Hallways are often overlooked in home design, but they are the arteries of our homes, guiding us from one room to another. To enliven these spaces and add comfort and style, runner rugs are an excellent choice. Today, we're going to give you the best tips for buying the perfect runner rug for your hallway.
1. Size Matters: Measure Before You Buy
The first and most crucial step before purchasing a runner rug is to measure your hallway. You want your rug to fit well - it should be proportional to the hallway's length and width. A good rule of thumb is to leave at least 4 inches of floor visible on each side. For length, it's always better if the rug does not touch the base of the doors or reach the very ends of the hallway.
2. Consider the Rug Material
The hallway is a high-traffic area, so the rug material should be durable. Wool and synthetic fibres are great choices as they are resilient and easy to clean. If you prefer natural materials, jute or sisal can be a good option, though they may require more careful cleaning.
3. Pattern and Colour Choices
Runner rugs can be a great way to introduce colour and pattern to your hallway. You can choose to go bold with vivid colours and striking patterns or stick to neutral tones for a minimalist aesthetic. Remember, dark colours and patterns can hide dirt and stains better than lighter ones, which can be handy in a high-traffic area.
4. Don't Forget the Rug Pad
A good rug pad is essential for any rug, but especially for a runner in a high-traffic area. A rug pad will provide extra cushioning, reduce slippage, and help extend the life of your rug.
5. Easy Maintenance is Key
Given the high-traffic nature of hallways, choose a rug that's easy to clean. Low-pile rugs will be easier to vacuum, and those with stain-resistant treatments will make cleaning up spills simpler.
6. Reflect Your Style
Ultimately, your runner rug should be a reflection of your personal style. Whether you love the sophistication of traditional Persian rugs, the relaxed vibe of a natural jute runner, or the modern touch of a geometric pattern, choose a runner that will make you smile every time you walk down the hall.
