How to fix a rug in a hallway
A corridor is a place where a large number of people pass. However, this part is rather gray. I would like to add some zest to it and make it brighter and warmer, both in terms of color and in the literal sense.
In order to do this, it is enough to purchase a carpet runner.
How to choose a carpet runner in the hallway
Since the corridor is the place where the largest amount of dirt in the house collects. After all, this is a kind of border between the street and other rooms. Therefore, the material for the path must be chosen quite simple and unproblematic when cleaning.
One of the best materials for this room is nylon runners . Their unique coating does not absorb moisture, which means they are easy enough to wash. Moreover, there will be no consequences. There is a drawback to such tracks. They do not have a large variety of ornaments and patterns. Therefore, they can only insulate, but not become a highlight in the interior.
If you want to make the interior more interesting with the help of a carpet, then you can consider more classic options. That is, wool carpets . This material is quite durable and can retain its original appearance for many years. However, they are quite difficult to clean and maintain. It is worth considering this fact when buying.
Polyester can be another material for the carpet in the corridor. It does not absorb moisture at all and is very easy to use.
As you know, carpets can be of different lengths with pile:
• Long from 16 mm;
• Medium up to 15 mm;
• Short up to 5 mm;
• Lint-free.
If we talk about carpets with long pile and pile in general, then they are beautiful, create enough warmth and add comfort to the corridor. However, they collect a fairly large amount of dirt and can roll off, leaving the so-called paths. Therefore, when choosing a carpet runner in the hallway, it is better to consider lint-free options.

We've covered tips for choosing. However, it is worth noting that after the purchase, there may be a problem with the installation of carpet . The fact is that the hallway is quite passable, which means that the track must be attached to the floor so that it does not move back and forth.
There are several options for laying carpet in the hallway :

1. Straighten the pre-track.
2. Then stick the scotch tape in the form of squares.
