One color or more?

One of the best things about making a Granny Rectangle Table Runner is that you have so many options when it comes to colors.

You can choose to go with a monochromatic look, using just one color for the entire runner. This can create a sleek and modern feel, perfect for a minimalist or contemporary home.

On the other hand, if you’re feeling a bit more adventurous, you can choose two contrasting colors that really pop. This will give your table runner a bold and playful look, perfect for adding some fun to your dining room.

If you’re having trouble deciding on which colors to use, take a cue from your existing home decor. Consider the colors of your walls, furniture, and other accents in the room.

You can either choose colors that complement these existing elements or go for something that contrasts in a way that really stands out.

And remember, don’t be afraid to have some fun with it!
