African Corner: African Table Covers

Today’s topic on our weekly African Corner series is titled African Corner: African Table Covers, and I bet you’ll enjoy it! Sorry guys, pardon my manners, Helllooo! Imagine that I was so excited to introduce the topic that I forgot to be courteous. Just before we delve into this enriching topic of the day, I want us to do a recap of the previous post where we talked about African Floor Lamps. It showed us various pictures of floor lamps doing their thing in the African way. Floor lamps are a great way to add a touch of style to your space. If you didn’t get to read the post you can do that here.

Now let’s get down to business! You remember I said I was excited to talk about this post? Now here’s why. When you live in a large household, especially one where there is no maid, the table can be a place that you find the most random stuff, from car keys to crayons and even shoe laces. Other times, kids inscribe their nearly-there writings on it while adults leave water on the table without dabbing the moisture off. Due to constant neglect of tables, often times they start to look old, unattractive and lacking the lustre that originally led you to buy it. So what do you do, Discard it? Of course not! Drape it with a table cover *winks*

Table cover could be either a full cover or a table runner. I love them both so you’ll get to see each of them as they will be featured in this post.

This is a table runner

African Corner: African Table Covers

Table runners like the name implies means that its usually just a narrow strip of cloth/fabric that runs the length of a table.

Table runners are not full table covers. They cover up just the middle of the table.

Look at this vibrant table cloth

Table cloths can be differentiated from table runners through their size and placement. Remember, table runners are used for covering the middle portion of tables, hence, they aren’t large in size while table cloth is usually larger and covers every inch of a table.

This is equally a table runner. Don’t you just love how it was layered with another cane table runner?

We have come to the end of today’s African Corner: African Table Covers post. I really hope you found this useful and will find ways to incorporate it into your home decor.
