Description
Konvarne is a traditional low pile runner rug in grey. Along a soft grey ground sit two cream medallions, each filled with pink roses, sage leaves and small golden flowers and framed by scrolls in tan, sand and blush. A cream border scattered with roses runs around the edges, finished with a slim band of grey. The pattern has a textured look that gives it depth. The rug is hand tufted in 100% pure wool, and its low pile feels soft and natural underfoot. It comes in a single size: a 67 by 210cm runner.
At 67 by 210cm, this runner is sized for a hallway or a landing, where a long, narrow rug covers the path people walk every day. It also works beside a bed, giving bare feet a warmer first step in the morning. It brings a floral pattern to a strip of floor that is usually left plain, and the two medallions spaced along its length give the eye somewhere to rest. The grey ground keeps the look calm, while the pink, cream and gold in the pattern warm up plain walls and pale floors, so it sits as comfortably in a period house as in a newer home.
The runner has a pile height of 1cm and is 1.5cm thick overall, so if a door opens across your hallway or landing, check that the gap under it is at least 1.5cm. For care, the maker advises spot cleaning only and vacuuming with the suction turned low and no beater bar, and asks that you never brush, scrub or fold the rug. A new wool rug sheds a little at first, which is natural; trim any loose strand with scissors rather than pulling it. Measure your hallway before ordering, and on a smooth floor such as wood or tile, an underlay helps keep the runner in place.

Frequently Asked
Can I put this runner in the washing machine?
No. The maker's care for this wool rug is spot cleaning only, so treat a spill on the spot and keep the rest of the runner dry rather than washing it.
Can this runner go in a bathroom?
We would not put it there. The maker asks that the rug is kept off damp or wet floors, so it belongs in a dry hallway, landing or bedroom.
Does the design look the same from both ends?
Yes, the pattern is laid out symmetrically, with a medallion towards each end and the border repeating along both sides, so the runner looks right whichever way round you lay it.
Is a wool runner hard wearing enough for a hallway?
The maker describes this hand tufted rug as long lasting, and wool is a natural fibre with good spring, which suits a hallway or landing that sees steady foot traffic every day.
Is the border a bright white?
No, the border is a soft cream rather than a bright white, which sits well alongside the grey ground and the pink roses without looking stark.
