Designed to complement a variety of interiors—from boutique guesthouses to modern minimalist homes—our bed runners combine rich textures, excellent fabric weight (GSM), and easy maintenance.

The polyester composition ensures long-lasting shape, resistance to wrinkles, and easier care. Their Holland velvet texture offer Fine weave and consistent finish.
GSM Ratings Explained
When selecting bed runners, understanding GSM (grams per square meter) is key. It reflects fabric thickness and density:
- 370 GSM Front with 210 GSM Back (Quilted): This is the most padded of our designs. It includes a stitched filling on the front for enhanced structure and softness. Ideal for chilly seasons or rooms where added texture is desired.
- 210 GSM Diamond Stripe (Front & Back): A lighter, visually textured option featuring a diamond stripe pattern. It adds subtle dimension while staying lightweight—great for spring/summer or rooms with lots of visual detail.
- 210 GSM Solid Dyed Velvet (Front & Back): The most versatile design. Smooth, untextured, and dyed in rich tones, it pairs easily with a wide range of bed linens. Great for minimalist or coordinated styles.
Design Options: Quilted, Patterned & Plain
Each velvet bed runner in our range is designed to cater to distinct style preferences:
- Quilted with Stitching & Filling: Offers a plush, tactile surface that stands out in any setting. The extra padding gives weight to the runner, helping it lay flat and adding warmth to the bed.
- Diamond Stripe Pattern: Adds decorative flair through subtle lines stitched into the fabric. This style gives a designer look without being overpowering.
- Solid Dyed Design: Clean, bold colours with no additional patterning. Perfect for layered, minimal, or colour-blocked interior designs.
