Simple and Modern: Finding the Best Rugs for Your Home
When it comes to decorating your home, rugs are often the unsung heroes of design. They anchor your space, add warmth, and tie together your décor,...
About Our Runner Rugs
Runner rugs are long and narrow, typically measuring between 2-3 feet wide and 6-12 feet long. They are designed to add comfort and style to hallways, kitchens, and entryways. With their elongated shape, runner rugs can visually guide you through a space while protecting floors and adding warmth to high-traffic areas.
Rug Pile and Texture: Runners are often used in high-traffic areas like hallways or entryways, so a low-pile chenille runner with a smooth texture is ideal. For a softer feel, choose a plush runner rug in bedrooms or cozy nooks. For transitional areas or outdoor spaces, go for a thick-weave runner with fade-resistant properties.
Area Rug Color: Runners are narrower and longer, so the color you choose can either add a pop of interest or create a seamless flow throughout your space. Neutrals like white, cream, grey, beige, and taupe work well in hallways and entryways. In more dynamic spaces like kitchens or bathrooms, consider vibrant shades like teal, mustard yellow, or deep navy for visual contrast.
Area Rug Style or Pattern: Runners can set the tone for the entire space they lead into. A geometric pattern works well in modern or contemporary spaces, while a floral or vintage pattern fits more traditional or eclectic styles. For a farmhouse feel, choose a distressed or rustic runner design. Striped runners are versatile and can complement a range of themes, making them suitable for most interiors.
Hallways and Entryways: Runners are traditionally used to define long and narrow spaces. Place a runner in your hallway, leaving at least 6 inches of visible flooring on both sides. In entryways, a runner can create an inviting path from your front door to the rest of your home.
Kitchens: A runner is a great addition in front of a long countertop or between the kitchen island and cabinets. Choose a durable, easy-to-clean material to withstand spills and foot traffic, and select a color or pattern that complements your kitchen’s theme.
Bedrooms: Use a runner rug on either side of the bed for a soft landing underfoot when you wake up, or at the foot of the bed for an added layer of style. In narrow spaces like walk-in closets, a runner can elevate the space while providing a touch of warmth and comfort.
Staircases: A runner rug on stairs can provide safety and style. Choose a material that is durable and has good traction, like a low-pile chenille or thick-weave option. Ensure the runner is properly secured to prevent slipping and wear.
Patio or Balcony: Outdoor runners are perfect for narrow outdoor spaces, adding texture and style. Place one along a pathway or in front of your outdoor seating area for a more defined look. Our outdoor runners are fade-resistant and water-resistant, ensuring long-lasting beauty and functionality.
Runner rugs are perfect for hallways, entryways, kitchens, and staircases. They add warmth and style to narrow spaces and protect flooring in high-traffic areas.
For hallways, choose a runner rug that leaves about 4-6 inches of floor space visible on either side. The length should extend close to the hallway’s total length without covering it entirely.
Yes! Runners are a great way to add comfort and style in front of the sink or stove. For bathrooms, look for water-resistant or quick-drying materials like cotton or polyester.
Use runner rugs to create a pathway or visual guide through your space. Choose patterns that complement your room’s decor. In entryways, a runner can set the tone for the entire home.
Use a non-slip rug pad or tape underneath the runner to keep it in place. This also adds cushioning and prevents wear and tear on the rug.
For high-traffic areas, choose durable materials like wool or synthetic fibers. In kitchens or bathrooms, consider machine-washable or water-resistant materials for easy maintenance.

How are different rugs made?
Handwoven rugs are meticulously made by hand using a large loom, with each piece of yarn interlaced horizontally and vertically. The warped yarn at the end of the loom forms the fringe.
Hand-knotted rugs are individually knotted by hand onto the rug's foundation as the rug is being woven to create a pile.
Hand-loomed rugs are pile rugs made on a loom, with an innovative technique that lifts the warp yarn to create a pile that’s looped or cut.
Hand-tufted rugs start as a pattern drawn on canvas where yarn is shot in loops onto the canvas with a mechanized "gun" to form a pile, which is then trimmed for a smooth cut-pile finish. To secure the loops, a rubber or latex backing is painted onto the back of the canvas.
Machine-woven rugs are often made by power looms, and the speed and efficacy with which they can complete a rug makes these pieces highly affordable.
How do I wash my rug?
Simply machine wash your rug with cold water using a gentle cycle. Do not bleach. We recommend line drying or drying without heat on an air-only drying cycle. A low heat iron can be used if needed. To remove any light dirt or debris, hand vacuum carefully on the lowest setting without the beater bar.
