Hallway Runner Rugs

Runner rugs are long, narrow carpets that are designed to be placed in hallways, staircases, and other areas where foot traffic is high. Hallway runners not only protect your floors from wear and tear, but also add a decorative touch to your space.

When it comes to materials, wool and jute are popular choices for runner rugs. Wool is naturally durable and warm, making it a great choice for high-traffic areas. Jute, on the other hand, is a natural fibre that is sustainable and eco-friendly. More on the trend of natural fibres, we also have cotton runner rugs that are super soft under your feet.

After a specific colour? There's so many to choose from, including, black, green, blue, red, white and so much more. Looking for something fluffy? Our Saffron range of shag runners are a fan favourite of parents all around Australia.

What are the standard sizes for runner rugs, and how do I know which one to choose for my hallway?

The standard sizes for runner rugs are typically 3m, 4m, and 5m long, with a standard width of 80cm. To choose which runner rug will fit your hallway, first, check how long your hallway is. This will help you decide whether you need a 3m, 4m, or 5m rug. Ensure the rug covers most of the hallway but doesn't go past the edges. Double-check that the 80cm width is a good fit. Next, think about where you want to put the rug. You want it only to take up part of the hallway, so leave some space at the ends and along the sides. If your hallway is 4.5m long, a 4m runner rug would be perfect, giving you some breathing room at either end. And remember the doors and furniture in your hallway. Make sure the doors can open and close without any trouble. And if you have any furniture, check that the rug will keep its placement and use intact. Keep all of this in mind, and you'll transform any cramped space into a cosy and stylish hallway.

Can hallway runners be used in other parts of the house besides hallways, such as on stairs or in entryways?

Absolutely! Hallway runners are for more than just hallways. You can use them in another part of the house, such as stairs or entryways. Some homeowners use two runners instead of just one in an entryway, which looks great. Runners can also add a nice touch to smaller spaces like bathrooms or other rooms in your home. They're more versatile than you might think.

What materials are commonly used for hallway rugs, and how do I choose the best one for my needs?

Jute and polypropylene are the most common materials for hallway rugs. Jute has a natural, cosy vibe, while polypropylene is durable and perfect for busy areas, including hallways. When picking the best rug for your needs, think about how much foot traffic you've got going on, the look you're going for, and how much maintenance you're okay with. Jute rugs are eco-friendly and stylish, but they can be sensitive to moisture and stains, so they need some extra love. Polypropylene rugs, conversely, are easy to clean, stain-resistant, and wallet-friendly, making them a practical option for busy homes.

Are there any specific design considerations I should keep in mind when choosing a runner rug for my hallway, such as patterns or colours that will complement my decor?

When picking a runner rug for your hallway, consider the aesthetic you've got at home. If there's already a lot happening with art or furniture, maybe dial it back with a solid, neutral grey runner rug to balance things out. But if your hallway is a bit plain, go wild with a fun pattern or bright colours to spice it up like a boho runner rug. Now, hallways tend to get a lot of foot traffic, so you'll want a rug that can handle it. Look for durable materials like wool, nylon, or polypropylene, which can take a beating and still look fab. A wool runner rug is a great choice for this. And lastly, remember upkeep! With all those feet walking through, you'll want a rug that's easy to clean and maintain. So consider something stain-resistant or one that can be spot-cleaned without too much hassle.

Runner rugs are long, narrow, and perfectly shaped for hallways, stairways, and tight spaces.

They do more than you might think.

Beyond hallways, they're versatile enough for kitchens, next to beds, or in any awkward space that needs a lift.

They're the sidekicks you didn't know you needed, turning your "just okay" spaces into "this is amazing" zones.

Most houses love having hallway runners because of their practicality and comfort. A small budget-friendly upgrade but will bring excitement back to those dull spots in your home.

Feel the countless hours spent standing in your kitchen, on your feet, stirring, chopping, or washing dishes. Over time, the rigid kitchen floor can be unkind to your feet, causing discomfort and fatigue.

Sliding a runner rug into these spaces is like giving your feet a little hug every time you're in there. Doing laundry or sitting on the floor to sort through piles becomes less of a chore and more of a pleasant break.

And when you think about giving your home a little makeover, we often overlook the outdoors.

Think of an outdoor runner rug stretching across your patio or balcony. That makes you think twice.

Runners aren't just for hallways. They make your patio feel like an extension of your living room, too. They're tough on weather, comfy for bare feet, and create a safe, no-slip zone.

They create a slip-resistant surface, especially important around pools or in areas prone to getting wet. This provides peace of mind, knowing you and your loved ones can navigate your outdoor space safely.

Now you can transform your backyard into a chill hangout zone.

For an effortless, earthy, and cosy vibe in your home, a jute runner rug might just be your dream come true. Jute is a durable, natural fibre where rustic charm meets rugged durability.

A jute runner doesn't fuss. Its tough fibre can handle it all, from numerous footsteps, and pet claws, to playful kids. It's all in a day's work for jute. Many jute runners come with a fantastic feature. They're reversible. That’s getting two rugs for the price of one. Flip it over whenever you fancy a change and get an instant hallway refresh. Natural jute runners bring a bit of nature into your home but packaged in a neat, stylish format. A rustic look without making your space into a barn.

And for a layer of soft underfoot, nothing beats the sensation of warm, comfy wool runner against your toes. It's like a cosy pair of slippers, but it’s the whole length of your hallway.

They’re great for dulling down noise. Think of it as a mute button for your feet. Wool is super tough and can stand up to heavy foot traffic, perfect for a bustling hallway.

Wool also naturally fights off stains. To get rid of dust and dirt – a good shake or a quick vac and your wool runner is fresh and spotless again. The perfect combo of comfort, practicality, and style.

And not to mention the vibrant colours and eye-catching designs of runners that can transform any space from drab to fab in an instant. You can opt for geometric shapes, vibrant multi- coloured florals, or sleek solid patterns.

If your hallway is already dressed up with cool art or some neat furniture, you might want to keep the rug simple.

A nice, solid grey runner can help calm things down and keep everything looking sharp.

If your hallway is on the plain side, have a little fun. Make it pop with a rug that's got bold patterns or bright colours. Think about adding a funky boho runner rug to bring in some excitement.

If you’re into nature, freshness, or a hint of adventure– a green runner is the kind of vibe that you will bring into your home. Green can hang out with any other colour and still look good. Whether your hallway has light walls, dark furniture, or colourful art, a green runner just fits right in.

It’s like the friend everyone loves – adaptable and always makes everything more lively.
