Tablecloths & Runners
Tablecloths & runners are the fastest way to change a room. Layer on a runner and the table goes from everyday to set-for-something, no rearranging required. At Hudson Grace, our tablecloths and runners come in hand-dyed linen, printed cotton, and patterns that make a table special. Whether you're dressing a long table for a dinner party or layering a runner down the center for a weeknight, here's where to start.
Whether you want a quiet linen or a bold print, here's how the collection breaks down.
Tablecloths and runners at a glance:
Signature Hand-Dyed Linen Tablecloths
Our HG Signature linen tablecloths are the heart of the collection, hand-dyed in colors like Flame red, soft Chai, grey Rain, pink Lily, and crisp White, each finished with a generous border and mitered corners. A white linen tablecloth sets a refined table, while a Flame or Lily brings real warmth to a dinner. Then, because they're long-lasting and easy to care for, they earn their keep across seasons and holidays. Pair one with your dinnerware and a few candleholders, and the table is done.
The Peter Dunham Printed Collection
For pattern with a pedigree, the Peter Dunham + Hudson Grace tablecloths and runners are the showpiece. Designed by the celebrated textile designer behind Hollywood at Home, these block-style prints, Fig Leaf, Jaali, Janpath, Fez Stripe, Bukhara Ikat, and Kashmir Paisley, layer beautifully in green, blue, pink, and spice. A printed tablecloth turns dinner into an occasion, and the matching runners let you carry the look onto a bare or linen-topped table. Generally, one of these is all a table needs to feel collected and considered.
Table Runners for a Layered Look
A table runner is the easiest way to add depth to your table. Layered over a cloth or run straight down bare wood, our linen and cotton runners bring color and structure to the center of the setting. The HG Signature hand-dyed runners in Flame, Chai, and Cedar coordinate with the tablecloths, while the printed Peter Dunham runners and the Horse Block Print add pattern on their own. Meanwhile, the "Bon Appetit" linen runners offer a graphic, modern option. Because a runner does so much with so little, it's the simplest upgrade in the collection.
Or Reach for a Placemat
Prefer to skip the tablecloth altogether? A placemat is the easy alternative, it defines each seat, protects the table, and lets a beautiful wood or stone surface show. And if you love a layered, maximalist look, there are no rules here: toss a placemat right on top of the tablecloth for an extra hit of texture and color. Mix a print over a solid, or a solid over a stripe, however it makes you happy. Because the best tables look gathered rather than matched, a placemat is a simple way to add a little more.
Cotton Stripes for Everyday
Not every meal calls for fine linen, and that's where our cotton tablecloths come in. The Rockport stripe, Hampton stripe, and Boat Stripe tablecloths bring a relaxed, washed-cotton ease to breakfast, lunch, or a casual dinner outside. In blue, green, and pink, they add a bit of pop without much fuss, and they hold up to everyday use. Pair them with bright napkins and simple drinkware for a table that feels easy and put-together at once.
Common Questions
What size tablecloth do I need? Measure your table, then add about 12 inches on each side for a comfortable drop. Our signature linen tablecloths run generous, in sizes like 70" x 108" and 70" x 126", so they suit most dining tables with room to spare.
Tablecloth, runner, or placemat? A tablecloth covers the whole table for a finished look, a runner adds color down the center, and placemats define each seat while leaving the table visible. There's no wrong answer, and layering all three is half the fun.
Can you put a placemat over a tablecloth? Absolutely. Layering a placemat on top of a tablecloth adds texture and a second color or print, and it's a favorite trick for a richer, more collected table. No rules apply.
How do I care for a linen tablecloth? Our hand-dyed linen and cotton pieces are made to be used and washed. Launder gently and they soften beautifully over time, which is part of the charm of a natural fiber.
What goes with a patterned tablecloth? Keep the rest simple, or lean in. A bold Peter Dunham print pairs beautifully with solid dinnerware and quiet glassware, or with a coordinating placemat layered on top if you love a maximalist look.
