When setting the table for Thanksgiving, nothing is more important than the feast itself. But coming in at a very close second are all those festive table decorations that put everyone in the holiday spirit! That's why it's important to dress up your table with the best Thanksgiving tablecloths, Thanksgiving napkins, and last but not least, Thanksgiving table runners.
A table runner can either replace or complement a tablecloth, but if you ask us, a layered linens look is twice as nice. We've rounded up some absolutely gourd-geous runners that feature prints like pumpkins, falling leaves, and other autumnal motifs. There are even a few featuring turkey decorations that range in style from elegant to adorable. You'll also find some more neutral or solid color runners that will allow all of your other Thanksgiving decorations (not to mention your dinner!) to shine. Plus, you can use those options all throughout fall and maybe even for Christmas!
