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.
