Runaway success

A hallway can sometimes be the part of the home that is often overlooked when it comes to interior design.  However, FrithRugs believes that selecting the right hallway runner is important – after all, this is the first ‘room’ in your home that visitors will see.  You know what people say about creating a first impression, so here’s our rug experts guide to finding the perfect hall runner and having a runaway success.

Sizing

It may seem obvious but make sure you choose the right sized hall runner.  By its very nature, the hall runner should have some of the original floor space showing either side – otherwise it’s become a rug rather than a runner!  Also, consider which way doors open – front doors will open in and so do you need to leave space for the door or is there enough gap for the runner?  Similarly, if you do have an internal door that opens out, even if it’s an under-stair cupboard, will it open over the rug or will you have to alter the door?

Your family

Do you have children?  How old are they?  If you have to keep drawing a toddler’s pushchair in and or of the hall, or your kids often bring the football team home after a match, or maybe you have a teenager who wheels their bike through the hall – then consider a darker, patterned rugger.  If you have animals, muddy paws will easily show on a light colour and so as much you may dream of a cream hall runner – it’s not going to happen.   Remember, if placing your rug on a hard surface you will need underlay to avoid trips and slips.

Shape

Selecting the right runner will also help define the space you have.  If you want to give the illusion of widening a hallway, opt for a runner in a single block of colour. If you want to add interest to a boring hallway, opt for a more details pattern   If you have a short space then a striped runner will make the space seem longer.   If you have busy walls, opt for a plain runner.

Fibre

It’s always best to choose a hallway runner from FrithRugs that offers durability and many of our products are made from 100% wool.  Although slightly more expensive, this warm, soft and easy to care for fibre will stand the test of time.   Or a man-made fibre such as polypropylene is also durable.

Choice

We have over 500 rug runners available which means you are sure to find a runner to suit your style and your home.  From classic Chinese designs, to Pakistani classics.  From Indian traditional patterns to modern designs that you won’t find anywhere else, you can be sure that FrithRugs offer the perfect runner for your hallways.  Start browsing at https://frithrugs.co.uk/products/ or call our rug experts on 01745 584404 – better still, pop into one of our outlets and see the collections for yourself.

Make neutral beautiful

Our Sophie collection makes neutral beautiful

Here at FrithRugs we love our bold, bright, colourful rugs but we also appreciate, that for many people, home should be a peaceful and tranquil retreat.  Sometimes all you need is neutral and that doesn't mean boring - have you seen our Sophie range?

Essentially, we have taken the idea of neutral and made it beautiful!   The collection features rugs with high/low pile which really brings life and character to the designs and makes them the ideal rug for both modern and traditional interiors.

The collection has taken a typical neutral colour palette of creams and beiges and added a unique twist by adding texture and pattern so that these rugs, while ensuring a calm and peaceful space - also add interest to the room.

To ensure the rest of the room maintains that peaceful environment keep your room tidy – physical clutter will impact on the mind and so make sure you create spaces where you can sweep anything you don’t need, out of the way.

Lighting is also a great mood enhancer so opt for lights that you can dim if possible and place lamps strategically around the room. 

Finally, add in some element of nature, whether that’s plants or fresh flowers – stones or pieces of wood in ornaments or furniture.

And ........ relax.
