Textiles The hallway rug that survives a hallway A braided jute runner. Jute is the hardest-wearing natural fibre in a rug, which is why it belongs in the one place in the house that everybody walks through. Hard-wearing fibre Jute takes daily traffic better than wool or cotton at this price. 75 x 240 cm Standard hallway proportion. Long enough not to look like a doormat. Hand-braided Thick plaited rope construction, reversible if one side wears. Undyed natural No dye to fade in a hall with a glass front door. 01 — The traffic Where rugs die A hallway takes shoes, wet, and every trip in and out. Soft fibres flatten in a season. Jute is coarse enough that footfall barely marks it. 02 — The reversibility Flip it at year two Braided construction means both faces are the same. Turn it over and you have effectively bought a second runner. 03 — The underlay Use one Jute on a hard floor slides, and a sliding runner in a hallway is genuinely dangerous. A thin grip pad underneath solves it entirely.
