Dining Table Linen Runner

Dining table linen runner in 100% washed flax — the working dining runner sized for standard 6-, 8- and 10-seater tables, 13–14 in. wide in lengths 72 / 90 / 108 in. Our dining table linen runner pairs with placemats and centres a table without ceremony.

The runner that dresses a dining table without a tablecloth

A dining table linen runner is the middle ground: it defines the centre and gives you a spine for the centrepiece, without covering the wood. Pair it with placemats and the table is set in seconds, every night.

Frequently asked questions

Runner with or without placemats on a dining table?

With placemats is the traditional dining setting; without is the modern minimal look. Both work.

What size dining runner for a 6-seater?

72 in. runner covers a 60 in. six-seater with the standard 6 in. overhang each end.

Runner over a tablecloth or on bare wood?

Both. Runner over tablecloth for formal; runner on bare wood for modern and farmhouse.

Does the runner run parallel to the table long side?

Down the centre spine of the table, parallel to the long side. Never crosswise on a rectangular table.
