A white Lui runner next to a dark wooden bed frame, with grey bedside tables and linen in sand tones, keeps the bedroom light. Simple, but it works.

The white Lui runner beside the bed and in the hall

Its short pile makes it a low pile rug that lies flat by the bed, where the first step of the day lands on wool. Plain short pile rugs like this also suit a hallway runner spot, and as a hall runner it keeps the walkway clear and calm. Among our runner rugs the white Lui is a bright plain option. Over underfloor heating it lies well. Being handmade, it can differ slightly from the listed size, so measure up before choosing.

White Lui wool, woven by hand

Its pile is pure wool, 100%, on a back of wool. Weavers in India made it by hand, with warp and weft building the structure that holds the short pile. It shares that pure wool with jaloom's wool rugs.

Keeping the white Lui runner clean

A slightly smaller underlay keeps the white runner from creeping. Blot spills at once with a light cloth from the outside in, without rubbing, as our care guide explains. Regular vacuuming matters in the first weeks, while the new wool still lets go of loose fibres.
