Carpet Runners

By Rednallog Anconformity

Carpet runners are long, narrow rugs meant to be used in hallways, galley kitchens, or other areas of the home where space is narrow, but long. Carpet runners are also used on stairs, but these models do not have the backing used on carpet runners for the floor. Area rugs and carpet runners can add a decorative element to hardwood floors while making them warmer and more comfortable to walk on. Carpet runners are a good choice if you want to protect your hardwood, tile or marble flooring. Rug runners with busy all-over pattern, that give the feel of a texture rather than a design, are a better choice for high traffic areas. When you need to match your carpet runner to other existing patterns, not all the colors in the carpet runner need to match the colors in your environment. At least one color in your rug runner should coordinate.

Carpet runners are constructed of high quality material and resist heal catching and carpet gathering common with inexpensive cloth and vinyl products. Carpet runners tend to fit nicely down the length of cabinet and counter space, providing both a cushioned area on which to stand when washing dishes or preparing food and a decorative touch. Carpet runners in the kitchen and stick to synthetic fibers that are easier to clean and can withstand water. It is best to have carpet runners for the stairs professionally installed. A poorly installed carpet runner on stairs poses a potential safety hazard, since tripping and falling is a serious concern.
