STAIRS CARPET & RUNNERS

STAIRS CARPET & RUNNERS

Homeowners love to get imaginative about living rooms, bedrooms and kitchens, fantasising what flooring will go best with their furniture and which will aesthetically enhance their home the most; but everyone forgets about the stairs.

When in fact, the stairs are among the heaviest foot traffic areas in the house. With people using them nearly every day.

You may or may not have noticed, but often homes have snazzy new flooring in the main rooms, but the stairs haven’t been so blessed, frequently sporting a rather out of date and weary looking carpet. This is for the simple reason people forget to update them, they are there for practicality rather than to impress. Nevertheless, you’d be surprised by how much livelier your home can look if you were to invest in fresh new carpets for your stairs.

Carpet

It’s comforting underfoot and homely. Often stairs are leading up to the bedroom, which usually has carpet in it too, therefore it fits with the theme nicely. Falling down the stairs is certainly something you do not want to do, and carpet largely stops any slipping due to its grip, even if something is spilt. If you’ve got children running up and down the stairs, carpets would significantly reduce the risk of accidents. Again, children often play on them, sliding down and all sorts; a softer landing therefore being a safer option.

Runners

A stair runner is a piece of carpet that doesn’t cover the entire width of the stair. It is typically installed over hardwood or tiled stairs.

Runners are a beautiful and unique way to bring your stairs alive and add a stylish splash of colour. They provide a great hard wearing option for stairs and hallways.
