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 2pm EST, 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.

Honestly, not the best. Hallways and stair runs are the highest-traffic surfaces in the house, and high pile crushes fastest where it gets walked over most. Low- to medium-pile runners look better six months in.
