Not the Olympic, marathon winners and not named runners because they were made to be sprinted on – runner rugs get their name because they’re longer than they are wide and get to see a lot of foot traffic. Runners can generally be found in corridors and hallways. They’re great at tying rooms together, directing guests through your home, making empty hallways look inviting and as your porch or hall takes a lot of footfall and mucky shoes, it’s a great way of keeping the flooring beneath protected. Not just for the hall though, runners can be styled in the kitchen, landings, bedrooms and any room you feel needs a little something extra!
