A runner rug solves the narrow-space problem that most area rugs cannot — it provides a soft, grounded surface for hallways, galley kitchens, entryways, and the long side of a bed without requiring the floor area an area rug demands. At Lulu and Georgia, the runner rugs collection brings together hand-knotted wool runners, natural jute and flatweave runners, performance and indoor/outdoor runners, and vintage and overdyed styles in standard and extra-long lengths — each chosen for the quality of the construction and the way the piece will hold up in the high-traffic spaces runners typically occupy.
What runner rugs does Lulu and Georgia carry?
The collection includes runners in standard lengths (2×6 through 2.5×8), medium lengths (2.5×10 and 3×10), and extra-long formats (2.5×12 and longer) for extended hallways. Construction options span hand-knotted wool for durability and patina, jute and natural fiber for organic texture, flatweave kilims and dhurries for low-profile installation, performance and indoor/outdoor rugs for kitchens and high-traffic entries, and vintage and overdyed styles. Most runners are available in multiple colorways within each pattern.
What size runner rug do I need for a hallway?
Measure the full length of the hallway and subtract 6-12 inches at each end — the runner should leave a visible margin of floor at the doorway and at the end of the hall. Width should leave 3-6 inches of floor visible on each side; most hallways take a 2.5 or 3 foot wide runner. For a galley kitchen, measure counter to counter and choose a runner that covers the primary work area; two runners side by side (one at the sink, one at the range) work better than one awkwardly long runner in kitchens with an island or break in the counter run.
What runner material works best in a high-traffic hallway?
Hand-knotted wool runners are the most durable and develop a patina over years of use that makes them look better rather than worse with time — they are the investment choice for a hallway that sees daily heavy traffic. Flatweave kilims and dhurries are durable, easy to clean, and lie flat without a pad. Performance and polypropylene runners are the practical choice for kitchens, mudrooms, and entries where spills and tracked-in dirt are the primary concern. Jute and natural fiber runners are appropriate for lower-traffic halls and bedside placement.
