Porte + Hall kitchen runner or ruggables

last year

Does any one have a kitchen runner from Porte + Hall? Looking for reviews Also considering Ruggables but mixed reviews and having trouble picking a pattern - I’m including a picture of my kitchen where it would go. TIA

Just FYI, I ordered a runner from Ruggable on August 18, and it still hasn't shipped. I understand that there are supply chain issues for just about everything, but it's a bit frustrating. When I checked with customer service, they responded: "The order item was sent back to production multiple times as it failed to pass the quality requirement."

In the meantime, I get at least one promo / marketing email from them every day. I don't want to unsubscribe because I want to get my update if the thing ever ships.

Also FYI - they charged in full when I ordered.

Wow that’s terrible! Did the rug say it was in stock when it was ordered? They should not charge until it ships! Hate when companies do otherwise. It is wrong

They are definitely thin and a bit overpriced for what they are IMO, but I do love that they can be thrown in the washer. They are perfect for kitchens and areas that get a lot of food spills, but I don't think they're super absorbent. They seem to repel water though, so might be worth a try. When we have small spills, I don't think the water seeps through the layers onto our hardwood floors. We've only had to wash our kitchen runner maybe 3 times in the last couple of years, as they spot clean extremely well. We only put them in the washer when we have major spills (things like large amounts of enchilada sauce) or pet messes. I don't regret getting ours as we have kids and pets, just think they're kind of pricey.

thank you both so much for the help here! @Judy Graham - great idea! definitely something we'll consider in the future as we're on a bit of a budget having invested so much with the puppy (and imagine the rugs will take some wear + tear in her younger years so want to hold off on doing anything more custom until she's older) Will save this for then!! @Beth hilarious on the kitty parkour!! I grew up with cats myself so definitely have experience with the "running starts" (and paw prints 😂!!) Thanks so much for the suggestion on the runner length - that's definitely been a hangup in my head! If we go with two 8 feet runners, we'll have a ~2 foot (tops) gap - I'm less experienced with rug placement so just wanted to get a sense of whether that sounded like a good layout? Lastly - curious on your thoughts about mixing two different designs (vs. using the same rug twice)? I'd been looking at Ruggable and LOVE their stuff (+ very pet friendly) but they unfortunately only have 7 ft + 10 ft.. assume that'd make for an awkward pairing? I tried a design tool I just found online and this looked like a good approximation for what the hallway would look like with your 8 ft rug suggestion! (definitely not the colors I'd go with, but just to get an idea!)

Someone asked if you have to use front load washing machine. I wash mine in my top loader with no problems. But I don't have a very large rug. Just a runner in the kitchen. Mine also curls up at some of the edges which drives me crazy. The weirdest thing is there was another post about ruggables a while back and I said I love mine. Others posted about the edges curling and I though that's odd, mine doesn't do that. Well, you all jinxed me because soon after mine curled! I love that it's washable though so I haven't replaced it. I may look into the newer ones coming out eventually.

Thank you @everdebz! I’m new to the site so haven’t added any idea boards yet. I am actually going for a brighter look. Mix of contemporary/French/farmhouse. We will be renovating that living room you see from the foyer and it will have hardwood floors. We are not renovating the foyer but would like to tie in these styles. Kitchen and mud room on the side of the house will have these color schemes:

I don't recommend Ruggable runners at all. we had one for about 2 years and got rid of it because it was so frayed and gross. We have a large area rug that is fine, but the edges and corners on a long thin rug don't last well IMO

I have a Ruggable rug, it's a basic 5x7 at the foot of the bed. It gets light foot traffic. I love it. I was very impressed with how it washed.

Someone was saying the runners aren't as good. So it might be a gamble. I'm still planning to buy a Ruggable runner because they're so easy to clean, which is an absolute necessity for me with my dog. I imagine you want a kitchen rug to be super easy to clean as well.
