Plum Purple Table Runner, 14 x 72 in

Fourteen inches by seventy-two, sized for a table that seats four to six — the fastest way to find out whether you actually want aubergine in the kitchen before committing to a Dutch oven or new curtains. Rolled out on a plain wood table the whole room reads plum; rolled up, the room is neutral again, which is the right sort of low-stakes experiment for a colour this strong.

Good to know: Polyester, not linen — durable and crease-resistant, but it carries a faint sheen that natural fibre doesn't, and it will never soften the way the cotton towels do.
