A Christmas table does not have to be red. This runner moves through a blue and purple gradient under a scatter of shimmering ice snowflakes, which pairs with silver and white rather than with holly. It measures 73 by 13 inches in polyester and fits tables set for four to six, indoors or on a covered porch.
The background shifts from blue into purple along the length of the runner instead of holding one flat color, and the snowflakes sit over that gradient so the print catches light as people move around the table. The effect is closer to a frozen landscape than to traditional holiday print, which suits a room decorated in cool tones and clear glass ornaments.
Through a December dinner the runner is a barrier before it is decoration. It takes the ring from a glass, the splash from a gravy boat and the mark a hot dish leaves on bare wood, so the table underneath comes through the season unscratched. That matters most on an extended dining table where the leaves do not get the same treatment as the main top.
The strip is not limited to the dining table. Draped along a console or a sideboard it pulls the holiday ornaments on that surface into one line, and on a kitchen island it marks out the buffet during a party. A covered patio table takes it as well, since the polyester is suited to outdoor use where it stays out of direct weather.
Small marks come off with a damp cloth during the meal, and the whole runner takes a gentle machine wash afterwards without shrinking or losing the gradient. Wrinkle resistance is what keeps it presentable straight out of the cupboard, since nobody wants to iron a runner on the morning of a dinner. Folded flat it stores in a drawer until next winter.
Four holographic covers that shift color as guests move around the room, each 54 by 108 inches, for a Galentines brunch or a disco night.
Two 54 by 108 inch holiday table covers that fit an eight-foot table and take the spills of a Christmas dinner in their stride.
