Table runners are not limited to the dining room, I say use them in the living room, foyer, or bedroom. The runner with a cheerful, seasonal, or colorful pattern will add interest to your space.
Here is a photo of a table runner that I bought for end-of-summer / fall home decor. The runner features a pumpkin and sunflower design and it really looks nice.
I also like to use table runners at the coffee station. I will drape the table runner across the front of the station with the coffee pot in the back. The runner keeps the coffee station not only cleaner but also adds color and interest. See photo below

I have decorated my home and my customer's home by using table runners on a variety of tables and cabinets. Sometimes I will gather it up to add soft folds in the fabric then set a floral centerpiece in the center. I may open up the fold in the table runner to add more interest or I will decorate around the folds with books, figurines, or other collectibles.
Another way to decorate your space with table runners is to use them to accent your coffee table. Choose a cheerful pattern that has colors that compliment your room theme. Set the runner in the center of your coffee table then make your table interesting by adding home accessories. Add candles a jigsaw puzzle, magazines, silk floral arraignments, or a holiday decoration such as a cornucopia for Thanksgiving.

When it comes to decorating a space I would recommend that you be creative. Try new things, if you like the way the runner looks on your table then keep the display. If you do not like it, then do something different. It’s your space, do what makes you happy.
