Choosing a runner
Runners are long, narrow rugs for hallways, landings, kitchens and beside beds. As a guideline, choose a runner 10 to 15 cm narrower than the space on each side, and long enough to cover the main walking line without running under doors.
Choosing traditional and vintage-style rugs
Traditional and vintage-style rugs draw on Persian, Oriental and classic European designs, with medallions, borders and faded colourways. Distressed and overdyed looks blend well with modern furniture as well as period homes. The intricate patterns are very good at hiding spills and wear.
Care and cleaning
Vacuum regularly, ideally with a suction-only head or with the beater bar raised for deeper piles, and blot spills straight away from the outside in rather than rubbing. Always follow the care label on the product page, and test any cleaner on a hidden corner first. It is usually lighter and more affordable than wool and does not shed in the same way, but the pile can flatten in heavy traffic over time.

Where do traditional and vintage-style rugs work best?
