How To Use Multiple Runner Rugs
Runners, or runner rugs, are long, narrow rugs that add a stylish, soft touch to your home. They are ideal for hallways, kitchens, bathrooms, entryways, and other tight-fitting spaces. Many people ask if it’s possible to use multiple runner rugs in the same space. The answer? Absolutely!
By adding multiple runner rugs to your home, you can express your own style and exuberance. You can even add a mix of vintage and contemporary runners throughout, or Moroccan with Oriental, Turkish with Indian, flatweave with shag, or hand-knotted with jute. The possibilities are truly endless.
Multiple Runner Rug Placement Considerations
Runner Rugs for Hallways
When placing multiple runner rugs in a hallway, try to select something that picks up on the color and style in rooms nearby. They by no means need to match exactly, but try to keep them in the same world, meaning the runners have complementary motifs or color schemes. Think siblings, rather than twins.
If you have an extra-long hallway, you can easily place them one after the other. Just make sure to space out your runner rugs within a couple of inches in between them to create a gentle flow.
Can You Use Two Runners In a Hallway?
Definitely! You can even use three or more runner rugs in the same hallway if your hallway is long enough. Again, you’ll just want to have a bit of space between them so that each rug maintains its distinct appearance rather than looking like one long carpet.
Runner Rugs for the Bathroom
Place bathroom runner rugs in areas that tend to collect water, such as the base of your shower and/or bathtub or at the sink. If your bathroom has a claw foot tub or stand-alone tub, consider placing a lengthy runner rug alongside it.
You can definitely add multiple runners in your bathroom if it’s extra-large. But try to avoid using more than one runner rug for smaller bathrooms as it will crowd the space.
Runner Rugs for the Kitchen
A good rule of thumb for kitchen runner rugs is placing them at least 6” from the wall or built-in cabinets or appliances. You can then put one runner rug at your kitchen nook or counter-side bar seating and another in front of the oven. Make sure to place any furniture completely over the rugs.
Using a Rug Pad
One of the most important things often overlooked with runner rug placement is using a rug pad. Rug pads help the rugs stay in place and can prevent them from sliding on wood, tile, and wet floors.

General Care Tips For Your Multiple Runner Rugs
With regular care, your runner rugs will last for decades. Just make sure to follow these key tips:
- Vacuum your runner rugs once or twice per month to remove dirt and grime. Use a suction vacuum cleaner rather than a rotary vacuum.
- Make sure to vacuum both sides of your rug.
- Get your runner rugs professionally hand-washed every 3 to 5 years.
Avoid rotary vacuums, stain cleaners, and steamers, as they will cause irreversible damage to your runner rugs.
