Temanne Modern Low Pile Geometric Abstract Runner Rug - Green

Temanne is a low pile runner rug in green, patterned with groups of short bars that turn at right angles from block to block, rather like a loose basket weave sketched in brushstrokes. The bars sit in a deeper green against a lighter green ground, and the soft pile gives the abstract geometric design a textured look. It is a modern design in calm, restful shades of green. The maker weaves it by machine, and its face is 100% polyester, chosen for comfort and durability. It comes in a single size, a 67 by 230cm runner.

At 67cm wide and 230cm long, this is a runner sized for a hallway or a landing, laying a soft path along a hard floor. The maker also names living rooms and bedrooms: beside a bed it gives you something warmer than bare boards first thing, and in a living room it can run along the front of a sofa or fill a narrow gap between pieces of furniture. Because the maker designed this rug for the busier parts of a home, a hallway that takes shoes and footsteps all day is a natural place for it.

The pile stands 9mm high, low enough to vacuum without fuss, and the runner is 2cm thick overall, with a backing of cotton and polyester. If a door opens across it, check the gap beneath that door before you order, since the full 2cm needs room to clear. For everyday care, the maker advises blotting spills straight away with a clean, dry cloth or sponge and keeping harsh chemicals well away. The maker recommends an underlay beneath it on every floor, for extra cushioning and longer wear, and it helps keep a runner in place on smooth boards. Measure your hallway or landing and leave a strip of bare floor at each end so it sits centred.

How should I vacuum this runner?

Vacuum along the full length, turn round and repeat, rather than dragging the head back and forth. Switch off the beater bar or set it to the highest pile setting, and choose low power where your machine offers it.

What should I do about a heavy stain?

The maker recommends professional cleaning for heavy stains, so for anything a quick blot will not lift, we would call in a specialist rug cleaner rather than reach for strong products.

Is it a bright green or a muted one?

It is a muted mid green rather than a bright one, with darker bars set into a softer, lighter green, so it brings colour to a room without shouting.

Which way does the pattern run?

The pattern has no single direction: the blocks of bars turn at right angles across the whole runner, so it looks the same whichever end faces the door.
