Christmas tablecloth, you should always first focus on the colour of the crockery and then choose some additional details which are repeated in the tablecloth or table runner.

Create contrasts with different textures

Consider the material for your table runner and what kind of texture it has. For example, linen has a wrinkled and natural feeling and can create a beautiful contrast to shiny and glossy dinnerware.

Classic combinations

A classic choice for combining a Christmas tablecloth and table runner is to choose a single-coloured tablecloth with a colourful or patterned Christmas runner.

For a playful expression, you can also use a pattern for both the tablecloth and table runner. Combine with simple dinnerware for a unique table setting.

How to use a Christmas table runner on your table

The most common way to use a Christmas table runner is to lay it lengthwise across the table to create a unifying centrepiece. In this way, the table runner becomes the perfect foundation for your serving dishes as well as decorative accessories such as vases, candles and greenery. For something different, you could also use small Christmas table runners as placemats by running them horizontally across the width of the table, individually marking each table setting.

Christmas table runners as decorative furniture coverings

Apart from serving as a beautiful detail on the Christmas dinner table, a Christmas table runner can also be used as a festive covering over a coffee table in the living room or dresser in the hallway. Choose a Christmas runner from one of your favourite collections, such as Vinterdag from Ekelund Linneväveri or Tomtenisse from Almedahls, so you can create a uniform Christmas look throughout your home.

Sew your own table runner

Of course, you can also sew your own Christmas table runners. In our Christmas assortment, you will find a large selection of Christmas fabrics with festive colours and patterns for your very own personal Christmas table runner.
