Area Rug Problem My ranch house has 22' long Hall. What to do for runner?
I can rarely find anything longer than 12′. I am worried about doing more than one but also worried how bad a long single would look. It is glossy hardwood and they keep getting smudgy footprints from even the slightest moist feet. (kids leaving hall bath from a bath) Also I have so much hardwood everywhere I need to break it up. Also certain guests are a pain about making them remove shoes. I need ideas where to shop, JCP had everything last month but now I want to order and they no longer carry the long sizes. Another thing is I wanted the hall runner to match whatever I put in Living room which needs to be big also 11 X 14 would be ok. I can’t find these sizes of rugs affordable, except JCP but they have no big ones. I ‘d like to spend under 1500 plus include a 8 x 10 for the dining room (not to match).

What you can do is to go to a regular floor covering store, and see if they "bind" rugs.A lot of company’s do.That way ,depending on the width of your hall,you can buy two pieces of carpet,let’s say 4 feet wide, since that is an average hallway,and they will put one cross seam in it and then sew the binding around it.
That way, you will buy 8′ by 12′ feet of carpet plus, since the linear footage of the whole rug will be 52′,spend around on average 75 dollars for the binding and a small charge for the seam work.
Doing it this way you can choose any style or color you want.
