What should you consider when choosing a hallway rug?

A hallway rug needs to withstand daily use while complementing the layout of the hall. Size, material, and thickness are important factors to take into account, especially in entryways where there is a lot of foot traffic or where doors need to be able to open over the rug.

A flat-woven rug or a model with a low pile can be a practical choice in a well-used hallway. Also, consider the placement of the rug in relation to doors and furniture, and use an anti-slip underlay if necessary.

What size hallway rug should you choose?

The size of the hallway rug should be adapted to the room's proportions and how the space is used. In a smaller hallway, an 80x150 cm rug can be a good option, while 80x250 cm fits many longer entryways and corridors.

For a long or narrow hallway, an 80x300 cm hallway rug can create a cohesive look while protecting the floor along the passage. If the standard sizes do not fit, there is also the option to order selected models custom-made to the dimensions of your hallway.

Which material is best for a hallway rug?

Wool is a durable natural material that is well-suited for hallway rugs. The natural resilience of the wool fibers allows the rug to recover after being walked on, while its dirt-repellent properties facilitate daily maintenance.

A jute hallway rug has a firmer and coarser texture with a natural aesthetic. The choice of material affects both the feel of the rug and how it performs in the hallway, and should be adapted to how the room is used.

What color should you choose for a hallway rug?

Color and pattern affect both the look of the hallway and how visible everyday dirt becomes. Neutral shades like beige, gray, and brown are easy to combine with different floors and interior styles, while a patterned hallway rug can add more character.

In an entryway with a lot of movement, mottled or patterned rugs can be a practical option, as grit and minor marks are often less noticeable on a varied surface.

Can you order a custom-sized hallway rug?

Yes, several of Classic Collection’s rugs can be made to order. This provides the opportunity to adjust the rug’s length and width according to the hallway’s proportions, especially in narrow corridors, long passages, or entryways with unusual dimensions.

The possibility of custom ordering varies between different series and is indicated on each respective product page.

What is the difference between a hallway rug and a doormat?

A doormat is usually placed directly inside the front door and its primary task is to collect dirt and moisture from shoes. A hallway rug often covers a larger part of the floor area and contributes both to protecting the floor and creating a cohesive impression in the entryway.

In a larger hallway, the two can complement each other, with a doormatclosest to the entrance and a hallway rug further into the room.

How do you care for a hallway rug?

• Vacuum regularly.Remove grit and dirt that could otherwise wear down the rug's fibers.
• Remove stains immediately.Blot up spills and treat stains gently with a cleaning method adapted to the rug's material.
• Rotate the rug.By changing the rug's position at regular intervals, wear can be distributed more evenly.
