runner tablecloths are currently becoming a very popular interior decoration trend during the Lunar New Year. Unlike tablecloths covering tables, runners bring a modern beauty as well as help highlight the living space.
However, to choose a beautiful and suitable runner scarf, housewives need to pay attention to 4 core factors to ensure harmony and bring accents to the house during Tet.
Suitable material
Material is the first factor to note, for example, in classic style living rooms, fabrics such as brocade, silk or velvet will be one of the optimal choices. The material of the runner scarf will help enhance the luxury of the family's living space.
Conversely, for a house style with a modern touch, consider using silk fabric, coarse cotton or canvas... which are both less dusty and easy to wash, but also help bring a feeling of closeness, very suitable when decorating with ceramic vases.
Dimensions and proportions
A beautiful runner tablecloth needs to have a harmonious size ratio with the table. In principle, the width of the runner should be about 1/3 of the width of the table surface. In terms of length, ideally, the runner can be spread down to the two ends of the table about 15 - 20cm to create softness.
If the tea table has elaborately carved legs or a different style, housewives can choose a shorter runner scarf, spread neatly in the table.
Colors that bring good luck
House decoration during the Lunar New Year needs to prioritize bright colors, carrying auspicious meanings. Red symbolizes luck and fortune, gold represents wealth, and blue brings a feeling of vitality and a new beginning.
Therefore, when choosing tablecloth colors, housewives should pay attention to the above colors to help the living space become fresher.
Decorative patterns and motifs
Patterns on runner scarves will help bring a joyful and happy spring atmosphere to the family. Traditional patterns on runner scarves such as peach blossoms, apricot blossoms or calligraphy will always be a meaningful choice during Tet.
If you want novelty and modernity, housewives can choose geometric patterns, stylized cloud patterns or hand-embroidered lotus flowers to bring a sumptuous and happy atmosphere to family members at the beginning of the new year.
