Sheer Organza

What is the name of this bit of home decor?

I’ve seen a lot of little gift stores using what looks like scarves in sheer materials (like organza) to decorate tables along with knick-knacks and strands of beads. What on earth do they call this fabric? I’ve been calling it a table scarf because it isn’t a table runner, but no one seems to know what I’m talking about when I describe it. Does anyone know what I’m talking about and if there is a proper name for this piece of material?

Hi danagator414,
I think you are referring to a Table or ‘Mantel’ Sash. Though I doubt the industry has named them as such. You are absolutely correct, they are not table runners as we know them. However, if you are looking to achieve this look in your home, here is my tip. You can purchase or make a window scarf. Which is approx 108 inches in length of a sheer material x 24 inches width. You can easily cascade the fabric around your design elements. Again, it seems to me you have a keen eye on design elements and you could easily achieve this look. *Happy Decorating*
