Tartan

The linear pattern of the runner creates a strong directional line, balanced by the radial symmetry of the place settings. Utilizing a split-complementary color scheme, the deep blues of the tablecloth and greens in the plaid are punctuated by the warm browns of the chargers and cutlery, creating visual interest and depth.
