Description
This jute runner rug sets a warm, natural centre inside a neat grey border. It is hand braided from 100% jute, and the braid travels in rings around the middle, so the centre carries a quiet rectangular texture rather than a printed pattern. Jute is a plant fibre with a slight natural sheen, spun into strong threads, which is why a braided jute rug holds up well where people walk every day. It comes in one size, a 67 by 200cm runner.
A runner of this length suits a hallway or a landing, where it gives a long stretch of floor a defined path. It also works alongside a bed, so the first step of the morning lands on texture rather than bare boards. The grey border frames the natural jute and draws a clean line down each side, which keeps the look tidy in a contemporary home and sits easily with pale wood, painted floorboards or stone-coloured tiles. Because the centre is plain, it pairs well with patterned wallpaper or a busy run of pictures without competing for attention.
The runner is 1cm thick, so before you lay it in a hallway, check the gap beneath any door that opens across that spot. The hand braiding carries the same tight, even texture right out to the border. The maker's care is spot cleaning only. Jute takes up moisture readily, so keep this rug away from damp places such as bathrooms and basements. Measure your hallway or landing before you order, leaving a little bare floor at each end, and on a smooth floor lay an underlay first, which helps keep the runner in place.

Frequently Asked
Can this jute runner go in the washing machine?
No. The maker's care for this runner is spot cleaning only, and bleach, ammonia and other harsh cleaners should be kept well away, as they can damage the jute fibres.
Will this jute runner shed loose fibres?
Natural jute can let the odd loose fibre work free. The maker's advice is to snip it level with scissors rather than pull it, since pulling can start the braid unravelling.
Is the grey border made of jute too?
Yes. The whole runner is given as 100% jute, so the grey border is braided jute as well, framing the natural centre.
What makes jute a good fibre for a runner?
Beyond its hard-wearing braid, jute is a natural plant fibre, and the maker presents it as an environmentally friendly choice for covering your floor.
Will this runner fit a narrow hallway?
It is 67cm wide, so measure the width of your hallway first and aim to leave some bare floor showing along both sides of the grey border.
