Runner Rugs: Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a runner rug?

Runner rugs are long, narrow Rugs designed to fit tight or elongated spaces. Hallway runner rugs are typically used to add character, colour, and softness underfoot to areas where full-size rugs don’t fit. They are available in a variety of:

Where are runner rugs most commonly used in a home?

• Help protect flooring from heavy foot traffic
• Create a welcoming first impression

From non-slip runner rugs in kitchens to washable runner rugs in kids’ play areas or beside beds, runner rugs Sydney are a growing trend in almost all areas of modern homes, especially those with hardwood or laminate flooring. 

They’re the ideal way to add comfort, protection, and style, and in open-plan homes, a great way to define pathways, visually connect separate areas, and make them flow together.

Common Areas for Runner Rugs

1. Hallways The most common spot. Runners protect floors, reduce noise, and add warmth or colour to long corridors.
2. Entryways / Foyers Perfect for welcoming guests and catching dirt or moisture from shoes before it spreads through the home.
3. Kitchens Often placed between the sink and the island or along a galley kitchen to provide comfort while standing and cooking.

5. Bedrooms Placed along one or both sides of the bed or at the foot of the bed for added softness underfoot.
6. Living Rooms Ideal for defining a walkway between furniture or connecting different sections of an open-plan space.

What size runner rug should I choose for my hallway?

When selecting narrow runner rugs for hallways, measure their length and width, leaving about 10–15 cm of visible flooring on either side. This border creates a tailored look and helps balance the proportions. For longer spaces, consider joining two hallway runner rugs to achieve the ideal length. Or We recommend using our custom-size hallway runners to achieve the perfect fit and look.

For appropriate stair runner rugs, our online store offers designs with durable fibres and secure backings to prevent slipping. For extra safety, pair with a quality rug underlay.

A little care and regular maintenance keep your rug looking fresh for longer:
