If your home has colors like white, cream, black, grey, tan, and brown, to name a few, you should be able to use a yellow or gold runner rug to superb effect.

The following inspiration ideas can help you understand how a professional might use a yellow runner rug:

• A blue and yellow runner rug connecting bedrooms down a long hallway. You might find this rug in a contemporary or eclectic style home.
• A yellow bathroom runner rug in a space that doesn't receive much natural sunlight. A yellow rug can work in most bathrooms with bright decor.
• A yellow chevron runner rug in the entryway of a shabby chic home with primarily white and grey decor. The chevron pattern would look good in white or grey. If you want a more toned down look, opt for a mustard yellow runner.

If you want a yellow or gold runner rug, you have excellent taste! This is a bold color, though, so use a color picker tool to make sure yellow will fit with your home's existing scheme. Play with different tones, tints, and shades of yellow or gold to find the right one for your rug. Adding grey, white, and other colors can also help it fit.

Once you've decided on the right color of yellow, think about adding a pattern. Most hallways won't have existing patterns, which leaves you wide open to include any design you like on the rug. Patterned runner rugs are popular choices in the interior design world.

Choosing The Perfect Yellow Runner Rug

Enter your size, style, thickness, and material preferences in the search filters to narrow the hundreds of results to a more manageable number. Then compare your top picks to find the perfect runner for your space. The most important part is that you love your rug!

Rug pads are particularly useful for runners, as they keep them from sliding around the hallway. A quality pad also makes the surface softer to walk on, so don't forget to add one during checkout!
