Rug Runners, Et Cetera

Over the years area rug runners have changed quite a bit. There was once a time when they were nothing more than a piece of carpet that you could throw somewhere to cover up an ugly patch on the floor or under the dining room table. Rug runners have evolved into small designer rugs that serve as accent pieces in a well decorated room! They come in a huge variety of designs and color schemes with the most common being solid colors in warm tones.

The bathroom is often a neglected room in the house, and it should never be! The area rug runner in the bathroom is more for function than style, but a good one can realty liven up the room! Bathroom floors are often made of ceramic tiles or vinyl and they tend to get a lot of wear. An area rug from the door leading inside the bathroom or one placed in front of the sink is a good choice.

The master bedroom usually represents your "kingdom" and so an area rug there should match your style and taste. If you have bright colors in your room, an area rug that is brown or somewhat darker could make the room appear larger. The area rug runner in the master bedroom is only useful if you have hardwood floors or laminate flooring.

Placing an area rug runner in a hallway is fabulous for both design and functionality. Your hallway is usually the most traveled area of the home. If you have hardwood floors then you will want to protect them as much as you possibly can, without having to cover them up completely. Area rug runners in the hallway can be as basic as you want them to be. If the hallway is long, then your choice may be limited but there is no reason why you couldn't use more than one area rug in the hallway. The primary rug to purchase for the hallway is a long rectangular one several inches smaller in width than the hallway.

This area tends to be the most frequently used room of the house, so the area rug runner that you select for the living room, is typically more for function with some exceptions. An oval or square rug that matches the tone of the room is most appropriate and usually placed under a coffee table. Many doors to the home open to the living room. Placing an area rug runner that has been treated to protect from spills and stains at the door will protect your floor and other rugs from the elements that can be tracked in from outside.
