To spend £90 on a runner for our hall?

[Birdylade]

It's lovely but I wonder if £90 is a bit too much and have lost perspective after trawling the internet for one all evening!

If you love it and can afford it, you should get the runner; you'll use it and see it many times every day.

That's what I paid for ours

YABU to spend any money on a floor covering for a hall that isn't either plastic or machine washable.

link please? our runner has completely had it and have been searching everywhere for one long enough, and in the right colours. and no i think £90 is fine, ours was £70 odd and that was years ago

It depends on how much you love it? And how much money you have to spare?

Have you had a look on amazon for some other options?

It's this malmaison one from Laura Ashley in duck egg

Should be £150 though so good reduction, depends if you're going to have muddy feet on it all the time too it would be filthy in my house quickly.

ooh it is beautiful. wouldn't last 10 minutes in my house.

OP do you have dc or pets? do you wear shoes indoors?

It will go upstairs where we have a no shoes rule otherwise it would get wrecked within days!

Ohhh not a 118 runner then?

What's a runner and why does a hallway need one?

Ah I see a link now - it appears to be a rug, 90quid for a quality rug is not that unreasonable assuming it's within the general cost of the house, personally I wouldn't - it also says 150quid on the link I can see...

It's the duck egg one which is on offer. What's a 911 runner?!

It's lovely! We have a woven stripy cotton thing the dog loves to slide on :-) that would get wrecked in days!
this

Mythical - love that stripey one!

Oh that's beautiful Birdy, Yanbu. :)

we got a cheapy ikea one for £20 we get through at least one a year though being dirty buggas

if you like it and can afford it, it aint rocket science.

I have the red version...it doesn't show the dirt although it is darker I think the design helps in hiding marks. I have the large rug too which my daughter plays on. They sell well on eBay even when used so if you change your mind you'll get a bit of money for it. They have also dry cleaned well.

I've got the large duck egg one. I machine wash it every 8 weeks and it's been totally fine for 2 years so far.

That's encouraging FairyCakes. I Think I may have handwashed mine at some point but it must have been winter as I couldn't get the damn thing to dry!

It is lovely, if it's upstairs with no shoes on it I would go for it.

YANBU!

That's lovely. Good taste OP!
