Durable and Non-Slip Design
Built to withstand high-traffic areas, the runner boasts hard-wearing qualities and a slip-resistant backing. Shoppers say it looks fantastic in hallways, kitchens, and on landings, protecting hardwood floors while hiding muddy footprints and stains.
Available in six discounted colours—black, green, grey, natural, navy, and olive—the runner comes in three sizes. The smallest starts at £28 (down from £35), and the largest is reduced to £55.20 (was £69). All options are on the Dunelm website.
Customer Reviews
With 870 reviews, the Herringbone Border Runner holds an impressive 4.6 out of 5 stars. One delighted shopper said: "Great item, super stylish and doesn't slip at all which is brilliant. Perfect addition to my hallway."
Another added: "Straightforward ordering online and collection in store. The colour, herringbone weave, and slip-resistant backing are what stand out. I'm using it in a hallway and it stays in place, looking as new after over two months."
A third fan commented: "Absolutely stunning. Perfect hallway runner grips the floor like a glove, no movement, and makes the hallway look amazing."
However, one dissatisfied customer found the runner didn't lie flat: "Appears as described but does not settle flat. Still rumpled after some weeks. Might settle after more time." Another noted: "Very pleased with the look, but it marks easily. Food spills or even water leaves a stain."
