Decorative and functional, bed runners add the beauty of a quilt to your bedroom decor without the weight, bulkiness or expense
I was thinking of just having a white sheet with bed runners for color. Also will make several to change the effect.

I made one for my bed and love it. It just adds a punch of color and it's something I made.

I keep a blanket across the foot of my bed for a foot warmer

I think that they are really pretty for decoration and adding color to room. Many pattern can be adapted to make bed runners so you can try a new pattern, make it cheap and quick and change the color of your room often.

Actually that is almost what I do except I have a ivory bed spread (walmart $30 ) for our king size bed. I make nap or twin size quilts and lay then across the top of the bed with almost no drop. They are cheaper, easier and quicker to make so I can change the color of the room often for not TOO much money and have the fun of making different quilt patterns in many colors combinations.

It does all the things mentioned. I live where it is very warm and get tired of always making the bed with a quilt when it's not used for warmth so made a bed runner and love it. It also had the added bonus of keeping the feet warm. When it gets cold I'll go back to the quilt.

It also makes a great "pillow cover"...my quilt goes under the pillows and the "bed runner" goes over the pillow area. It makes making the bed so much easier...you will have to measure how wide and how long your particular situation requires. I made one of those dimensional quilts that had a table runner pattern included. I just enlarged that to fit my needs...it really "makes the bed"

I recently stayed at a 'high-end' hotel in the Orlando area while visiting The Mouse. The bed runner in my room was the perfect splash of color - I'm planning on making several as Christmas gifts this year!
