Pink softens a white bedroom and warms up a grey one. The pink Gabbeh Uni runner keeps to one gentle shade along its whole length, so it sits quietly next to patterned bedding or plain painted walls.

The pink runner in a hallway

In a hall, a runner frames the walkway. Leave a strip of floor towards the walls and in front of doors so they can open freely, and advice on rug sizes helps you find a length that does that. On smooth tiles or boards, an underlay keeps it still. Its low pile stays flat.

Pink wool beside the bed

Next to the bed, the pink Uni gives your feet wool to land on in the morning, which is why we list it among our bedroom rugs. Its pile is 100% wool and the backing is wool as well, woven by hand in India, so it belongs with our wool rugs. Handmade lengths can vary slightly. Warm floors with underfloor heating suit it.

Keeping the pink Uni runner clean

The care guide puts quick blotting first for the pink runner, pressing a light cloth from the rim towards the centre and never rubbing. Some loose fibres at the start are normal for new wool and ease off with vacuuming. Should a single strand stand proud, cut it back with scissors instead of pulling.
