Gorgeous Stair Runners and Carpet

Stair Runners

Elegant oriental stair runners. So beautiful.

A runner is a strip of carpet that covers the central portion of a staircase, leaving the edges exposed to showcase the underlying wood. Runners are perfect when you have wood stairs and want to enjoy their beauty.

Your stairs can go from ordinary to WOW with the right stair runner. There is just so much available in stair runners today! And the oriental style stair runner is still just as popular as ever.

We also make runners from carpet. This opens up possibilities like solid color runners, berber runners, and many patterns in addition to oriental style patterns. You can get patterns like check, trellis, striped, tone-on-tone, contemporary, transitional, country, and traditional.

The result is your home or business can be exactly the way you envisioned it.

Custom work is a specialty, and affordable. We do custom fitted oriental runners that are beyond the capability of many installers. The difference makes your home sparkle.

Full Stair Carpet

Cover the step completely if you don't have nice wood floors to show off.

For staircases with unfinished or worn wood surfaces, fully covering the steps with carpet is the ideal solution.

There are many options in carpet for stairs. Carpeting comes solid or patterned. Patterns can be elegant oriental designs, simple berber textures, subtle tone-on-tones, and so much more.

How Much Does Stair Carpet Cost?

Durability in stair runners

Stairs are a concentrated traffic area where foot traffic can take its toll. Since the amount of material is usually small, and the labor is a significant portion of putting carpet on stairs, it is definitely worthwhile to invest in top quality carpet. Stair runners will benefit greatly from dense construction. The more tightly your runner is woven, the better it withstands repeated impact traffic. Also, the use of pattern, color, and texture will improve the ability of any carpet to hide dirt, stains, and traffic patterns. If your area can use pattern, use pattern. You'll be glad you did. And use a quality pad. The investment is so minimal, and the proper pad will absorb most of the impact, greatly extending the life of your stair runner.

More about Patterns

Since stairways are constricted areas, a smaller pattern will serve better than a larger pattern. Large patterns get lost since you don't see enough of the pattern. Not only are smaller patterns more aesthetically pleasing, they tend to be better at hiding traffic patterns.

Also, if your stairs make a turn with either a landing or pie-shaped steps it can be best to avoid geometric or square patterns. Your stair installer will be able to provide you with a more pleasing result with non-geometric patterns when the runner makes a turn. In any case, consult a professional for what's best in your particular situation.
