When it comes to decorating my table for the holidays, I almost always turn to table runners versus tablecloths. It isn’t because my table is so beautiful that I want to show it off. (I wish!) I find them very easy to maintain and keep clean, and I have small children.
Enough said.
With a table runner, I don’t have to worry about my kids accidentally pulling it down or spilling their drink (again!) on my just washed tablecloth. They are also easy to switch out and are available at affordable prices. Etsy shop, Ooh Baby Designs offers several great inexpensive options and asked me to share some of them with you!
If you love a pop of red for your holiday table, these two table runners might be just right for you. Featuring an elegant print, this damask table runner brings out the beautiful metallic elements that are simple and elegant.
If modern is more your style, this red quatrefoil table runner with an optional monogrammed burlap overlay is a great addition to your table. The Christmas trees and monogram are a perfect touch to the center of your table.
If you prefer something a bit more subtle, this gray chevron table runner might be the one for your family. The stenciled white snowflake burlap overlay works well for the holidays and transitions well through the winter months.
This same burlap overlay also coordinates well with this brown damask table runner. Because of the overlays you can easily transition every single one of these table runners into every season. Simply change up your centerpiece to create an entirely new look for each season.
Feeling inspired? All of these designs and more can be found Ooh Baby Designs, starting at only $11.50 for the table runner only. I haven’t had a chance to see her table runners in person, but her work is fantastic. If you love scarves, you have to check out her vast scarf selection. A majority of them are under $20! I’ve fallen absolutely in love with my buffalo check scarf and my fair isle scarf.
With a small investment, you can dress up your holiday with this single Etsy shop and support a small business in the process!

Love these ideas! Where did you find the mercury glass vases?
Oh, everythiing looks SO nice! I really like the stenciled white snowflake burlap overlay. For “centerpieces” I use a couple of large glass bowls, and fill them with tree ornaments – one with gold & red, the other with silver & blue. It looks real pretty, too.
Wow, I went at looked at all the scarves at Ooh Baby Designs – did you see the Snowflake Scarf? Gorgeous, and only $10.00. I think I’ll treat myself, maybe pick up another. You can’t beat that price, and all are so pretty!
I can’t believe how much difference a table runner makes. They definitely add some class to your table. I just might give it a try this year and see how it goes.
Beautiful colors and beautiful table runner. I wish I could find something as beautiful but I have an octagon shaped table and it’s hard to find a really good table runner.
