Find the perfect hallway rug to transform your home

Hallway rugs are the first impression your guests get when they enter your home; they are the element that connects different rooms and have the ability to completely change the perception of your home. If you're thinking of renovating your hallways or simply want to give them that special touch they're missing, take a look at our catalog of hallway rugs. Improve your home's aesthetics, add functionality, protect the floor, and create a sense of continuity between different rooms with just one rug.

Before buying a hallway rug, you should think about how you're going to use it. Do you have a highly trafficked hallway where you constantly pass through? Or is it a quieter hallway connecting bedrooms? Do you need something easy to clean, or can you afford more delicate materials? Knowing the answer to these questions is key to narrowing down models until you find the hallway rug that works best in your home.

Features and specifications for unique rugs

At Atticgo, we have models that combine modern designs, durable materials, and accessible prices for everyone. Among the most outstanding features of this type of rug, we find:

• Wear resistance: The rug must withstand constant use without losing its original appearance. Our hallway rugs are more resistant to footsteps and friction wear.

• Structural stability: Being large rugs, by their very nature they weigh more and have more body, which makes the rug stay fixed to the floor, preventing it from moving when stepped on.

• Medium thickness: Determines the feeling we have when stepping on the rug. For hallways, the optimal thickness is between 6 and 12 millimeters. A thin rug detracts from the user experience in the hallway, making it less comfortable.

• Fiber density: A higher density implies that for each unit of measurement there is a greater number of fibers, so the rug better supports weight and foot traffic. For hallway rugs, look for densities greater than 100,000 points per square meter, although those with higher density have about 256,000 points per square meter.

Modern runner rugs for your home

Runner rugs are long and narrow hallway rugs, specifically designed for hallways with a certain shape. They offer elongated proportions that make them perfect for these spaces, as they cover the entire length of the hallway creating visual continuity.

Their designs range from minimalism and simplicity to more classic patterns that give the hallway much more personality. The colors are also very varied, and you can find sophisticated chromatic palettes and tones that adapt to current interior design trends. Although they are designed for hallways, many work perfectly in other spaces such as at the foot of the bed, the entrance of the house, and even as a decorative element in large living rooms. This versatility allows you to try different locations within the house.

Long hallway rugs, beautiful and functional

Length is, of course, the most important factor when we talk about rugs for long hallways. These rugs usually start at 2 meters and can reach up to 6 meters or more, depending on the needs of the space. The important thing is to find the length that best suits your hallway without the rug looking too short or excessively long.

Maintaining an adequate proportion between length and width improves the appearance of the hallway, giving it more visual balance. The width of the rug should be approximately one third of the total width of the hallway, leaving enough space on both sides for the floor to be visible.

If you know how to play with their designs, you can achieve spectacular results. Longitudinal patterns can make a hallway appear even longer, while transversal designs give a greater sense of width. Repetitive patterns work very well on long rugs because they create visual rhythm and prevent the design from becoming monotonous.

Advantages of hallway rugs

Still don't know the benefits of using hallway rugs in your home? We'll tell you why you should buy one right now:

• Protects the floor: Hallways are high-traffic areas where the floor suffers constant wear and tear from shoes rubbing and dragging boxes, shopping carts, etc. A rug for the hallway absorbs this wear and tear, keeping the floor in better condition, especially if your floor is wood, vinyl, or laminate, which can scratch more easily.

• Comfort in every step: The feeling of stepping on a cushioned surface is another advantage they offer. You won't have to walk on hard, cold, and uncomfortable floors anymore, and if you're one of those who walk barefoot at home, you'll notice the change even more.

• Less walking noise: If you're tired of hearing your shoes squeak against the floor, buying a hallway rug can be the best option to reduce the noise your footwear makes when you walk. Rugs absorb the sound of footsteps, reducing both the noise transmitted to other rooms and the sound transmitted to the floor below.

Measurements for different types of hallways

Choosing the correct measurements for your hallway rug is essential to achieve a result that is pleasing to the eye and at the same time functional. Each type of hallway has its own characteristics that determine the measurements of the rug. At Atticgo you can find rugs in standard measurements of 67-70cm wide and about 200 or 250 cm long.

