Description
Our Franvora runner is a woven runner rug in dark grey, framed on all four sides by a lighter grey border. Up close, the surface shows a small, even weave in deep charcoal tones; from across the room it reads as a calm, plain dark runner. The fibre is 90% sisal and 10% polyester, which gives a natural, textured feel underfoot rather than a soft, cushioned one, and a hard-wearing surface. It comes in two lengths, both 67cm wide: a 67 by 200cm runner and a 67 by 300cm runner.
The maker describes this fibre as durable and well suited to busy, well-used rooms, and a runner is where that matters most: the hallway from the front door to the stairs, an upstairs landing, or a busy corridor. Choose the 67 by 200cm runner for a shorter hall, a landing, or the floor alongside a bed. The 67 by 300cm runner covers a long hallway in a single piece, with no join in the middle. The dark grey gives a grounded, practical tone for a well-walked hallway, while the lighter border draws a neat, tailored line along every side, so the runner looks finished rather than cut from a roll.
The runner is woven, with its grey border running round all four sides. The maker gives its thickness as 1cm, so before you lay it, check the gap under any door that opens over it. For care, the maker advises vacuuming regularly, in one direction rather than back and forth, with a standard floor tool, keeping the runner dry, and calling in a professional cleaner for any serious spill or stain. Roll it rather than folding it whenever you store or move it. Before ordering, measure your hall or landing and leave a margin of floor at each end; on a smooth floor, an underlay helps keep a runner in place.

Frequently Asked
Which length of runner should I choose for my hallway?
Lay a tape measure along the floor where the runner will go and note where any doors open. If the space takes the longer length with some floor to spare at each end, choose the 67 by 300cm runner; otherwise the 67 by 200cm runner is the better fit.
Will a 67cm wide runner fit a narrow hallway?
Both lengths are 67cm wide. In a narrow hall, measure between the skirting boards and check that some floor will show on each side, which lets the lighter grey border read clearly as a frame.
Is this sisal runner machine washable?
No, this runner is not machine washable. The maker asks for regular vacuuming and recommends a professional cleaner for any bad spill or stain, so we would never soak it or put it in a washing machine.
Can the runner go in a bathroom or next to a back door?
We would not put it there. The maker asks for the runner to be kept dry, so a bathroom, a wet room or the spot where wet boots come in is the wrong place; an indoor hallway or landing suits it far better.
