Runner rug sizing is where most people get stuck. A rug that’s too short looks awkward, and a rug that’s too long can crowd your space.
Use this guide to pick the right size for bedrooms, hallways, and living areas—plus a quick measuring method before you buy.
| Use case | Recommended size | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Bedside stepping zone | 55×140 cm | Most versatile bedroom size |
| Hallway (medium) | 55×140 cm to 60×180 cm | Keep equal borders |
| Entryway (dry) | 50×120 cm to 60×180 cm | Avoid door scrape zones |
Measure fast (before buying)
- Measure available length and width.
- Leave 10–20 cm border from walls for a premium look.
- Mark the outline using tape to visualize.
- Check door clearance if near a doorway.