3 and 4 meter hallway rugs

3 and 4 meter hallway rugs are designed for long hallways that connect several rooms in spacious homes. Their length allows for a greater visual impact, and it is important that their design does not become repetitive or boring, as a large piece could overload the room too much. The typical width is between 60 and 90 centimeters, although as we say, this will depend on the width of the hallway. Remember not to measure only the length of the hallway, but also to consider elements such as doors that open into the hallway, the location of radiators if you have them, or any other obstacle that interferes with the placement of the rug.

Also, keep in mind that these rugs are heavy and difficult to move. At Atticgo, we recommend choosing the materials carefully, thinking about the possibility of cleaning the rug without having to remove it so that its maintenance is as practical as possible.

What are hallway rugs made of?

The materials used in hallway rugs have evolved in recent times. Now it is common to see hallway rugs composed of a combination of both natural and synthetic fibers that resist intensive domestic use well. Synthetic fibers such as nylon, polypropylene, and polyester are increasingly present in the manufacturing of hallway rugs due to their exceptional wear resistance and ease of maintenance. On the back of the rug, the use of materials such as jute or polypropylene is common.

Get inspired with our hallway rugs

Transform your home with style and personality. Discover how a simple hallway rug can make a difference and bring your hallways to life. If you're looking to create a minimalist-style hallway, you should lean towards hallway rugs with clean lines, neutral colors, and subtle textures. Think about beige rugs, light gray, off-white, or cream, with simple geometric patterns or even completely plain designs. These rugs integrate perfectly into modern decor and create a sense of continuity and calm.

If you want your spaces to be warmer and more inviting, rugs with varied textures and earthy colors work perfectly. Terracotta or orange rugs, chocolate brown, green, or blue will give your hallway much more character.

How to take measurements before buying hallway rugs

A mistake when taking measurements for your hallway rug will almost certainly mean that it won't fit correctly. To avoid this situation, start by measuring the total length of the hallway from one side to the other longitudinally. You'll also need to consider the opening of doors and the width of the hallway. Measure the total width of the hallway and then calculate how much space you want to leave on each side. Our recommendation is to leave a maximum of between 15 and 25 centimeters of visible floor on each side.

If your hallway connects different rooms with different types of flooring, you should consider how the transition between them will look. Sometimes it's better for the rug to end a few centimeters before the change in flooring for a cleaner transition.

Our advice: If you've taken measurements and still have doubts, we recommend that the rug be slightly shorter rather than too long.

Maintenance of hallway rugs

Preventive maintenance of rugs is always better than corrective maintenance, and since these rugs are in high-traffic areas, they need more attention and regular care. Vacuuming two to three times a week is sufficient; slowly pass the vacuum nozzle to suction more dirt, paying special attention to the areas that are most stepped on, which coincide with the center of the rug.

When you want to do a deep cleaning, use a rug cleaning machine that will help you clean the fibers thoroughly. You'll see how stains and odors gradually disappear and, after a few minutes, you'll start to see your rug return to its usual appearance. In addition, as much as possible, protect the rug from direct sunlight, as UV rays accelerate the fading process.

Frequently asked questions about rugs

What is the difference between a hallway rug and a runner rug?

Both terms are often used interchangeably, but technically a runner rug has a more elongated and stylized design, ideal for narrow hallways.

Can I cut a hallway rug by the meter to the size I need?

Yes, hallway rugs by the meter are designed to adapt to different lengths, according to your needs and those of your home.

How long is a standard hallway rug?

The most common measurements are 60 cm to 80 cm wide, and 2 to 4 meters long.

Where should I place a hallway rug at home?

Hallway rugs are placed in hallways that connect several rooms or in entrances and foyers, although in that case, an entryway rug might fit better.

How can I prevent the edges of a hallway rug from curling?

To prevent a rug from curling, place weights on the corners for a few hours. You can also use double-sided tape to adhere the edge to the floor and choose hallway rugs with reinforced or stitched edges.
