Prinvena Border Hand Tufted Pure Wool Runner Rug - Monochrome

Prinvena is a monochrome runner rug with a cream centre framed by a deep black border and two slim black lines set just inside it, so the frame reads as neat bands of contrast. The look is clean and modern, much like the bordered rugs of a smart hotel corridor, and it gives a long, narrow stretch of floor a crisp finish. It is made from 100% wool and hand tufted, so it feels soft beneath your feet and has the natural warmth that wool brings. It comes in a single size, a 67 by 200cm runner.

The maker designed this rug for bedrooms and living rooms, and its narrow shape suits spots a larger rug cannot reach. Laid along the side of a bed, it gives you somewhere soft and warm to step first thing. In a living room it can sit in front of a sofa or a sideboard, or fill a strip of floor between furniture where a full rug would crowd the space. As a runner it also works well in a hallway or on a landing, where the dark outer border keeps a narrow space looking orderly and the cream centre lifts it.

The rug is 2cm thick overall with a 1.5cm pile, so check that any door opening over your chosen spot clears it. Our care advice comes from the maker: spot clean only, vacuum on low suction without the beater bar, and never brush or scrub it. Keep it off damp or wet floors and never fold it. If a loose strand appears, trim it level with scissors rather than pulling it, and expect a little shedding at first, which is natural in a new rug. Measure the length of floor you have in mind, and on a smooth floor such as wood or tile, add an underlay to help keep it in place.

Is the Prinvena runner wide enough for a hallway?

At 67cm wide and 200cm long, it suits a narrow hallway or landing. Measure the width first and aim for a strip of bare floor showing along each side, which usually looks most balanced.

Can I put the Prinvena runner in the washing machine?

No, this runner is not machine washable. The maker's care is spot cleaning only, so treat any mark where it lands rather than trying to wash the whole rug.

Can this rug go in a kitchen or bathroom?

We would keep it to dry rooms. The maker's care advice is to avoid damp or wet surfaces, so a bathroom is not a good place, and a kitchen floor that gets splashed is best avoided too. It was designed for bedrooms and living rooms.

Is pure wool a good choice for a hallway runner?

Wool is a good choice here. The maker describes this rug as long lasting as well as soft, which suits a spot that sees daily footsteps.

Which decor schemes suit a black and cream runner?

With just cream and black, it sits easily in a neutral scheme and also gives a clean outline against bolder colours, painted walls or patterned furniture.
