Runner Rugs

For most hallways, a runner that covers 2/3 of the floor length works best - leaving 4–6 inches of bare floor on each side. Standard runner sizes range from 2x6 to 2x10 feet. Measure your space before buying. A runner that's too short makes a hallway feel unfinished.

Yes - handwoven wool Moroccan runners are naturally dense and durable, built to handle daily foot traffic without flattening or fading. Wool fibers are resilient by nature. The Moroccan runner rugs at LoomSouk are made from 100% natural Atlas Mountain wool, which only gets softer with use.

Yes. Runners are one of the best stair treatments - they protect the wood, reduce noise, and add serious visual impact. For stairs, look for a runner with a low to medium pile so it lies flat and stays secure. A non-slip pad underneath is always recommended.

Use a quality non-slip rug pad cut to size beneath the runner. For extra security on stairs, stair rods or carpet tape work well. Wool runners naturally have some grip due to their weight and density - but a pad is still the safest option on smooth hardwood or tile.

A standard runner is typically machine-made, uniform, and designed purely for function. A Moroccan runner is handwoven by Berber artisans using traditional geometric patterns passed down for generations. No two are identical. The irregularities in pattern and texture aren't imperfections - they're proof it was made by a person, not a machine.

Vacuum regularly without the beater bar to protect the fibers. Blot spills immediately - never rub. For deeper cleaning, spot clean with cold water and mild soap, then air dry flat. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading. Rotate the runner every few months to ensure even wear. With basic care, a handwoven wool runner lasts decades.
