How do I choose the right length?

Measure your hallway while leaving a uniform border of exposed floorboards visible around the edges. This frames the textile properly within the architectural space. Account for doorways and clearance requirements so that interior doors swing freely over the pile without catching on the edges.

Where should I place a runner?

These narrow formats work best in high-traffic transitional zones such as entrance halls, long corridors, and gallery landings. They soften footsteps and introduce warmth to timber floors. Avoid placing them in areas subject to excessive moisture unless adequate ventilation and underlays are maintained to protect the natural fibres.

How do I care for wool pile?

Vacuum the surface regularly using gentle suction without a rotating brush roll to prevent snagging the hand-knotted pile. Lift the rug periodically to clean underneath. Address spills immediately by blotting with a clean, dry cloth rather than rubbing, and consult a professional specialist for deep cleaning.

How do I identify tribal designs?

Tribal rugs usually display geometric motifs, bold medallions, and stylised animal or plant forms rather than precise, curvilinear court designs. These patterns reflect the specific heritage of regional groups like the Kazak, Baluch, or Kurdish weavers. Colour palettes in tribal pieces often lean towards earthy reds, blues, and ivories created from traditional dye sources.
