Narrow passageways are undoubtedly one of the most overlooked yet frequently used spaces in home decor. Hallways, entryways, or kitchen transitions can transform the entire atmosphere of a home when complemented with the right rug, both functionally and aesthetically. That's where hand-woven runner rugs come in!
What is a Runner and Why is It Important?
A runner is a type of rug specifically designed for narrow, long spaces. It serves both a floor protector and a decorative role at transitional points throughout the home. Because hand-woven runners are produced using traditional techniques, they are both durable and add authentic character to the space.
The Difference of Hand-Woven Runners
The runner models we offer as Soho Antiq are handwoven from completely natural wool yarns.
So what does this mean?
Long-lasting use: Hand-woven carpets last for years with their strong loop structure.
Natural material: Wool is both healthy and balances the ambient temperature during seasonal transitions, thanks to its breathable structure.
Aesthetic and cultural touch: Each pattern carries the cultural heritage of the region it belongs to.

What to Consider When Choosing a Runner?
1. Measurement: It's crucial to get the exact measurements of the area. The rug should cover the area but not overwhelm it.
2. Color and Pattern : If your space is small, light-colored and plainly patterned runners will create a sense of spaciousness. In wide hallways, darker tones and motif-based designs will create a bold atmosphere.
3. Thickness: Soho Antiq runner models have a thickness ranging from 1 to 3 cm, which increases both durability and foot comfort.
