Buy a Runner for Your Hallway to Make it Look its Best Placing an area rug on your hallway is not only decorative, but it will help to protect the floor underneath. It will protect bare feet feeling cold when walking across the floor, and provides some texture in the space. They protect wood floors from wear due to heavy use and creates a sound barrier. Be sure to measure your hallway before you start shopping for your area rug. Runners are available in several sizes, which can fit just about any hallway. If your hall happens to be long and narrow, you’ll want to find a runner that won’t overwhelm the space. A short, wide hallway will call for an area rug that will fill it up and look substantial. Be sure to allow about four inches of space from the walls so that your area rug fits perfectly in your hallway. If the hallway is dark, choose a light, coloured runner to brighten it up. You can choose a pattern or go with a plain area rug. Keep in mind that if the hallway gets a lot of traffic and you are particularly concerned about disguising dirt, a patterned rug will hide it more effectively than a plain one. The overall design of your home should be considered when making your choice as well. If the floor has a contemporary design, then the rug you choose should mirror this look with a graphic print or a damask. For a traditional wood floor, you may want to consider a braided rug or one with a floral pattern. Tony’s Flooring Centre has a number of area rugs in various sizes to choose from.
