Rug Runners are the most versatile of all Persian rugs and Oriental rugs. With a long and storied history, the rug runner has evolved from its roots as a donkey blanket to a sophisticated and elegant addition to today's homes and offices. They enhance entrances, hallways and stairways and break up the wide open spaces in modern homes.
Rug runners are long and narrow and are one of the most common Persian rug shapes. They are used in entry ways to add dimension to a space and protect hardwood, tile and stone flooring. Carpet runners can transform an average staircase into a stunning centerpiece, adding dimension by drawing the eye upward.
A Great Addition to Traditional and Modern Decor
A Persian carpet runner can be used as part of a traditional or modern living room or great room design. Matching or coordinated rug runners are a great compliment to the room's main area rug and furniture, while helping to bring the whole room into focus. As a coordinating piece, its placement can draw attention to a favorite piece of art, furniture or architectural detail in the room.
Spice Up the Hall
A long hallway is the perfect spot for a Persian rug runner or an Oriental rug runner. Often lacking in interesting architectural features, hallways are the ideal spot to add own personal touch. A runner rug with an all over design will bring a sense of texture to the area without being visually busy. Combing the rug runner with some family photos or other artwork will enhance the hallway and add an interesting and appealing bit of your own personal style to the space.
