Staircase carpet ideas for your home
If you’re on a quest to spruce up this essential part of home, we’ve got you (and your stairs) covered. Take a look at our stair carpet ideas to give you the inspiration you need to transform your stairs.
For many of us, the staircase is the first thing our guests see. But, wherever your stairs are in your home, you see them and use them every day, so it’s really important that they look terrific.
Make a design statement with stripes
Striped carpets make stairs appear taller, just use vertical stripes to create the illusion of longer stairs.
The same trick works with horizontal stripes, making narrow staircases appear wider. The added bonus to stripes is that they hide scuffs well, great for stairs because they take a lot of footfall.
Create a sense of grandeur and luxury
A bold, grand entrance can be made simply by selecting the right colours. For example, a sense of drama comes when you contrast white painted stairs with a black carpet runner. Imagine the impact of this monochrome statement!
Let’s not forget the practicality of black carpet. Scuffs and marks are inevitable, especially on stairs, but black hides them in its dark pile, making it a wise choice.

Going for the classic staircase finish
If you’re going for something classic rather than contemporary, create a timeless look with earthy and neutral tones. You can even introduce a subtle pattern to add interest while maintaining the calm atmosphere that gentle neutral tones bring to your hallway.
A simple yet sophisticated hall and stairs with two-tone carpet could be exactly what you need to create the kind of look you’ll want to show off to your friends and family.
