Cleona Dark Brown 2' x 7' Runner Rug

Yes, we highly recommend pairing this runner with a non-slip rug pad. Because runners are typically placed on smooth surfaces like hardwood or tile in narrow walkways, a rug pad is essential for preventing sliding and keeping the rug securely in place. Additionally, a pad provides extra cushioning, which further enhances the luxurious, soft feel of the shag pile.

This rug is power-loomed with high-quality polypropylene yarns, making it exceptionally resilient for busy transitional spaces. Synthetic fibers are preferred for high-traffic areas because they are naturally resistant to crushing and maintain their lush texture even with frequent use. The durable power-loomed construction ensures the rug stays beautiful and intact year after year.

One of the hallmark benefits of power-loomed synthetic rugs is that they are virtually non-shedding. Unlike natural wool shag rugs that can lose fibers over time, these durable synthetic yarns are securely locked into the backing. This ensures your home stays cleaner while the rug retains its posh, voluminous texture for the long term.

Absolutely. At 2' wide, this runner is designed to fit comfortably in compact apartment halls or narrow galley kitchens without overwhelming the footprint. The dark brown palette is a strategic choice for urban living; it adds a cozy, grounded feel to modern interiors while effectively hiding the dust and foot traffic common in busy entryways.

This rug is an excellent choice for pet owners. Polypropylene is inherently pet-friendly because the tight weave of synthetic fibers is resistant to snagging from claws. Furthermore, because the material is moisture-resistant, it does not absorb odors or liquids as easily as natural fibers, allowing for quick cleanup of pet-related messes. The rich, dark color also helps to disguise pet hair between regular vacuuming.

Maintaining a synthetic shag rug is straightforward. We recommend vacuuming regularly using a high-pile setting (ideally without a beater bar) to keep the fibers lifted and free of debris. For spills, our care guide suggests blotting immediately with a mild detergent and cool water. Polypropylene is moisture-resistant and less porous than natural fibers, making it much easier to spot-clean and maintain in high-use areas.
