Is this rug soft enough for bare feet?

Yes. It is hand-tufted wool, so the pile is soft and dense underfoot, warmer than a flat-weave cotton runner. Expect some shedding in the first weeks.

Will it fit in a hallway?

It is a 2 x 9 foot rectangle, sized for narrow runs like hallways, galley kitchens and entryways. Measure the clear floor length first, since 9 feet is long for small spaces.

Does it need a rug pad?

A pad is recommended. It keeps the runner from sliding on hard floors, adds cushioning and helps protect the cotton backing.

Can it go outdoors or in a bathroom?

No. It is made for indoor use, and the wool and cotton construction should not stay damp. Use it in dry interior spaces.

Vacuum regularly on a low setting without a beater bar, and blot spills right away. For deeper cleaning, use a professional rug cleaner rather than machine washing.

Is the color true to ivory and grey?

The rug is a monochrome ivory and grey design with an abstract pattern. Wool and lighting can shift the tone slightly, so expect a soft, muted look rather than bright white.
