Pasadena Heights Navy 2'3 x 8 Runner Rug

With a width of 2'3" and a length of 8', this runner is designed to fit standard residential hallways and transitional spaces. To achieve a professional, balanced look, we recommend following the "rule of margins" by leaving roughly 2 to 4 inches of visible flooring on either side of the rug. This prevents the space from feeling cramped while clearly defining the walkway.

Based on our expertise with natural fibers, the most important maintenance step is regular vacuuming to prevent dirt from settling deep into the weave. For accidental spills, prompt action is key: blot the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth and use only cool water with a mild detergent if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals, as they can damage the natural lanolin in the wool. For a deep refresh, periodic professional cleaning is recommended to maintain the vibrancy of the navy and ivory plaid pattern.

This runner is an excellent choice for busy thoroughfares like hallways or entryways. Handwoven from 100% natural wool fibers, it leverages the inherent resilience of wool, which is naturally elastic and capable of "springing back" after being compressed by foot traffic. Furthermore, wool contains natural oils that provide a light, built-in resistance to staining and soiling, making it a premier material for long-lasting durability in active households.

For safety and to extend the life of your rug, we strongly recommend using a high-quality rug pad underneath. In regions like Florida and Texas where hardwood and tile floors are common, a non-slip pad is essential to keep the runner securely anchored, preventing dangerous bunching or sliding. Additionally, a pad provides extra cushioning and protects the handwoven wool fibers from the friction of the hard subfloor.

This rug is particularly well-suited for active families. The sophisticated tartan plaid pattern in shades of navy, gray, and ivory is not only a timeless design staple but is also highly practical for masking common "lived-in" debris like pet hair or minor tracking. The multi-tonal weave provides a visual depth that hides wear much more effectively than a solid-colored rug, ensuring your decor remains "well-dressed" even between cleanings.

While wool is highly durable and breathable, it is best suited for indoor environments. In humid coastal regions like the Southeast, wool's natural ability to manage moisture is a benefit; however, we recommend placing it in a covered or interior entryway rather than an area directly exposed to the elements. For those in sandy or rainy climates, this rug acts as a high-quality "trap" for fine particles, protecting the rest of your home's flooring from abrasive debris.
