What Exactly is a Runner Rug?

Runners are basically rectangular rugs that are longer than they are wider. Their length is what gives them their name – runners. These area rugs come in varying lengths and therefore you can cover the longest of galleries or hallways with them. Basically, there is no set ratio for a runner, but as long its length is proportionately larger than its width it will come under the runner category. Antep Rugs has a wide collection of hand-knotted and flat-weave runners in natural materials like silk, wool, cotton, and jute.

Reasons to Buy Runner Rugs for your Home

Gives Added Visual Interest to a Space.  

Like most carpet types, runner rugs can increase the visual appeal of a space significantly by bringing an element of color, texture, and pattern. It can also change the mood and ambience that a room evokes by projecting warmth or a cool and calming atmosphere. It is also one of the easiest and quickest design fixes that one can use to spruce up areas in the home - dull stairs can easily be turned into a main attraction for the home if used with the right type of carpet runner. Hallways and entry ways which generally look too drab but the help of a carpet runner, they become warmer and more welcoming.

Reduces Wear and Tear.

Carpet runners can serve as a protective feature for areas in the home which are most exposed to high traffic. Stairs, being one of the most used parts of the house are constantly subjected to wear and tear, making them prone to damage, scratches and fading. A runner carpet can also conceal damaged stair treads and unsightly marks, while at the same time, extending the life of the flooring material.

Prevents Slip Hazards.

Flooring materials such as hardwood and ceramic tiles have the tendency to be slippery and can sometimes present a risk for accidents. To prevent slip hazards, a carpet runner may be added to a stair as they act like a safety feature. This is especially helpful to households with children, mobility impaired family members and pets. Browse through our 6-foot runner rugs for bathrooms or kitchens, just to keep extra safe.

Delineate areas within a larger room.

Carpet runners may be used to define different spaces within a large room without having the need for partitions or a change in flooring material. It can break the expanse of wide hardwood floors and broad tile flooring. For example, if you want to add a small home office to your master suite, the addition of a runner rug can instantly anchor a desk and office chair setting.

Noise Insulator.

Walking on hardwood floors can sometimes create an unpleasant sound. Going up and down the stairs can also create a noise that can be quite intolerable. However, with the help of a carpet runner, these are reduced as it provides a soft surface which absorbs the sound.

Provides Cushioning and Keeps the Floor Warm to the Touch.

A carpet, no matter what the type may be, always feel great under your feet. What could even be better, than waking up in the morning and stepping into something warm and cozy in your bedside? Carpet runners make hardwood floors, natural stone, and ceramic tile flooring more comfortable to walk on. They make cold floors warmer to the touch. 

Where do Runner Rugs Look Best?

Ideally, you can place a runner wherever you like. But there are certain places in the house that are perfect for a runner. Let us take for example the entryways to a house. A runner in the entryway is a great way of creating that perfect first impression for your house. Place the runner about 10-15 inches from the wall covering the length of the entryway or hallway and you won’t need any other thing to adorn that space. Runners also look great in hallways and foyers. It can go under the bed from side to side or at the end of the bed or on the sides of the bed. It also easy to layer a runner. A large neutral tone rug in the bedroom can easily be used as the base for a runner to add that extra warmth.

How to Pick a Runner Rug?

  1. Material

Since runner rugs are placed in areas of high traffic, it is important to consider the material of the rug. You want to ensure that your fresh hall runners are durable and can handle people – and pets- walking over it multiple times every day. Washable runner rugs might be the answer you’ve been looking for. This means that no matter how many times it is walked on, you can reset the meter by a quick pit stop in your washing machine and freshen up your long hallway rugs.  

  1. Style

Have a look at your room and imagine what style you might feel like going for. Shaggy runner rugs might add some sort of texture to your home while a contemporary rug will blend in with your chic furniture. Or maybe you want to jazz things up with some elegant runner rugs on the side of your bed to add a bit of warmth to bedtime. Find the right style that sets the tone you want and wow your guests while pampering yourself.

  1. Color

Runner rugs cover a large surface area, especially in hallways or staircases. So, finding the right color is very important. Think about the type of color that will reflect your theme. Do you want something more subtle, that will blend in to offer a serene and minimalist feel? Or do you prefer to create a dramatic effect with a bold contrast?

  1. Texture

Rugs come in different shapes and forms. So, deciding on what the right texture for your runner rug is important. This will depend on what your needs are for that given space. Are you looking for a robust rug that will stand the test of time in a high-traffic zone? In this case, you might want to opt for a flat weave rug as these tend to work best when it comes to wear and tear. They are durable and easy to clean which make them the perfect addition to a hallway.
