Hallway rug: what if your corridor became a path of beauty?

Tapis couloir: et si votre couloir devenait un chemin de beauté?

You walk through a corridor without thinking about it. It connects, it accompanies, it makes the link between the rooms of the house. And yet it deserves better than to be forgotten. It deserves a gesture, a look, a material that honours it. A hallway rug, when chosen with the heart, can transform this passageway into a gentle interlude, a breathing moment.

At Nunamae, we've learned to listen to these silent places, these spaces that we think are secondary. For us, every corner of the house can tell a story, as long as the right elements are used. And the rug is one of them.

A rug in a hallway isn't there to shine. It's there to accompany you. It unfurls its presence like a whisper beneath footsteps. It cushions, warms and structures. It gives the floor a direction and the space a soul. When woven by hand from recycled cotton or natural wool, it becomes more than an object. It becomes a conscious act, a poetic touch to everyday life.

Our hallway rugs are made in Portugal, in workshops where time is still an ally. The cotton, sourced from local textile scraps, is reinvented by patient hands, and the wool is source from traditional suppliers that still woven by hand. No factories, no mass production. Just the regularity of the gesture, the warmth of the know-how, the desire to do better with what we already have.

And then there's the light. Light that is sometimes lacking in the corridors. So our rugs come in more than 20 colours varying from soft hues to bright vibrant colours: beige, ecru, terracotta, forest green, mustard and many others. Colours that catch the morning light or soothe the evening. Their texture speaks of understated elegance and simplicity. They blend in, they connect, without ever imposing.

These mats are designed for everyday use, but also for care. Machine washable and soft underfoot - they make getting around more pleasant, safer and more alive. They don't need to be protected or feared. They live with you, in the fluidity of the day.

And then there's intention. The intention not to waste. To reuse what already exists. Choosing a rug that respects the people who make it, the planet that supports us, and the house that welcomes us. Every Nunamae hall runner reflects this vision. It's not just ecological. It's ethical, human and real.

When you walk into a hallway with a Nunamae rug, you feel it right away. There's something different. A calm. A warmth. A kind of gentle presence that you can't always see, but you can feel. And maybe that's what modern luxury is all about: having objects in your home that speak softly, but accurately.

1. What makes a hallway rug different from any other rug?

A hallway rug is not just decorative—it's a functional companion. It guides movement, absorbs sound, protects flooring, and brings warmth to a transitional space. At Nunamae, we design hallway rugs to transform a passageway into an intentional space, not just a corridor between rooms.

2. Are Nunamae hallway rugs made from recycled materials?

Yes. Most Nunamae hallway rugs are woven from recycled cotton sourced from textile scraps in Portugal. Some are also available in natural wool, sourced from local suppliers. Choosing these materials helps reduce waste, conserve water, and minimize energy use compared to virgin cotton or synthetic fibers.

3. Are hallway rugs suitable for high-traffic areas?

Absolutely. Our hallway rugs are designed for daily use. Thanks to the strength of recycled cotton and the resilience of wool, they are durable enough to handle frequent foot traffic while remaining soft underfoot.

4. Can Nunamae hallway rugs be machine washed?

Yes—recycled cotton hallway rugs are machine washable at 30°C, making them practical for busy households. Wool rugs, however, require gentler care such as shaking, spot cleaning, or delicate wool cycle washing, depending on the model.

5. Do the rugs have anti-slip features?

Nunamae hallway rugs do not come with built-in anti-slip backing. For safety on slippery surfaces like tile or hardwood, we recommend using a non-slip underlay, especially in high-traffic corridors.

6. What colours are available?

Our hallway rugs come in more than 20 colours varying from soft hues to bright vibrant colours: beige, ecru, terracotta, forest green, mustard and many others. These colours reflect natural light beautifully and add warmth to often dim or narrow hallways. Their minimalist aesthetic blends easily into both modern and traditional homes.

7. Are hallway rugs hypoallergenic?

Rugs made from 100% recycled cotton are hypoallergenic and gentle on sensitive skin. They are ideal for people with allergies, children, or anyone seeking a natural, breathable material for their hallway.

8. How do hallway rugs support ethical and sustainable living?

Each hallway rug reflects ethical choices:

·        Made with upcycled materials,

·        Woven by artisans in Portugal,

·        Crafted without electricity or water-intensive processes (compared to conventional cotton processing),

Supporting local economies and low-waste production.
