A table runner is the quickest way to give your dining table a new look.

Pop one down the middle of the table and it's instantly ready for dinner, all at low prices you'll love.

Find the right table runner for your space

Getting it right comes down to size, material and the look you're after. A few quick checks and you'll have your table sorted.

Get your table runner size right

Measure the length of your table, then choose a runner that's either a little shorter for a neat, modern finish or long enough to hang 15 to 30cm over each end for a relaxed look. For width, a runner about a third of your table's width keeps room for plates on either side. Check the dimensions on each product page before you add to cart.

Choose a table runner material

Woven jute brings warm texture to timber tables and coastal-style spaces, and it's a favourite for outdoor dining too. Felt runners have a soft, easy-going feel that suits everyday meals, while recycled cotton runners keep things light and simple for a casual table. Some of our runners are reversible, so you can flip them over for a fresh look whenever you like.

Style your table runner

Keep it simple with a runner on its own, or add a vase of flowers, a few candles or a fruit bowl down the centre for an easy centrepiece. Neutral runners let colourful dinnerware stand out, while a patterned runner adds instant personality to a plain table. Runners work beyond the dining table too, so try one on a sideboard, coffee table or kitchen island.

Table runners FAQs

How long should a table runner be?

For a relaxed look, choose a runner that hangs 15 to 30cm over each end of your table. For a neater finish, go for one that sits just inside the table edges.

Can I use a table runner with placemats?

Yes. Lay the runner down the centre of the table and set placemats on either side, or across the runner for a smaller table. It's an easy way to bring colour and texture together.

Can I use a table runner outdoors?

Yes, a table runner is an easy way to dress up an outdoor table for summer lunches and barbecues. Bring it inside after use and check the care instructions on the product page.

How do I clean a table runner?

Care depends on the material, so check the label or product page before washing. Spot clean spills as soon as you can, and let your runner dry flat to keep its shape.
