Eprey Gray 2'6 x 8' Runner Rug

This runner measures 2'6" wide by 8' long, which is a standard dimension designed to fit most residential hallways. It provides significant coverage for long transitional spaces while allowing for a few inches of floor visibility on either side, which helps define the walkway without making a narrow hall feel cramped.

Olefin is an exceptionally resilient synthetic fiber, making it an ideal choice for high-traffic areas like entryways or busy corridors. It is naturally resistant to moisture, staining, and fading. Because this rug is machine-made with a 0.5" pile height, it offers a sturdy surface that withstands heavy foot traffic while remaining thin enough to clear most standard door swings.

To ensure safety and longevity, we strongly recommend using a non-slip rug pad. In long hallways, runners can shift or bunch during use; a pad provides the necessary grip to keep the rug in place. Additionally, a pad acts as a protective buffer, preventing the rug's backing from scratching your hard flooring while providing a slight increase in underfoot comfort.

The "distressed" appearance of this rug is both a stylistic and a functional choice. By mimicking the aged look of a vintage handmade piece, the intentional color variations and "faded" spots are highly effective at masking minor spills, pet hair, and the general wear and tear that occurs in active households.

For routine maintenance, we recommend regular vacuuming to prevent dirt from settling into the fibers. Because olefin is an easy-care material, most spills can be effectively spot-cleaned with a mild detergent and water. The synthetic fibers are non-absorbent, meaning they dry quickly and are less prone to mold or mildew in more humid climates.

This rug features a traditional Oriental pattern updated with a contemporary gray and blue color palette. This makes it a "transitional" piece that bridges the gap between old-world elegance and modern minimalism. It is versatile enough to ground a classic room or add a touch of sophisticated pattern to a more neutral, modern apartment.
