Runners are a specific category of rugs that rightly deserve their own subcategory. Although everyone will primarily use them to equip hotel corridors or staircases in palaces, their use is in fact much broader than it might seem.
In addition to stairs and corridors, runners can be used to create walkways or highlight certain areas in common rooms, for example. Relatively well-known uses are also classic "red" carpets used for festive occasions, or runners installed at fashion shows and other events.
