Two and a half metres long and 80 cm wide, roughly 2ft 7in by 8ft 2in. A runner rug 80x250 covers a flat hallway in one piece, from the front door to the kitchen.
All designs in this size are wool. Six oriental runners are knotted by hand in India and one plain runner is handwoven.
The runner rug 80x250 in the hallway
Hallways are rarely more than 1.20 m wide. With 80 cm you keep about 20 cm of floor on each side. Do not stand furniture on it.
Before ordering, measure from door to door and take off around thirty centimetres at each end. If you are left with a little over two and a half metres, this length works.
Oriental patterns or plain wool
Bakhtiar, Bidjar, Mir, Nain and Tabriz Mahi carry the classic oriental pattern, often in cream or red. Nain also comes in blue. In Mir, Nain and Tabriz Mahi the wool is hand-spun, and the slightly uneven shading shows most in a long hall with a window at the end.
The quiet option is Lui, handwoven wool in grey, taupe or white. It also looks good alongside a double bed.
Other lengths
A short hall takes the runner rug 80x200. Longer ones need the runner rug 80x300 or a long runner rug of 400 cm, and very long ones an extra long runner rug. In front of the worktop, see the kitchen runner range. Every length is on our runner rug page.
Frequently asked questions
Will it slip on tiles?
Without an underlay it can move. A non-slip strip the length of the runner holds it.
Are the oriental runners really hand-knotted?
Yes, according to the product pages all six are, in wool, in India.
Can it go in the kitchen?
It can, but wool does not like splashes. Blot them straight away.
What is the difference from 80 x 300?
Fifty centimetres of length. Measure the hall and subtract about 30 cm at each end.
Does it suit underfloor heating?
According to the product pages, yes.
