Runners for Every Room

With interior accessories, often it’s the smaller details that can make the biggest difference – a runner can be one of those understated changes that can truly transform your space. Whether you have a long hallway or your kitchen is the hive of the home, a good runner can add warmth and character to a space whilst creating a sense of flow and protecting your floors. However, with a plethora of options available, how do you know what will be best for you? Hug Rug’s runners are created with sustainable everyday living in mind, and with a range that includes a variety of options including washable cotton runners, and luxury wool runners, there’s an option for every home.

It’s the first thing a guest sees when they enter your home, it’s more than just a space you pass through, and is as deserving as any other space of design attention. By adding a runner, you can instantly elevate your hallway area by adding texture and warmth. Hallways tend to be a high traffic area that require durability and easy maintenance, for this, Hug Rug Eco-Washable rugs are the perfect option, designed to withstand everyday use, and be machine washable, they’ll stay looking their best all year round.  

Not only are they functional and stylish, the eco-friendly materials also that are used to create them make them an excellent option for environmentally conscious homeowners. Created from recycled fibres, their soft underfoot feeling adds comfort to a space, whilst their short pile allows doors to glide easily across the surface. For a hallway that feels cohesive and cosy, choose a runner with hints of your wall colour, or one that will complement your choice of flooring – subtle patterns and warm tones can help to create an inviting space that you’ll be excited to welcome your guests into. 

As the heart of the home, the place where you cook, and your family gathers, the kitchen is a space where splashes, spills and crumbs are inevitable. Adding a runner to this space brings a layer of soft comfort underfoot (especially useful when standing for long periods of time) and helps defines zones within your space. Placing a washable cotton runner near your kitchen sink adds texture and warmth to hard or cold flooring, whilst absorbing any splashes, keeping your kitchen floors protected.

As the cotton runners are washable, they can be cleaned in the machine whenever they’ve got a little messy, so you can enjoy a beautiful runner without worrying about stains or kitchen odours. Available in a range of colours, and with options of plain cotton, or printed patterns, it’s easy to match Hug Rug Cotton Mats to your kitchen cabinetry or flooring colours – choose darker flecked patterns to disguise spills or dirt or opt for a beige pattern to complement any décor choice. With a patented backing, they also can act as a sound buffer, softening the sound of footsteps, an especially important feature for busy kitchens in apartments.

With all your home’s foot traffic passing through your entryways, few areas face as much daily wear and tear. As the area that is most likely to face the outdoors, muddy boots and wet paws often come in abundance. A washable cotton runner placed in front of your patio doors, or at your front door keeps that dirt and moisture from entering your space, so your entrance stays looking fresh and stylish, whatever the weather.  Machine washable, and therefore not requiring any professional cleaning, they’re easy to refresh after heavy daily use. 

Stylish and sustainable, they’re made from recycled cotton, and available in both printed and plain designs that can make a statement whilst disguising the odd paw or footprint. Patterned runners can make your space feel intentional and curated, whilst a plain design can blend effortlessly into any interior. The right choice of runner can set the tone for the rest of your home.  

Runners aren’t just for busy transitional spaces; they can also play a role in your living space. Perfect for defining areas in large or open plan rooms, they can guide the eye and create a sense of flow from space to space. Adding softness to walkways and protecting floors in high traffic areas between doors and furniture, Wool or Sense runners provide a durable solution that enhances your home décor. 

For aesthetic appeal, a plain runner can help define spaces whilst letting your other décor and furnishings shine, and a bold colour or pattern can help bring together a consistent style throughout your space. In the colder winter months, they also act as an insulator, helping to keep your space warm and cosy. 

Stepping out of bed onto a soft and cushioned surface instead of a cold floor is a little luxury that a beside runner can bring to your morning routine. Add a touch of indulgence to your bedside by framing your bed with bedside runners, adding an extra layer of warmth, or place the runner at the foot of the bed to elongate your space. 

Enjoy a hotel-like comfort and feel, by choosing soft wool or Hug Rug Sense runners, in muted tones or neutrals that enhance the relaxing atmosphere of your room, helping create a peaceful sanctuary conducive to restful sleep.
