Size matters
The journey to selecting the perfect runner begins with choosing the right size. A rug too big just looks wrong when you walk into the house, one too small creates a cramped and cluttered feel. The idea of choosing the right size for your runner is to match the size of your hallway, placing it centrally down the hallway, and defining the space around it.
As mentioned in our living room guide, all rooms come in different sizes and a variety of lengths and widths, and the same applies to hallways. There is no fixed size yet there is also a general placement that each setting follows:
1) Measure the width of your hallway. The more common runner width is 3 ft but this can either be too wide or not wide enough, which is why we always recommend measuring it yourself. Then you need to decide on how much floor space should be exposed. 4-7 inches on each side we have found is the perfect length for a hallway space, but this can vary depending on different size.
2) Measure the length for the same purpose, and decide whether you want it to run the length of the hallway or perhaps adding two runners with a gap in between. An easy way to see how the rug will look in this particular size is to put down scotch or masking tape to create an outline of where the rug will go.
3) Once you have your sizes and desired design, enter the sizes in the customization tool, and voila, your rug will be made to those exact measurements.
Why?
Runner rugs are used for multiple purposes; decor, comfort, protection for flooring, durability, to guide guests to designated areas in the house. Furniture is always an important factor to consider, where you’ll be placing each set of furniture can either accentuate the surrounding interior design or totally take away from the desired look.
Location, location, location
Runners are one of the most versatile shaped rugs that can be laid down in almost any place in the house:
Hallway: Probably the most obvious place for a runner, hallways are generally the least decorated spaces of the house. Yet placing a runner down can immediately uplift the setting. With heavy foot traffic, a medium or high pile hand tufted rug will easily hold due to its durability, and can add that extra dramatic flair to your space.
Kitchen: Rugs in kitchens are now a thing to behold. Placing a runner between the cabinets or in front of the sink can change the game. No more cold tiles in the winters or puddles splashing when doing the dishes! Flatweave rugs are the perfect option as they can be washed completely and can withstand almost anything that is dropped on it. Another popular option nowadays are outdoor rugs. Made from recycled yarn, these rugs prove to be even more durable than flatweave rugs. These also work in a bathroom setting.
Stairways: Stair runners prove to be a perfect option for hardwood stairs. Although hardwood stairs are very classy and luxurious, they are sometimes a slip and fall hazard especially for young children. This is why having a rug running down the middle of the staircase, it can always prove to be a lifesaver (literally!), as well as adding comfort and noise reduction from those heavy footed people (you know who you are!).

Rugs are more than mere floor coverings; they are versatile design elements that can transform the ambiance of any room. Whether you're aiming to infuse warmth, add a splash of color, or tie together various design elements, the right custom rug can serve as the cornerstone of your interior decor. In this comprehensive guide, we delve into the intricacies of selecting the perfect rug for your space. From understanding its intended purpose to exploring materials, styles, and customization options, we'll equip you with the knowledge needed to make an informed decision. So, let's embark on a journey to discover how to choose the ideal custom rug that elevates both the aesthetic and functionality of your home.
Before diving into the world of rug shopping, it's essential to determine the purpose of the rug in your space. Are you looking to define an area, add visual interest, or provide a soft surface underfoot? Understanding the intended use will help narrow down your options and ensure you select a rug that meets your specific needs.
The size and shape of your rug play a significant role in defining the layout of your room. In larger spaces, opt for a rug that covers the majority of the floor area, leaving a border of flooring around the edges. For smaller rooms, consider a smaller rug that highlights the central seating area. Additionally, explore different shapes, such as rectangular, round, or runner rugs, to find the perfect fit for your space.
Rugs come in a variety of materials, each offering unique benefits and characteristics. Wool rugs are durable, naturally stain-resistant, and provide excellent insulation, making them ideal for high-traffic areas. Silk rugs add a luxurious touch with their soft texture and intricate designs, perfect for formal living rooms or bedrooms. Synthetic materials like nylon or polyester offer durability and easy maintenance, making them suitable for households with children or pets.
Your rug should complement the existing décor and style of your space. Whether you prefer traditional, contemporary, or eclectic design, there's a rug style to suit every taste. Explore patterns, colors, and textures that enhance the overall aesthetic of your room while reflecting your personal style. From timeless Oriental rugs to modern geometric designs, the options are endless.
Add a personalized touch to your rug by customizing the binding and fringing. Choose from a variety of binding options, including fabric, leather, or serged edges, to create a polished look that complements your décor. Fringing adds a decorative element to the rug's edges, enhancing its visual appeal and providing a finished appearance.
Before making a final decision, it's essential to test the rug in your space to ensure it complements the existing décor and meets your expectations. Take advantage of samples or swatches to see how different rugs look in your home's lighting and alongside your furniture. Additionally, consider the rug's maintenance requirements and durability to ensure it will withstand daily wear and tear.
