Stripes are the quietest way to give a hallway structure. This Kemet runner uses horizontal textured stripes through the centre, framed by a bordered edge and picked out with fine dotted accents, in grey, beige and cream. Horizontal banding across a narrow corridor has a useful side effect: it makes the passage read as wider than it is, which is worth knowing in a flat where the hallway is tight. The jute-effect texture keeps it natural-looking while 100% polypropylene construction keeps it practical. Made in Egypt, flat weave, low pile with fringed ends. Available 300 x 100cm and 400 x 100cm.

Buying guide
In a narrow hallway, horizontal stripes widen the space visually while a lengthwise pattern lengthens it — decide which problem your corridor has before choosing. Grey and beige is the most forgiving palette for a hallway that takes shoes, since it shows neither dust nor dark marks strongly. Fit a non-slip pad, keep the runner clear of door swings, and vacuum weekly on a low setting. Comb fringes by hand. If the hallway takes a lot of outdoor traffic, keep a coir mat at the door so the runner deals with dust rather than mud.
How it compares
Against the Berber and chevron Kemet designs, stripes are the most understated and the easiest to pair with patterned wallpaper or a gallery wall. Against a plain runner, the dotted accents add enough detail to stop it looking flat. For maximum character, the Berber symbol version has more presence.
