Using a 2x6 Rug

A 2x6 rug is a runner style that's long and narrow, perfect for walkways and small spaces. These beauties will protect the most heavily trafficked floors in your home, keeping them in good condition for years to come.

Below, we've highlighted some of our favorite ideas for using a 2x6 runner in the home. Keep reading if you'd like more inspiration before you buy.

Living Room or Entryway

The living room and entryway tend to be the busiest spaces in the home. If your home is exposed to high levels of moisture, soil, shoe traffic, or UV rays during any season, we recommend a durable option that's easy to clean.

You might opt for a 2x6 outdoor rug or a 2x6 washable rug. If you opt for the 2x6 outdoor runner, look for indoor/outdoor materials with a soft handfeel, and your guests will be none the wiser.

Bathroom

Long and narrow bathrooms, particularly half bath spaces, can work beautifully with a 2x6 bathroom rug. The rug will cover the area from the counter to the toilet in most layouts, but you'll want to measure your space to be sure.

Bedroom

Try framing your bed with runners or placing a runner between two twin beds for affordable coverage. For example, you might try a 2x6 boho rug on either side of a queen bed, with a 4x6 at the foot of the bed.

What's Next?

Rug shopping is exciting, and you're probably eager to pick the best 2x6 runner for your home. Before you buy, though, check out the tips below to help avoid common buyer's mistakes and find a rug that meets your needs:

• Measure Carefully: Choose the perfect rug dimensions based on the measurements of your room. The general rule of thumb is to keep 24 inches between the rug's edges and your walls. You can reduce the border to 18 or 12 inches if you're working with a small space.
• Consider Durability: Pick a material that can stand up to your home, with cleaning requirements that you can meet. For example, if you have a high traffic space and a busy household, consider a durable, easy-care rug that you can clean from home.
• Get a Rug Pad: Pads prevent sliding and are essential for runner rugs. Add a pad to the cart with your new 2x6 rug to protect both the backing and the pile from early signs of wear. Pads can add years to the life of your rug.

Shop for sizes similar to 2x6 area rugs such as 24x48, 24x60, 2x7 Runners, 2x8 Runners, and 30x50.
