Horizontal textured stripe bands in soft beige, greige and grey running across the width of the runner — which is the detail that matters in a corridor, because banding across a narrow space makes it read as wider than it is. The combination of different woven stripe bands creates subtle depth without pattern, so it works in a hallway that already has plenty to look at. It is an easy rug to live with and an easy one to coordinate, since it shares its palette with the rest of the Kemet Collection — buy the matching area rug for the adjoining room and the two spaces read as one scheme. Available in 300 x 100cm and 400 x 100cm.

Buying guide
Horizontal banding is the right choice in a genuinely narrow corridor, since it widens the space visually. Measure the clear run between doorways before choosing 3m or 4m, and leave an even 10–20cm of floor visible on each side so the runner looks fitted. Use a non-slip pad on tile. Vacuum weekly on a low setting so textured bands are not caught, comb any fringes by hand and rotate end to end twice a year. A doormat at the entrance keeps grit off the weave, which is what causes wear.
How it compares
Against a lengthways-striped runner, horizontal banding widens a narrow corridor rather than lengthening it. Against a plain runner, the mixed textures add depth. Buying the matching Kemet area rug coordinates the hallway with the next room.
