8 Stylistic and Creative Rug Solutions for Your Corridor

Corridors act as connections between the spaces in your home, from the initial impression created by the entryway to the family feeling created by the kitchen, living room, and dining room to the calmness of the bedroom. Therefore, hallway rugs are particularly important if you want to decorate your home to tie everything nicely together.

It’s important to consider the best material for rugs. It must be high-quality to ensure the rugs are durable and won’t lose their color. However, it’s also important that you choose the right rug. Your rug should complement the rest of your interior design and not feel out of place.

Here are a few ideas on how to use rugs in your corridors that will elevate how your home feels:

1. Go With a Classic Runner Rug



If you’re unsure of what kind of rug to use, you can always stick to the classic runner rug. Also known as sprinters, these rugs are typically three feet wide and can be found in various lengths.

Classic runner rugs like the Bauhaus Silver can make tiny hallways look especially good because they’re thin and long, and they come in many interesting and beautiful design options.

2. Stripes Can Enhance a Narrow Hallway



If you have a really narrow hallway, consider using a rug with a stripe design, like the Alex Indigo rug. A striped rug will make your hallway look far more spacious than it really is and give it a beautiful appearance.

By implying movement in the direction of the stripes, this rug can create the illusion of a wider space.

If your hallway has patterned tiles, you can complement how it looks by choosing a simple rug. You shouldn’t cover the gorgeous patterned tiles with a huge and eye-catching rug, you’ll be hiding the tiles’ beauty.

Choose a rug that's practical and simplistic in design, but doesn't contain colors that will clash with the tiles.

5. Bring Out Your Hallway Rug’s Beauty With Furnishings



A good way to give your hallway a harmonious feel is by keeping your current furnishings in mind or buying furnishings that will work well with your rug.

For example, choose a rug with colors and textures that complement your curtains, plants, and the wall art you’ve placed. For instance, if your hallway is furnished with pieces in a neutral color palette, gentle rugs like the Suzanna Powder will only enhance this look.
