Why You'll Love Solid Color Runner Rugs
Accent your home with solid color runner rugs. Pottery Barn has an assortment of indoor and outdoor runners in lots of shades and hues to coordinate with your furnishings and decorative accents. There are plenty of durable options, whether you prefer a wool rug or one made from synthetic materials.
Types of Solid Color Runner Rugs
There's a runner to suit every home. If you like the plush softness of a shag rug, consider the Dalton rug. It's hand-loomed from New Zealand wool that's been twisted and felted for a luxurious look and feel. The backing of this rug is 100 percent cotton and synthetic latex, which doesn't have an odor or trigger latex allergies. Another shag rug is the Jaimme style, which is made from 100 percent yarn-dyed wool for enduring beauty.
If you want a tufted runner with an elegant border, check out the Emilia Custom rug. This wool runner is adorned with a Grecian-inspired border, with yarn-dyed fibers for fade-resistant color. Although it's not completely solid in color, the border is understated in appearance. This rug has a cotton and synthetic latex backing, and it comes in colors ranging from light to dark.
Another option is a chunky wool and jute runner rug in a versatile neutral color. Jute is a sustainable natural material prized for its durability and natural beauty. The wool/jute rugs at Pottery Barn are handcrafted by weaving jute over a wool base. The result is a fashionable floor covering that withstands plenty of foot traffic.
You might also want to consider a sisal runner for your home. Like jute, sisal is a sustainably-sourced, eco-friendly material. It's also stain-resistant and easy to maintain. A sisal runner is great for busy areas of your home or anywhere you want to impart a fresh, natural look.
There are synthetic rugs at Pottery Barn made from polypropylene, which is also called olefin. Check out the Capel® indoor/outdoor runners, which are trimmed with Sunbrella® acrylic for even more durability. Both olefin and acrylic are resistant to mold, mildew, staining and fading. You can leave this rug outside on the patio because it's made to stand up to the elements.
Where to Place Runner Rugs
Solid color runner rugs are traditionally used in the hallway, but that's not the only place you can put them. You could position a runner rug at the foot of the bed, or place one in the kitchen on the floor in front of the sink. They're also good for adding visual interest to walk-in closets, and you can even use them on the stairs. No matter where you place your runner rug, make sure to use a rug pad underneath to prevent it from slipping.
