Frequently Asked Questions
What size runner rug do I need for my hallway?
Runner rugs are usually 2–4 feet wide and 6–20 feet long, with common sizes like 3x9, 3x12, 3x15, and 3x20 feet. Measure the hallway and allow 4–6 inches of visible floor on each side for balance.
For sizing help, read our rug size guide or consider our design consultation services.
What materials are best for hallway runners?
Wool runners offer exceptional durability, natural stain resistance, and comfort for high-traffic areas. Silk adds luxury and sheen but requires more care. Cotton provides affordability and easy maintenance. Many runners blend wool and silk for beauty and durability. Browse our care guide for material-specific tips.
How do I keep my runner rug from sliding?
Use a quality rug pad designed for runners to prevent slipping and extend rug life. Pads add cushioning, protect floors, and keep runners secure. For optimal safety in hallways and stairs, invest in non-slip pads that match your runner's dimensions. Proper padding can reduce wear and improve comfort.
Can I use runner rugs on stairs?
Yes, runners work well on stairways, improving safety, protecting surfaces, and enhancing appearance when installed with rods or secure padding. Accurate measurements are essential, and our design consultation team can help select the right runner and installation method.

How do I clean and maintain a runner rug?
Vacuum regularly using a low-suction setting to remove dirt and debris. Rotate runners periodically to ensure even wear. Take a look at how to flatten a rug if you're dealing with wrinkles or curling. For deep cleaning, especially with antique or delicate materials, our professional services are available.
Are runner rugs good for high-traffic areas?
Absolutely. Hand-knotted wool runners suit high-traffic hallways, entryways, and corridors. Wool resists crushing and rebounds; rug pads and proper care extend lifespan. For commercial spaces, explore our hospitality services for high-performance options.
Can I order a custom-sized runner?
Yes, Apadana specializes in custom rugs tailored to your exact specifications. Choose your dimensions, colors, patterns, materials, and weaving technique. Schedule a design consultation to discuss your project and receive expert guidance on customization.
What's the difference between a runner and a regular rug?
Runners are long rugs for narrow spaces like hallways, entryways, and corridors. They usually measure 2–4 feet wide and 6–20 feet long. Regular rugs suit living rooms, bedrooms, and dining areas in various shapes, while runners define pathways and protect floors in transitional spaces.
Does Apadana offer runner rug rentals?
Yes, rug rentals are available for film, events, staging, and special projects across NY, NJ, and CT, with a wide range of runner styles. Trusted by clients such as HBO and Netflix, our service includes flexible terms and white-glove support for professional use.
