Area rug runners are used to add comfort, protection, and visual continuity in narrow spaces. In Victoria homes, they are commonly placed in hallways, staircases, kitchens, and entryways where foot traffic is concentrated.
Length, width, and backing all affect how a runner performs. Proper sizing helps prevent shifting and allows the runner to sit comfortably within the space without creating tripping points.
Understanding how the area is used helps narrow down runner options that suit both the layout and daily foot traffic.
