Stair Runners

Our stair runners are cut to the length of your staircase, up to 100 ft in one piece, and arrive with serged edges, ready to install. A runner leaves a strip of stair showing on each side, so you keep the look of your wood or painted stairs while adding comfort underfoot.

Stair runner colors and borders

Beige stair runners and plain stair runners keep a staircase light and simple, and let the wood on each side do the talking. Green stair runners bring color to the flight if you want the stairs to stand out.

Striped stair runners and bordered stair runners draw the eye up the stairs and give a crisp edge, which works well on a long or narrow staircase. As a guide, the more of each tread you leave showing, the more the wood becomes part of the look.

Traditional, modern and animal print stair runners

Traditional stair runners suit older homes with turned spindles and classic detail. Modern stair runners give a cleaner look in newer homes. Animal print stair runners are for anyone who wants the staircase to be the first thing people notice from the hall.

Flat-weave, plush and durable stair runners

Flat-weave stair runners have a thin, tight weave that sits neatly on each tread and is easy to vacuum. Soft luxurious stair runners have a plusher feel underfoot, which makes them a good fit for the stairs up to the bedrooms. For the main staircase in a busy home, start with our durable stair runners, made for daily traffic from shoes, pets and kids.

Installing a stair runner

A stair runner is fixed to each step rather than laid loose. Our stair runner underlay and gripper pack holds it firmly in place without glue or carpet tape. You'll need a tape measure, staple gun, carpet bolster, safety knife and rubber mallet. Start at the top step and work your way down, keeping the runner central as you go.

Anti-slip stair runners add extra grip underfoot, but they're installed the same way. Stair rods are optional and purely decorative. Our stair runner installation guide takes you through each step.

Made to measure for your stairs

Before you order, use our stair measuring guide to work out the width and length you need. Your runner then arrives cut to size with serged edges, ready to install with no trimming. If your stairs turn at a landing, measure each straight run separately so the runner sits neatly on every flight.
