FAQs: Beaded Table Linens

How do I clean beaded placemats?

Spot clean only. Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the surface. Avoid soaking or machine washing, as the beads and threads can be damaged.

Can I wash a beaded table runner?

Like the placemats, these should be spot cleaned. Store flat or roll gently to protect the beadwork between uses.

What kind of table decor goes well with a beaded runner?

Balance is key. Pair beaded runners with simple dinnerware, linen napkins or glass candleholders. Let the runner shine as the statement piece, or coordinate with matching motifs for a bold, styled tablescape.
