A Hostess is judged by the table she sets
As your guests enter your dining room, the first thing they see is your dining room table. Everything else tends to recede into the background. You may have the most delightful pictures on the wall, the richest rugs underfoot, the most impressive draperies at the windows. They all play vitally important parts in your decorative scheme. They will all eventually come in for their full share of appreciation. The attention of your guests, however, is irresistibly focused on the table … whether the occasion calls for an elaborate lace cloth or for the simplest luncheon set.
Even when the table is not set for dinner, it dominates the dining room. A friend who happens to drop in during the day and pass by the dining room will notice the runner on the table right away. It definitely sets the tone of the decorative scheme.
