Runner rugs, which are longer and thinner than traditional area rugs, add flair to spaces that would otherwise feel bare or cold. They can be used to define areas in open floor plans, provide a barrier between a dining room and living room or simply create a focal point of color or pattern. Because runner rugs are less bulky than full area rugs, they’re easy to move around and can be repositioned as needed. Whether you’re looking for a classic ivory and brown runner rug or something more unique, there’s a runner that will suit your tastes.

Hallways
Traditionally, hallways are the most popular space for runners. This is because these transitional areas are the most heavily traveled and often the first thing guests see when they enter your home. A runner can instantly transform a boring, drab hallway into something that is inviting and welcoming.

Foyers
An entryway rug is a great way to make your visitors feel welcome in your home. It’s a great place to display some beautiful house plants, a cozy bench and a table for a quick cup of coffee. This is especially true for foyers that have a small footprint. A runner rug can help to define this space and set the tone for your home’s style. It can also make your foyer more inviting and give the impression of an expansive space. Just be sure to leave some space between your runner and the edges of any furniture you’re placing it near. If the sides of your runner touch any furniture, it will look crowded and can take away from the room’s overall style.
