Crique Gray 2'2 x 8' Runner Rug

Standard runner rugs, like this 2'2" x 8' model, are specifically designed for high-traffic, narrow areas such as hallways, entryways, and kitchens. When placing a runner, our experts recommend leaving a few inches of bare floor space on either side to create visual definition. This 8-foot length is ideal for most standard hallways, providing a sophisticated path that protects your flooring while adding a modern, contemporary aesthetic.

For routine maintenance, we recommend regular vacuuming to remove dust and debris. Because polyester is a synthetic material, it is notably easy to spot-clean; our care guidelines suggest blotting spills immediately with a mild detergent and cool water. While larger area rugs in this collection feature a short fringe, this runner is specifically designed without it to ensure a sleeker, low-maintenance profile that won't get caught in vacuum brushes or create a tripping hazard.

To ensure safety in high-traffic areas, we highly recommend pairing your runner with a high-quality non-slip rug pad. A rug pad keeps the runner securely in place on smooth surfaces like hardwood, tile, or laminate. In addition to preventing slips, a pad provides extra underfoot cushioning and helps extend the life of the polyester fibers by reducing friction between the rug backing and the floor.

Absolutely. This rug features a light-toned color palette of gray, blue, and beige, which helps reflect light and open up narrow or dim corridors. The contemporary abstract pattern and silk-like sheen guide the eye along the length of the rug, creating an illusion of depth and making a small apartment hallway or transitional space feel more expansive and airy.

The Crique collection is an excellent choice for active households. The space-dyed polyester yarns are finished with a sheen that helps disguise pet hair and everyday dust between cleanings. Furthermore, the absence of fringe on the runner version makes it a safer, more durable option for homes with pets who might chew on tassels or for toddlers navigating busy hallways.

Yes. This rug is crafted from high-quality polyester yarns with a subtly ribbed, high-low pile. Polyester is a synthetic fiber known for its durability and inherent resistance to most stains, making it an exceptional choice for the heavy foot traffic typically found in entryways and transitional spaces. The high-low construction further helps to hide minor wear, ensuring the sophisticated abstract design maintains its integrity over time.

Beyond hallways, runner rugs are highly versatile. They are perfect for placing alongside a kitchen island to add comfort while cooking, or in a bedroom at the foot or side of the bed to provide a soft landing area. Because of its durable polyester construction, this runner also performs beautifully in mudrooms or entryways, effectively catching dirt before it reaches the rest of your home.
