About this tool

Standard hallway and kitchen runner rug sizes and how to choose one.

How to use Runner Rug Sizes

  1. Measure your hallway length and width.
  2. Pick a runner about 8 in narrower and 12–18 in shorter.
  3. Compare sizes in feet and centimeters.

Worked example

A 10 ft hallway suits a 2.5 × 8 ft runner, leaving floor visible at each end.

Are runner sizes the same in every country?

No. The US, UK and Europe use different standard sizes, so check the chart for your region and the product’s own measurements.

Why do inches and centimeters not match exactly?

Products are made to round numbers in one system, so the other system’s figures are rounded conversions.
