    Console is pretty common.

    I had no idea that runner carpet was called that in English as well though.

      I exaggerated slightly for effect in my above comment, because I am aware of a “table runner” being a piece of cloth run across the top of a table, above the table cloth. But I’ve definitely never heard of it as a carpet. Does that mean the “red carpet” of Hollywood would be more properly termed a “red runner”?

        I guess, but I don’t like it. A church is a house after all. The only requirements are that it is significantly longer than wide and within a walking path. I.e. a carpet you walk/run on. That being said I would also impose the condition of it being indoors and rectangular. At that point the red carpet no longer is a runner.
