Carpet Runners For Stairs

Many people ignore how much carpet runners for stairs can do for their home. As a matter of fact I didn't give them earlier much though either, until I visited the new home of a friend of mine who has just moved to a house they were building with her husband.

Her entire home was beautifully decorated with matching colors and patterns throughout each room. The house has one floor plus the ground floor and when I went up the stairs to visit the top floor, I noticed the beautiful staircase carpet runner that I was just then stepping on.

And let me tell you, I got enthralled. So much that I next went out and bought my own carpet runners. What a difference can a decorative carpet runner make in a home!

Here you will find some of the most decorative carpet runners that you can add to your inside or outside staircases for that extra elegant touch that any cared for home deserves.

This image shows the Gray carpet runner I ended up buying. It has a very lush feeling to walk on, without an overpowering color or feel to it. Just perfect for my staircase!

You'd be surprised just how many people have inner staircases in their homes. With a fast growing population and literally overcrowded places to live in, you'd think that people live in smaller and smaller places - which is in fact true. That's why so many folks build taller homes rather than wider, so that a staircase is a very normal home accessory to give way to a first floor in the house.

Especially because the staircases are inside, they need to be not only protected, but also looking great, decorative for the place. And this is where inner carpet runners are all the rage right now.

So what exactly are carpet runners anyway? Well, these are long rugs that are made especially to be laid down on the stairs, like the one shown above. Basically these types of runners can also be used in any other narrow place in the house, such as hallways, or in the kitchen, but the staircase is a really good candidate for them.

They add that decorative element to the home, and they protect the wooden staircase from use and abuse, as well as dust, grime and dirt.

Some people install the runners by themselves, while others have them installed by professionals. Which you opt for will depend on whether your are a DIY kind of person, on your budget and finances and whether you like to do things around the house or trust more a pro to do in the right way.
