Measure the usable path length and width, excluding door swings and obstacles. A runner should define the walkway without appearing wedged wall to wall.
Plan and measure
Leave a consistent strip of flooring visible along both sides. The exact border depends on corridor width and the visual effect you want.
Compare the practical options
For kitchens, position the runner around the working zone while maintaining cabinet and appliance clearance. For entryways, check the opening door.
Placement and proportion
Compare cotton, jute and other materials by feel, care and traffic needs. Do not assume any rug is non-slip; use an appropriate pad where needed.
Material and care checks
For unusually long, wide or L-shaped spaces, use the custom-size guidance and confirm the exact measurements before ordering.
