Rug Runners For Hallways
There are all sorts of floor coverings for different areas of the home. So you will see with hallways. As
these areas are long and narrow, they make ideal locations for runners. Getting rug runners for hallways in the home can make
the area look more attractive and visually appealing. These rugs that will be placed in your hallway shouldn't cost you a fortune. There are
cheap rugs being sold everywhere nowadays and it's hard to miss them.
The problem when looking for rug runners for hallways is that you may end up
with something too long or even too wide to fit that narrow bit of space. So how can you get the most appropriate size for your use? If you often
look at this as a hit and miss exercise, then here is some good news. There is actually a way for you to get the perfect sized runners. This
method works for all types of runners and for all types of hallways.
Before doing anything you do need to get a measuring tape and measure the length and width of your hallway. Now
all you need to do is some easy calculating and you can go shopping for your perfect runners. So from the width of the hallway, you have to
subtract 4 inches. What this will do is provide you with 2 inches of space on both sides of your runner, which is just the right amount for a
framing effect. So if your hallway is 40 inches wide, you should shop for something that is 36 inches in width. This will give you the perfect
width every time.
The same goes for the length, although here you need to subtract 22 inches from your hallway measurements. This
will give you a nice 11 inches of space on both ends of your runner. This space will be just the right amount for the overall framing effect.
This will eliminate the possibility of your runner overwhelming the hallway area. What it will do is provide you with the ideal runner length for
your specific hallway.
Once you follow the above tips, you can easily find runner rugs for
hallway that fit every time. Another point to note, your rug runners should not end in the middle of a doorway so adjust accordingly. Also,
if you have a somewhat long hallway, you can use two or more runners. Just make sure they complement each other. If you’re still not sure about
getting complementary pieces, don’t worry. Many manufacturers these days anticipate this and produce matching pieces which you can use with
ease.
The above tips can easily give you perfect rug runners for hallways in the home every time. So get your
measuring tape and measure away!
