Is a 2x8 runner the right size?
A 2x8 runner fits most hallways, galley kitchens and entryways. Leave about 4 to 6 inches of floor showing on each side, and keep the runner a little shorter than the hall. Most runners here measure 2'3" x 8' or 2'6" x 8'; others run 2'3" x 7'6" to 7'10", plus a few narrower 1'10" x 7'6" runners. Labels are rounded, so check the listing before you order. Not sure about the length? Compare 2x8 vs 2x10 vs 3x8 runners or use the rug size guide.
Where a 2x8 runner works
Use it down a hallway, in front of the kitchen sink and counters, inside the front door, along the side of a bed, or behind a sofa. For stairs and landings, browse stair rugs.

How do you care for these rugs?
Synthetic pieces: vacuum weekly and spot clean with mild soap and water. For wool, turn off the beater bar when you vacuum and blot spills instead of rubbing. Jute and cotton fibers do best with frequent vacuuming and quick, dry blotting of spills. A non-slip rug pad keeps a runner from sliding and bunching in busy walkways.
