Flatweave Runner

Check out our range of flatweave runners to have a versatile and practical addition to home decor, offering both style and functionality. Let’s explore how to position, style, and care for your flatweave runner to enhance your living space.

Positioning at Home:

Flatweave runners are long and narrow, making them suitable for various areas within your home:

1. Hallways: One of the most common placements for a flatweave runner is in hallways. It adds warmth to these often overlooked spaces and can protect high-traffic areas from wear and tear.
2. Entryways: Placing a runner in the entryway welcomes guests while keeping dirt and debris from being tracked further into your home.
3. Kitchen: In the kitchen, a flatweave runner can soften the area around the sink or island. It provides comfort underfoot and can be a stylish addition to your culinary space.
4. Staircases: If you have a staircase, consider using a flatweave runner to add traction and a decorative touch.
5. Bedroom: In larger bedrooms, a flatweave runner can be positioned at the foot of the bed or along one side. This creates a cosy space to step into in the morning.

Styling:

Styling your flatweave runner involves making it harmonise with your existing decor and adding visual interest:

1. Colour Palette: Choose a runner that complements your room's colour palette. Neutral tones like beige, grey, or cream work well in various settings, while bolder colours can make a statement.
2. Pattern Choices: Flatweave runners come in an array of patterns, from stripes to geometric designs. Select a pattern that aligns with your style and complements your decor.
3. Furniture Placement: In hallways, ensure that your runner doesn't interfere with the swing of doors. In the kitchen or bedroom, place it under tables or beds, leaving a portion visible to define the space.
4. Layering: Consider layering your flatweave runner over a larger area rug to add depth and texture to your decor. This is especially effective in open-concept spaces.
5. Accessories: Accessories the area with decorative elements like wall art, cushions, or vases that echo the colours or patterns of the runner.

Cleaning Precautions:

Proper cleaning and maintenance are crucial to keep your flatweave runner looking its best:

1. Regular Vacuuming: Vacuum your runner regularly to remove dust and dirt. Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush or beater bar attachment, set to a low or gentle setting to avoid damaging the rug's fibres.
2. Rotate Periodically: To ensure even wear, rotate your runner every six months if it's in a high-traffic area. This helps distribute foot traffic and sunlight exposure evenly.
3. Immediate Stain Treatment: Attend spills promptly to prevent staining. Blot the affected area with a clean, dry cloth or paper towel. Avoid rubbing, as this can push the stain deeper into the fibres.
4. Professional Cleaning: Consider professional cleaning every one to two years, depending on usage and exposure. Professional cleaners have the expertise to deep-clean the runner and remove stubborn stains effectively.
5. Rug Pads: Place a rug pad beneath your flatweave runner to prevent slipping and protect your flooring. This additional layer also provides cushioning for added comfort.
