There's something about hallway runners
that manage to add just the right amount of decorative flare that's needed in
the average hallway. When many people
decorate their homes they don't usually spend much time on their hallways, if
they choose to spend any time decorating them at all. Some hallway walls may be adorned with a few
family pictures, a painting, and maybe a mirror if they're lucky. Many don't get the décor treatment that they
truly deserve, but a well-placed hallway runner can bring together any
hallway. Once you learn about the style
benefits of hallway runners, you'll be eager to buy one for your hallway of
choice.
Versatility With Décor
Your average sized area rug is almost always too wide for
any hallway, and those that do end up fitting can look very awkward and out of
place. Hallway runners have the added
benefit of working with virtually any kind of flooring material. Some people think runners are just for
hallways with hardwood floors, but hallway runners can also spice up tile
hallways and carpeted hallways.
The Perfect Amount of Decoration
Like rugs, hallway runners can come in a variety of
styles. You could choose to have a
runner that's made of thick shag carpeting, or you could have a thin runner
with a simple design. Some people choose
to forgo decorating their hallways because they think it'll look too cluttered
or overdone. Hallway runners manage to
add just the right amount of décor difference to hallways without overdoing
it.
Unlike other area and decorative rugs, you don't have to
worry as much about your runner clashing with the current décor scheme. A hallway runner with bold patterns or bright
colors rarely look out of place in hallways, since it's just a thin and
rectangular form of carpeting it doesn't take up a lot of décor space.
