A table runner should be long enough to overhang the end of your table by approximately 6 to 10 inches on each end. If your table is 72 inches long, the table runner should be 84 to 92 inches long. If your table is 60 inches long, your table runner should be 72 to 80 inches long.
How wide and how long should a table runner be?
Standard lengths for table runners vary from 36 to 108 inches. Widths can also differ and are usually between 10 to 15 inches. The standard width is a third of your table’s width. An overhang of no more than 6 inches on each end can add a decorative effect.
