Description
Delmenne is a sisal runner rug in light beige, framed by a mocha border that gives it a crisp, finished outline. Its surface is a looped bouclé weave, set in neat rows of small loops that give a plain colour a gentle, nubbly texture. The fibre blend is 49% sisal, 41% wool and 10% polyester. Sisal brings a firm, natural character, and the maker tells us the wool softens the feel underfoot a little while helping the loops recover well. It comes in one size, a 67 by 200cm runner.
That long, narrow shape suits a hallway or a landing, and it also works along the side of a bed, where you want something kinder than bare boards first thing. Light beige keeps a narrow space feeling open, while the darker mocha border frames the rug against wooden floors or tiles, so it looks deliberate rather than lost. The quiet colours sit happily with most schemes. Please keep it to dry rooms: the maker's advice is to keep it out of the wet, so a bathroom is not the place for this runner.
Our care advice comes straight from the maker. Vacuum regularly with the standard floor tool, working in one direction rather than back and forth. For a serious spill or stain, the maker recommends professional cleaning. To store or move the runner, roll it and never fold it, since a fold can leave a crease. Before you order, measure your hallway or landing and allow a strip of bare floor at each end so the border has room to show. Check the gap beneath any door that opens across it, and on a smooth floor such as wood or tiles, an underlay helps keep the runner in place.

Frequently Asked
What does bouclé mean on a rug?
Bouclé is a French word meaning curled or looped, and here it describes the weave itself: the surface is made of small loops of yarn, and those loops give it its nubbly texture.
Will a 67 by 200cm runner fit my hallway?
Measure the width as well as the length: the runner is 67cm wide and 200cm long, so it suits a hallway or landing comfortably wider than 67cm, leaving a little bare floor along each side to set off the mocha border.
Is it hard wearing enough for a busy hallway?
The maker describes this design as strong and durable, and says the wool in the blend keeps the loops resilient, so it is a sensible choice for a hallway that sees daily footfall.
Can I put this runner in a kitchen?
We would keep it well clear of the sink, because the maker advises keeping the rug away from the wet and recommends professional cleaning for serious spills, which a kitchen tends to produce.
What colour is the mocha border?
Mocha is a warm, mid to dark brown, several shades deeper than the light beige centre, so the border reads clearly against the main field and frames it neatly.
