Why a runner

Why choose a stair runner?

  • Your stairs stay on show The runner covers the centre of each step, so painted or wooden edges and spindles stay visible either side.
  • Better grip underfoot A runner is less slippery than bare painted or varnished treads, which helps on steep or narrow stairs.
  • Quieter stairs Carpet softens footsteps, so a runner cuts the noise of people going up and down the house.
  • Protects the treads Most footsteps land in the middle of each step. The runner takes that wear, not your wood or paintwork.

Buying guide

How to choose a stair runner

Stairs take more wear than any other floor in the house, so the material matters. Think about who uses the stairs, how busy they are and the look you want, then see the options side by side in the showroom.

Wool runners

Wool is soft, warm and hard wearing, and it recovers well from footsteps, which makes it the classic choice for family stairs. Browse wool carpets

Sisal, seagrass and jute runners

Natural plant fibres give a woven, textured look that suits period and modern homes. Sisal and seagrass are tough and hard wearing. Jute is softer underfoot and better for stairs with lighter use.

Easy care runners

Polypropylene and nylon runners are practical for busy homes, rentals and houses with children or pets, because they are hard wearing and easy to look after.

Width and finish

We measure each step so the runner sits centred with an even margin of wood or paint on both sides. Ask us in the showroom about borders and stair rods, and which finish suits your staircase.

What is a stair runner?

A stair runner is a strip of carpet fitted down the centre of a staircase. It leaves the edges of the treads and risers on show, so you keep the look of painted or wooden stairs with the comfort and grip of carpet.

Which material is best for a stair runner?

Wool is a popular choice because it is soft, hard wearing and recovers well from footsteps. Sisal and seagrass give a natural, textured look and are tough. Jute is softer and suits stairs with lighter use. We can show you each one in the showroom.

Do you measure and fit stair runners in my area?

Yes. We measure and fit stair runners across Battersea, Clapham, Wandsworth, Fulham, Chelsea and the rest of South West London.
