Enhance your home with attractive and long lasting carpet runners

Long   and rectangular rugs often used in hallways, living rooms or any other room   in the house are called carpet runners. These are used where there is narrow   and long space thereby adding a decorative element to the wooden floor.   Placing carpet runners can also be very comfortable to walk on and also give   a warmer ambience, and at the same time prevent floor damage.

Carpet runners are excellent for the   kitchen too. They look quite nice and attractive if placed near the cabinet   or counter thus providing a cushioned feel while cooking or doing the dishes.   Make sure that carpet runners for the kitchen should be made of a synthetic   fiber instead of wool as they are generally easier to clean and can withstand   water. Such runners can be installed on the stairs too but this should be   always done by a professional to avoid any accident due to   tripping.

Carpet runners come in plenty of   versatile designs and materials that include both traditional and   contemporary. Cotton, polyester, wool, silk and jute are the fabrics   available but the most popular are the natural or synthetic fibers because of   their soft and durable nature. Silk runners can be used in low-traffic areas   while wool and other durable fibers can be used in the high traffic-areas.   Carpets are usually bought from home improvement stores by the foot. The   required length is cut and can be installed by you by following the instructions   or installation can be done by hiring a professional. Go for a runner that   suits the aesthetics of the space where it has to be placed.
