What is important in a designer runner?

The Hay Stripes and Stripes runners set extraordinary color accents

A design carpet runner can make an inviting first impression in any hallway or entrance area, can give a room structure and give a cozy feeling when you get out of bed in the morning. Carpets create a cozy atmosphere through foot warmth and their protective function is particularly important in entrance areas. A hard-wearing, easy-to-clean or washable carpet runner in the hallway prevents floors from being scratched or permanently soiled. A firm grip to prevent fall is created with the right anti-slip underlay. Contemporary, patterned or plain runners create cozy moments and set accents.


Stylish runners - Between minimalism and oriental patterns

The runner Veronica from Fabula Living relies on exciting colors and patterns

Designer runners come in different lengths and come in a variety of colours, finishes and patterns to give your home a unique look. Do you prefer a more minimalist or opulent design? Carpet runners with minimalist patterns such as curved lines or simple geometric motifs, as well as monochrome design runners that provide a clean, modern impression are ideal for all minimalists. Do you prefer an opulent interior design, or home textiles as a colour accent? Give your living room an oriental touch and choose a hallway rug, or a runner for the kitchen or hallway with appropriate oriental patterns. These runner also works very well as an elegant contrast to an otherwise minimalist interior.

Use carpet runners correctly

Designer runners are used in a variety of environments, and each environment has its own requirements and considerations: easy-care carpet runners provide a feeling of warmth and comfort in entrance areas or hallways while complimenting runners give bedrooms or kitchens a comfortable, cozy and stylish look. Whether on a light or dark floor, on floorboards, tiles or screed, when choosing the right runner, practical aspects such as length and material are primarily a matter of personal taste. As a general rule it is advisable to choose light-coloured runners for light-coloured floors and darker models for dark floors, as such underlines spatial perception and leaves freedom for colour accents. But sometimes it is also right to consciously focus on contrasts.
