Description
Temanne is a chocolate brown runner rug with a modern, geometric abstract design. Blocks of short parallel bars and longer lines overlap in an irregular rhythm along its length, worked in a pair of closely matched browns, so the pattern reads as texture first and colour second. The bars sit raised above the channels between them, giving the surface a textured look with depth when light falls across it. It is a low pile rug with a 9mm pile of 100% polyester, machine woven, and it comes in one size: a 67 by 230cm runner.
A runner of this length belongs in a hallway or along a landing, covering the stretch of floor that sees the most footsteps. The maker designed this rug for busy, high-traffic spaces, so it is a sensible choice for the route from the front door to the kitchen, and it works as well laid beside a bed for a soft first step in the morning. What you gain is softness on a hard floor from a low pile that suits regular vacuuming, plus a design that holds the eye from one end to the other. Chocolate is a deep, warm brown that sits comfortably with oak and walnut floors, cream or stone walls and dark wood furniture.
The maker chose a 100% polyester face so the runner wears well and stays soft, and set it on a backing of cotton and polyester. It measures 2cm thick overall, which is worth checking against any door that opens across the hallway: a door with less clearance than that will catch on the runner. For everyday care, blot a spill straight away with a dry cloth or sponge and keep harsh chemicals off the pile, as the maker advises. Before you order, measure your hallway or landing and leave a strip of bare floor at each end, so the runner sits evenly in the space.

Frequently Asked
How should I vacuum the Temanne runner?
The maker advises skipping the beater bar, or raising the head to its highest pile height setting, and choosing a low power level where your vacuum offers one. Work along the full length, turn the runner round and repeat, instead of dragging the head backwards and forwards.
Do I need an underlay with this runner?
The maker recommends an underlay on every type of floor. It helps keep the runner in place, adds a little extra cushioning underfoot and helps it last longer, which counts most on a smooth wooden or tiled hallway floor.
What should I do about a heavy stain?
For a heavy stain the maker recommends professional cleaning, so we suggest handing the runner to a rug cleaner rather than tackling a deep mark at home.
How does the raised pattern feel underfoot?
You feel the design as well as see it: the bars of each block stand a little higher than the lines around them, so the soft polyester surface has a gentle ridged texture under bare feet rather than a completely flat one.
