The table often occupies the central place in the kitchen or living room, so it is worth spending time on its decoration. The most common decoration is a tablecloth, but not the only one. What can be used instead of it?
Napkins
Napkins are a must on every elegant table. Sometimes they complement the tablecloth, and sometimes they may play the main role. In case of the latter option, it is worth to bet on a distinctive color. The color of the napkins can be matched with the color of candles or flowers.
Runner
A table runner is an interesting alternative to the tablecloth. It does not cover the whole tablecloth, but only a given fragment. Thanks to that it may emphasize individual parts of the table. It’s usually placed in the middle, and you can put additional decorations, like a vase of flowers or candlesticks, on it. Check out our inspiration below.
