Runner Rug Size Guide

Typical lengths:

120–200 cm: As a bridge, small accent, e.g. in front of a dresser or beside the bed
240–370 cm: For corridors, long hallways, dining rooms, kitchen runners, stairs
400–600 cm: Extra-long runners for galleries, grand hallways, and large passageways

Typical widths:

Standard widths: 40–60 cm, 70–90 cm, 100–120 cm

Expert tip: Give at least 8–15 cm of clearance on both sides of the runner from the walls, and let it extend slightly at the end of a hallway.

Living Ideas & Practical Tips for Runner Rugs

Colourful runners bring freshness to neutral hallways, while darker versions add refinement to large walkways. Tone-in-tone runners blend seamlessly with your floor or walls, whereas high-contrast pieces create attention-grabbing highlights. To keep your runner looking great for years, vacuum regularly, rotate it sometimes, and have it professionally cleaned as needed depending on the material. For extra safety—especially for light or very long runners on smooth floors—add a non-slip rug pad.

Hallways & entryways: Welcome guests with expressive colour, design, and premium materials—a runner sets the inviting mood right at the door.
Kitchen & dining: A runner between counters and kitchen island adds comfort and style, pads the floor and protects against splatters or crumbs.
Staircases & steps: Special stair runners offer traction, safety, and a decorative connection between floors.
Bedroom: Runners on either side of the bed (or as a centre strip) create a sense of luxury and cosy warmth every morning and night.
Living spaces & galleries: Use along shelves or beneath windows for exciting, linear accents.
Runners as wall art: Elongated formats make striking vertical textiles and add a unique touch to your space.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions about Runner Rugs

How long should a runner be in the hallway?

Long enough to be centred and leave visible space at the ends—too short looks lost, too long may block doors. We’re happy to advise you individually.

Are runners only suitable for hallways?

No—they’re also beautiful in kitchens and bedrooms, as bedside runners, in galleries or even as wall hangings.

Can I combine runners with other rug shapes?

Absolutely! Mixing lengths and shapes creates structure and dynamism in your home.

Are runner rugs non-slip?

For particularly light and/or long runners, we recommend anti-slip mats on all smooth floors.

How should a quality runner be maintained?

Vacuum regularly, treat stains quickly and for valuable pieces, consider professional cleaning every 1–2 years.
