Description
Fralbine is a low pile runner with a marble effect abstract design in our Mist colourway: a pale cream ground clouded with soft beige, crossed by fine, broken veins that run mostly along its length. Up close, the paler strands catch the light against the beige, giving the surface a textured look with a soft sheen. The maker describes the feel as soft, and the low pile keeps it smooth and neat underfoot. The pile is 100% polyester, and the runner comes in one size: a 67 by 230cm runner, shaped for a long, narrow space where a full rug would crowd the floor.
A runner of this length is made for a hallway or a landing, and it sits just as well along the side of a bed, giving you something soft to step onto first thing in the morning. The cream and beige are quiet enough to work with pale wood, painted floorboards or stone coloured tiles, and with walls in warm whites or soft grey, so the runner adds warmth underfoot without competing with pictures, a console table or a patterned stair carpet. The broken veining keeps it from looking plain, which suits anyone who wants a little pattern in a narrow space but would find a bold design too busy.
The runner is 9mm thick, so check the gap under any door that opens across it. For everyday care, the maker asks you to blot a spill straight away with a clean, dry cloth or sponge. The maker also recommends an underlay on every kind of floor: it adds cushioning, helps the runner wear well and helps keep it in place on a smooth surface such as wood, laminate or tile. Before you order, measure your hallway or landing and allow a strip of bare floor along each side, so the runner sits centred with an even margin.

Frequently Asked
What is the best way to vacuum this runner?
The maker advises switching off the beater bar, or raising it to the highest pile setting, and using low power if your vacuum allows. Work along the full length, then turn round and repeat, rather than dragging the head back and forth.
How should I deal with a heavy stain?
For anything more than a fresh spill, the maker recommends a professional cleaner, and asks you to keep harsh chemicals off the runner altogether.
Is one runner long enough for my hallway?
It measures 67 by 230cm, which suits many hallways and landings. In a longer hall, centre it so an even stretch of floor shows at each end, which looks deliberate rather than short.
Will the Mist colour look grey or beige in my home?
Mist reads as a warm, pale neutral: mostly cream with soft beige clouding and veining rather than a cool grey, so it sits most easily beside warm whites, wood and stone shades.
Can this runner go in a bathroom?
We would keep it to dry rooms indoors, such as a hallway, landing or bedroom, because the maker does not describe it as made for damp or wet places.
