Add a Splash of Sunshine With Yellow Table Runners

Warmth and color are a great addition to any space, and yellow table runners are the perfect way to work some variety into your home. Table runners have traditionally been used to protect tables, along with tablecloths, and now they're also a great decorative accent. To quickly change up the look of your room, grab some yellow table runners and have some fun decorating - in your dining room and throughout your house.

Decorating For Modern to Rustic Esthetics

Yellow table runners fit perfectly in so many settings. Whether you're hoping to bring a modern look into your space or you prefer something rustic, yellow adds contrast with dark colors and pops against lighter shades. Here are just some creative ways you can have fun with this accessory in your space:

• Bold color choices, like black and those with metallic sheens, pair well with yellow. Use a yellow table runner down the length of your dark table and contrast it with other light-colored accents, like centerpieces, placemats or dinnerware sets in white.
• Yellow evokes thoughts of sunshine, bright flowers and warmth. Use this to your advantage in your decor by decorating with bright table runners in areas that need a little perking up.
• When using a table and tablecloth, stick with yellow for the table runner and choose a contrasting color for your tablecloth. For a rustic look, choose warm, green shades for your table cloth. For a more modern esthetic, shades of black and gray are perfect.

Create a Dynamic Environment With Bold Colors

Incorporating yellow accessories is easy as long as you choose the right tone for your decor. Pick bright yellows for darker rooms that need a little perking up and use softer yellows to give your room or table a calming feel.
