Long hallways need a runner that reaches from end to end. This collection brings together runners in 4 m and 5 m lengths (400 x 80 cm and 500 x 80 cm), in modern, traditional, boho and natural fibre styles.
How to measure for a hallway runner
-
Length: measure the hallway and leave about 15 to 30 cm of floor showing at each end. A 4.5 m hallway suits a 4 m runner, and a 5.5 m hallway suits a 5 m runner.
-
Width: leave about 10 to 15 cm of floor on each side. An 80 cm runner suits hallways about 100 to 110 cm wide.
-
Doors: check that doors along the hall clear the runner, especially with thicker pile.
-
Longer than 5 m: two runners laid end to end with a small gap can cover a very long corridor.
Keeping a runner in place
Hallways carry a lot of foot traffic. A non-slip rug pad under the runner stops it creeping or bunching on timber, tiles and carpet. Our runner-size pads are 380 x 70 cm and can be trimmed with scissors, so a 4 m or 5 m runner takes two pads laid end to end.
Frequently asked questions
What is the longest hallway runner you sell?
Our longest runners are 5 m (500 x 80 cm). For longer spaces, two runners can be laid end to end.
How wide are your hallway runners?
Most are 80 cm wide, which suits hallways about 1 m wide.
Which runner material is easiest to clean?
Polypropylene and polyester runners are the easiest to keep clean in busy hallways. Wool and jute runners add natural texture and need quicker attention to spills.
