Runners Country Area Rugs

Why A Country Runner Rug?

Do you need a country rug runner to complete your interior decor? We have hundreds of options, so there's something for every home.

The country runner rug is popular in homes around the globe. Rugs add character to your space, ground the decor, insulate against cold, and even dampen sound. In a hallway or entryway, their ability to add color, texture, and style while protecting the floor is invaluable. In a kitchen, these rugs can make the space more inviting while relieving joint discomfort from standing at the sink.

If you're still deciding how to use your country runner rug, check out these ideas below for inspiration:

• A pair of country style rug runners in an L-shaped kitchen can completely change your space. For smaller kitchens, a single runner will do the trick. Look for bright colors if your kitchen is mostly neutral, or neutrals if your kitchen is primarily decorated in color.
• Country braided rug runners are popular for entryways and other areas that see a lot of traffic. The braided texture?especially when paired with synthetic material?is resistant to ground-in dirt and easy to keep clean for most households.
• Richly colored primitive country rug runners can look excellent in the bedroom. Tribal designs blended with warm colors can give this area depth, personality, and a relaxing vibe. Consider placing one on both sides of the bed for all-around padding.

A Closer Look At Country Rug Runners

As we mentioned earlier, rugs have a way of insulating your home and reducing noise. This is one of the primary reasons they're recommended in hallways, which are often chilly with a loud echo caused by the small space.

Rugs also ground any decor you might have in your hallways, giving the furniture an anchor point and adding color.

Are Country Rug Runners Right For Me?

If you love country rug runners, look online to find other people who have used them in homes like yours. If you admire what you see, there's no reason not to treat yourself to a beautiful new decor piece. All that's left to do is define what you're looking for. The points below can get you started if you're not sure where to begin:

• Measure twice, purchase once. Buying the wrong sized rug is a common mistake that can be prevented with care. Measure your area, decide on rug dimensions, and then test those dimensions in masking tape to double-check yourself.
• Think about colors. There's nothing worse than a room full of clashing colors (unless you're decorating in boho style). Examine the palette of your existing decor and make a list of colors that would go well with what you have. Then pick one or two that you would like to use on the room's rug.
• Consider cleaning requirements. Natural materials can only stand up to so much moisture, soil, and traffic without being damaged. Think about what your country rug will be subjected to and search online for a material that'll be easy to keep clean regardless.
