Not Just for Hallways: Surprising Ways to Use Runner Rugs at Home

In the realm of decor, placing the accent in the right place matters more than its appearance. You may not like a rug, a vase, or a painting, but when you style it the right way, you come to realise its actual grace. Sometimes the shape of the accent can also impact its appearance. A shaped rug might look good on the floor, but better as a tapestry. It all depends upon your creativity; after all, there are no barriers to it. Talking about barriers, runner rugs also have none. These are universal, versatile, and the easiest to style accents. You have limited space, get a runner. You have extra space, get a runner. Irrespective of the area, a runner rug never fails you. 

At Obeetee, we understand the needs and demands of the customers. It has been observed that in the past decade, runners have become quite popular among contemporary Indian homes. Thus, on our e-commerce platform, you will find a detailed catalog of runner rugs. Each of these is unique, available in multiple constructions, designs, themes, and sizes, too. It is quite stereotypical that runners are associated with hallways. Further in this write-up, we’ll suggest some ideas that break this ideology of rugs x hallways. 

1.       The dining table- Many of us often keep our dining table covered with a mat. We say, use a runner instead. Adding both class and a royalty, your dining experience will be enhanced. This idea will also strike out as a statement, making a move to your guests, reflecting the creative and bold side of your personality. Complementing the same, you can place a rug under the dining table, making the space whole, giving out a ‘layered’ vibe.

2.       Create a ‘stairway to heaven’- Why place a runner in the place that is reading to the staircase when you can place it on the staircase? You and the visitors both will feel like walking on the red carpet while using the staircase. Visually, it will be a thing of beauty right in ghespace, and practically, it will be safer in case of mishap.

3.       The bedroom- 3 runners are better than one full-sized rug. Along with the liberty of creating a contrast, you get to convert your room into a sanctuary of peace, comfort, and beauty. Often people prefer getting a big-size rug to place under the bed as it covers all three sides. Technically,  this way, a part of the ug under the best gets wasted. With individual runners on all sides of the bed, you and your partner will not only get the rug of your choice, but the room will appear bigger because of multiple rugs.

4.       Make a pathway- Runners allow you to introduce transitions into your space. Instead of one hallway, multiple runners can be placed in different areas of the house, which transition from one room to another. This way, one will feel guided towards the room of the house he/she is going to.

5.       Layering- Layering rugs is an old concept. Layering different categories of rugs is a creative approach. On a solid, minimal rug, a bold and statement-making runner can be placed to balance out the theme. It will not only work as a great centerpiece but will also add mystery and uniqueness to the space.
