Browse Through Our Stunning Collection of Runner Rugs
Discover a diverse selection of runner rugs at The Rugs. Unlike traditional rugs, these provide partial coverage for your floor while offering sufficient protection against the daily footfall in your landing or hallway. Ideal for high-traffic areas, these long rectangular hallway rugs can perfectly preserve the quality of your carpet or flooring. Above all, you can choose from a variety of sizes, colours, and designs to find a stylish and practical carpet runner that complements your existing decor. Alternatively, you can opt for a runner rug that creates a striking contrast to your current flooring.
What Size Should Runner Rugs Be?
Determining the appropriate size for runner rugs allows you to achieve a harmonious and functional look in your hallway. While hallway rugs should always be matched to the shape of your hallway, they are available in various lengths and widths to accommodate different spaces.
Standard hallway runners typically have a width ranging from 2 to 3 feet, providing a suitable proportion for most hallways. When it comes to length, the options are more diverse, spanning from 6 to 14 feet. To create a visually appealing and balanced appearance, it’s best to leave approximately 4 to 5 inches of flooring visible on all sides of your runner rug. This spacing acts as a kind of "hedging" around the rug, ensuring that it doesn't appear cramped or overpowering.
Remember, you need to create a defined path within your hallway instead of having the rug curl up against the walls like a tightly wrapped taco. By allowing some flooring to show, you maintain a sense of openness and avoid a cluttered feel.
Which is the Best: High-Pile or Low-Pile Runner Rugs?
When it comes to choosing between high-pile and low-pile runner rugs, you need to consider your specific needs and preferences. Both options offer unique advantages that can enhance the look and feel of your hallway or any other area in your home.
High-pile runner rugs are known for their luxurious and plush texture. The longer fibres create a soft and cosy feel underfoot, providing additional comfort and warmth. These hallway rugs also offer excellent sound absorption, making them ideal for reducing noise levels in busy hallways.
On the other hand, low-pile runner rugs feature shorter fibres, resulting in a flatter and smoother surface. This makes them easier to clean and maintain, as they are less likely to trap dirt and debris. Low-pile rugs are highly durable and resistant to wear, making them suitable for high-traffic areas. They also tend to be more versatile in terms of style, easily blending with various interior design aesthetics.
Ultimately, the best choice between high-pile and low-pile runner rugs depends on your personal preferences and the specific requirements of your space. Consider factors such as comfort, maintenance, durability, and the overall aesthetic you wish to achieve. By carefully assessing these aspects, you can make an informed decision and select the runner rug that best suits your needs and enhances the beauty of your home.
The Most Common Places to Have Runner Rugs
You can use runner rugs in various areas of your home, and some of the most common places to have them include kitchens, hallways, entryways, and stairs.
Long rugs in a kitchen can add a vibrant touch and provide comfort in narrow spaces. While the most common placement for a kitchen runner rug is in front of sinks, you can also place them beside an island or in front of cabinets, depending on the layout and design of your kitchen.
Hallways and entryways are popular locations for runner rugs due to their long and narrow shape. These areas benefit from the elongated proportions of runner rugs, creating a visually appealing and functional pathway. Standard sizes for hallway runner rugs typically range from 2 to 3 feet wide and 6 to 14 feet long.
If you want a unique and unexpected touch, you can even place a runner rug on your stairs. This placement adds pattern, colour, and an extra layer of comfort while traversing the stairs. It can be a stylish addition that enhances the overall aesthetic of your home.
