You’ll walk confidently on your new carpet runner from House, Home and More! Thanks to its non-slip rubber backing, this runner won’t bunch up or shift under your feet. Your household will appreciate the added security in your walking spaces, especially older adults. Our carpet runners protect and add comfort to your hardwood or tile floors and help muffle sound throughout your home. WHERE DO RUNNER RUGS GO? Carpet runners are perfect for high-traffic areas like hallways, entryways and kitchens. Furniture isn’t traditionally placed on top of runners. If you’re placing your runner in a hallway with furniture, choose a width that allows you to move the furniture to one side of the hallway without resting on top of the runner. Narrow kitchens are ideal living spaces for runners. Time spent at the stove or cleaning up at the sink is more enjoyable with a carpet runner under your feet. Bringing runners into your bedroom provides warmth and comfort, especially on hard floors. If you’re placing runners at the sides and/or foot of your bed, you want to cover the length of the bed, outside of accent furniture like nightstands. ARE CARPET RUNNERS PET FRIENDLY? Our carpet runners offer stability and a cozy place for your pets to rest. The non-slip backing adds traction and helps to create a secure environment for your dogs, cats and other pets. Walking on slippery wood or tile floors can be cumbersome and frightening for senior dogs and cats. The soft surface of a runner will keep their paws comfy while the added traction allows them to move with confidence. If you have pets, you may want to consider a color or design that won’t showcase their shedding. HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR CARPET RUNNER: Our carpet runners feature a non-slip rubber backing which helps to keep them in place while vacuuming, but can become damaged if put into a washing machine. When your runner needs cleaning, we recommend vacuuming to remove surface dirt and spot cleaning areas that need extra care.
