Runner rugs are long, usually narrow carpets that fill entrance areas and landings, helping enhance walkways. Runners are the perfect option for narrow spaces and hallways to add a pop of interest, protect floors (particularly wood) from constant wear, scratches and scuff marks, provide a sound barrier, and are much nicer to walk on than cold hard floors.

From Afghan Kunduz runners and Ziegler runners to Bokhara and Chobi runners, we have a wonderful selection of traditional runners available online. Most of our handcrafted runners come in widths between 70-80 cm. However, we also supply wider widths to accommodate different property needs. With over 100 traditional runner rugs in stock at all times, we’re confident that you’ll find something you love.

Jack Jennings opened Jennings Rugs in 1960, turning his passion for the East into a career. His daughter Clare now concentrates her time on the family business, including travelling to the East in search of exclusive and beautiful rugs. By visiting the weaver's agents and getting to know them, we ensure our chosen rugs are of the highest quality. We seek rugs that blend both traditional techniques with fine craftsmanship.

Our range of traditional runner rugs checks elements such as colour, quality, and design. At Jennings, we always ensure that our rugs live up to the high standards we expect. Our range of traditional runners is the perfect choice if you’re looking for a high-quality, handcrafted hall carpet.

In addition to our wonderful Afghan Kunduz and Zieglers, we also have fine Afghan Mamlouk and Kazak runners, and our traditional Persian Qashqai tribal and Nomad runners. We have a wonderful selection of handmade runner rugs using contemporary designs like the Afghan loribaft and Samarkand designs. We should also remember the terrific Kunduz wide runners and rugs with strong geometric designs and vibrant colours.
