Oranges Floral Polyester Table Runner - Pink

This is a woven table runner in pink, printed with a scattered design of ripe oranges on the branch, their green leaves trailing across the cloth. A dual-toned striped border in orange runs along the ends, framing the fruit pattern. Made from 100% polyester, it comes in two lengths, 180 x 35cm and 220 x 35cm, so you can match the run to your table. The 35cm width sits comfortably down the centre of a standard dining table, leaving room for place settings on either side.

A table runner earns its place on a dining table, a kitchen island or a garden table laid for lunch. The supplier notes this one is made for indoor or outdoor use, so it can move from the dining room to a sunny terrace and back again, though it is worth bringing in when you are done rather than leaving it out to weather. The pink ground and fresh citrus print lean cheerful and summery, sitting happily with plain white crockery and warm neutral linens, letting the runner do the talking down the middle of the table.

Polyester is the reason this runner is hard-wearing and quick to look after. It resists creasing, holds its colour through repeated use and takes a machine wash without fuss, which matters on a surface that meets spilled wine and dropped food. The digitally printed design keeps the oranges crisp and the leaf greens clear. The supplier makes a coordinating Oranges placemat set, so if you want the fruit repeated at each setting rather than only down the centre, the two are built to be used together for one summery, pulled-together look.

What length table runner should I choose?

This comes in 180 x 35cm and 220 x 35cm. Measure your table and allow a little overhang at each end, choosing the longer size for a bigger table or a more generous drop.

Can I use this runner outdoors?

Yes, the supplier states it is suitable for indoor or outdoor use, so it works for a garden lunch or terrace table. Bring it back inside afterwards rather than leaving it out in the weather.

How do I wash it?

It is machine washable, which is handy on a table surface that meets the odd spill. Polyester holds its colour well through repeated washing and dries quickly.

What is the runner made from?

It is made from 100% woven polyester, which makes it durable, hard-wearing and resistant to creasing, so it looks tidy laid straight from the wash.

What will it go with on the table?

The pink ground and orange citrus print sit well with plain white plates and warm neutral napkins, letting the fruit pattern lead down the centre of the table.

Is there anything else in the range?

The supplier makes a coordinating Oranges placemat set, so you can repeat the fruit print at each place setting to match the runner down the middle.
