Which runner size best fits your hallway, kitchen, or corridor?

A runner is the perfect way to give a hallway, corridor, or kitchen a warm and stylish look. But which size should you choose? A runner that is too short often looks lost, while one that is too long won't fit beautifully into the space.

In this guide, you'll discover the most common runner dimensions in the Netherlands, for which spaces they are suitable, and which non-slip mat best suits each size.

Why is the correct runner size important?

A well-chosen runner provides more ambiance and comfort. Additionally, a runner protects the floor from wear and tear and dampens walking noise.

To ensure the runner stays neatly in place, a suitable non-slip mat is indispensable.

Why use a non-slip mat under a runner?

Runners tend to shift more easily than regular rugs because they are narrow and are used intensively.

A non-slip mat:

  • reduces shifting;
  • helps prevent curling corners;
  • increases safety;
  • protects the floor;
  • extends the life of the runner.

What width non-slip mat do you need?

For runners, these widths are particularly suitable:

Choose the length that best suits your runner. If a small adjustment is needed, you can easily cut the non-slip mat to size yourself.
