What are runner rugs?
Runner rugs refer to a specific shape of rugs, that are much longer than they are wide. While runner rugs are rectangular, they are distinguished from area rugs that have different proportions.
For example, a 8′ x 10′, a 9′ x 12′ or a 10′ x 14′ standard-size rugs would be considered as area rugs, while 3′ x 8′, a 3′ x 10′ or a 3′ x 12′ rug would be considered as runner rugs. Notice the much bigger difference in the size of the two sizes. Also note that runner rugs are usually not wider than 3′ or 120cm.
Where should you place Safavieh runner rugs?
Due to their specific aspect ratio, there are a few places, where runner rugs seem like the natural and obvious choice. Entryways and hallways are one of these, especially since more often than not, these rooms are also relatively narrow and long spaces. You can also place runner rugs to the sides of the bed in your bedroom, or (depending on layout) in your kitchen.
What are Safavieh runner rug sizes?
Runner rugs are usually 3 feet wide, or less. Their length might vary, but standard sizes are 3′ x 6′, 3′ x 8′, 3′ x 10′, 3′ x 12′.
While these are the standard sizes, none of these are exclusive, so you might run into different, even unique or custom sizes.
If these are runner rugs, why do I see pictures of area rugs?
Safavieh Rugs is one of the most popular major rug brands out there, and their most popular designs are sold in multiple colors and sizes. These sizes cover different aspect ratios as well, so the rug you see as a rectangular, area rug, might also be available as a runner rug, a round, or a square rug as well. Product images are for illustrational purposes. In some cases, if you click over to the vendor’s page for details, you can see additional images of other variations, including different colors and sizes.
