Verlee Blue 2' x 7' Runner Rug

This visual shift is a characteristic of polypropylene construction and how it interacts with light. Depending on the lighting in your home and your viewing angle, the shades of blue and ivory may appear lighter or more saturated. This adds a dynamic sense of depth and authentic elegance to the traditional design, allowing the rug's appearance to subtly evolve throughout the day as natural light changes.

Polypropylene is a resilient synthetic fiber specifically engineered for durability and ease of care. In high-traffic zones like hallways or entryways, it resists wear while remaining soft underfoot. Because the material is naturally moisture-resistant, it also handles spills and humidity effectively, making it a practical, high-performance choice for busy households or homes in coastal climates.

Thanks to its polypropylene construction, this rug is remarkably easy to maintain. Based on our furniture care expertise, we recommend regular vacuuming to remove surface debris and prevent dirt from settling into the fibers. For everyday messes, you can spot-clean using a mild detergent and cool water. For a deeper refresh, synthetic rugs of this type can be steam-cleaned as needed to preserve the vibrancy of the intricate blue and ivory details.

Yes, this runner is an excellent choice for active families. The durable synthetic fibers are resistant to snagging from pet claws and can withstand the heavy foot traffic common in family homes. To ensure maximum safety, especially on smooth surfaces like hardwood or tile, we recommend pairing the rug with a non-skid rug pad to keep it securely in place and prevent sliding.

Absolutely. While often used in hallways, narrow runners are versatile enough for kitchens, entryways, or even alongside a bed. In a kitchen, a runner provides a soft, cushioned landing for your feet while working at the sink or island. Its 7-foot length is also ideal for defining transitional areas or "zones" in open-concept floor plans, adding a layer of style and floor protection to narrow paths.

To create a balanced look, we recommend leaving about 2 to 3 inches of visible flooring on all sides of your rug. This 2' x 7' runner is designed for standard hallways, providing enough length to guide movement through the home without overwhelming the space. When measuring your walkway, also consider door clearances; this rug's low-profile construction is ideal for ensuring that doors can swing open and closed without getting caught.
