How long should hallway runners be?

It’s always ideal to choose a hallway runner that is roughly the same shape, width, and length of a hallway. If needed, measure the length of your hallway. Hallway runners in Australia are typically 2-4 metres long.

Can you put two hallway runners in one hallway?

There’s no rule saying you can't, although two hallway runners may break up a cohesive look if that’s what you’re aiming for. However, it can also be a great way to partition a particularly long hallway in terms of style.

Can you use a runner rug on stairs?

Yes, adding a runner rug to stairs can make for an elegant look, especially if you want to cover up old stairs or imperfections. Just make sure that the carpet material is non-slip—stairs are notoriously known for being slippery even when they’re uncovered.

How do you keep carpet runners in place?

Most carpet runners in Australia will have a non-slip base of some sort, but if you need some extra protection there are various ways to combat this. You can use an anti-slip rug pad, add double-sided rug tape, or even place the runner down with furniture or pot plants.

The advantages of high-quality hallway runners

While most people tend to skim past hallway runners when walking through a home, the importance of high-quality options shouldn’t be overlooked. Since they usually span a whole hallway and take on a lot of foot traffic, you’ll want high quality hallway runners. Compared to low-quality options, high quality hallway runners are less likely to disintegrate or show signs of wear and tear even after years of use. They also feel more luxurious under the feet and will provide comfortable padding. Designs also tend to be more unique and interesting with high quality options in Australia.

How to choose hallway runners that are right for you

One thing to keep in mind is your existing carpeting or flooring. If you’re looking for a contrasting look, choose one with brighter colours or patterns. Likewise, if you want it to match, there are a lot of options that will blend in seamlessly with your existing colour palette. Another thing to consider is the length of your hallway. For a cohesive look, you’ll need to measure the length of the hallway and compare it with the manufacturer’s measurements. Also, if you’re prone to allergies or sensitivities, natural hallway runners that are hypoallergenic, are a great choice. Some also like to coordinate their hallway runners with existing floor rugs and doormats which can help narrow your shortlist.
