Most hallways and stair runs work best with a 4–6 inch margin of bare floor on each side. A 3-foot-wide hall takes a 27″ runner; a 3.5–4-foot-wide hall takes a 31″ runner. If you’re between sizes, the narrower runner usually looks more intentional.

Yes. Add this color to your Sample Box and we'll send a swatch cut from the same material family, so you can check the pile, color, and light in your room before ordering. Samples are $10 each, up to 5 per box, with $10 shipping unless you order 5 swatches. Each sample fee is credited toward rug orders of $200+ for 60 days.

Multiply the tread depth + riser height by the number of steps, then add 6–12 inches for the landing wrap. Always round up; we can’t add length later. If you have multiple flights, order one continuous runner so the seam doesn’t fall on a step.

Every Well Woven runner is finished with a serged edge before it ships — the same edge treatment we use on our area rugs, professionally bound to prevent fraying. The cut you receive is the finished product; nothing about it reads like a remnant.

That’s a real product, not a leftover. Customers use 1-foot cuts for samples, repair patches, and custom edge sections — it stays in the dropdown intentionally. Most hallway buyers start at 4–8 feet.

Custom runners ship same day if ordered by noon ET (9am Mondays), then arrive in 3–7 business days. Free shipping on orders over $99.

Custom-cut runners are final sale because each one is cut to order from a continuous roll. If something arrives defective, contact us within 48 hours and we’ll replace it.
