How do I measure for a long corridor carpet?

Measure the clear floor space of your hallway, leaving a uniform margin of exposed floorboards or stone around the edges. Account for door clearance so that the pile thickness does not obstruct interior doors opening along the corridor. Take measurements at multiple points along the length, as older handmade runners can vary slightly in width from one end to the other. Allow sufficient clearance for skirting boards and radiators when selecting your dimensions.

Where should I place a narrow runner?

These elongated formats suit entrance halls, long upstairs landings and corridors where foot traffic benefits from acoustic softening and warmth. They also function effectively in galley kitchens or alongside large pieces of bedroom furniture. Position the textile centrally to create a defined pathway through the space. Ensure the surrounding floor treatment complements the regional palette of the weaving.

How do I care for an antique wool runner?

Vacuum the carpet gently using a suction-only attachment without a rotating brush bar to protect the delicate hand-knotted pile. Rotate the piece periodically to distribute foot traffic and sunlight exposure evenly across the surface. Use an appropriate underlay beneath the textile to prevent slipping and reduce friction between the foundation and the floor. Address any spills immediately by blotting with a clean cloth rather than rubbing the fibres.
