Now, I’ve seen polypropylene products before, but this was the most natural looking I’ve seen yet. It wasn’t shiny and didn’t look like plastic at all. It really looked like a natural fiber rug. Textured fabrics: Incorporate textured fabrics into your home décor, such as knit throws, velvet curtains and woven baskets. Textured elements add depth and visual interest, making your space feel cosier and more inviting. Plush rugs: Lay down plush rugs in high-traffic areas, such as the living room and bedroom, to provide softness underfoot and create a sense of luxury. Opt for rugs with warm colours and textures that invite you to sink your toes into their soft embrace, making your home feel more inviting. Artwork: Hang artwork that resonates with your personal taste and evokes positive emotions. Art has the power to create a welcoming atmosphere and inject character into your home. Choose paintings or prints with warm tones and subjects that resonate with you, making your living space feel cosier and more intimate. Selecting the right stair carpet for your home is a decision that involves careful consideration of various factors. Here are the most important factors to consider:

Here are a few things to consider when considering the best material for your stair runner: Do you have pets or kids?

A safe and cosy home with stair carpet

As Sisal stair carpets are natural fibre rugs, they’re quite absorbent and so spills should be cleaned as soon as possible. Do not steam clean or use wet shampoo on your carpet. Based on the tips above, browse our offerings to find the best carpet for your needs and lifestyle. Wools, natural fibers and synthetics all have a place in the home and make fantastic stair runners. One of my very popular posts about natural stone countertops came from information gleaned through one of these valuable CEU’s. Stair carpets also have the remarkable ability to make a home feel more welcoming and inviting. As guests walk on the staircase, the soft and plush texture underfoot evokes a sense of comfort and hospitality. The visual appeal of a well-coordinated carpet design contributes to the overall impression of a thoughtfully curated and cared-for interior, creating an atmosphere of tranquillity and warmth. How to choose the right stair carpet As mentioned above, wool is a cleanable, classic choice. But modern synthetic materials like polypropylene, nylon, poly silk, SynSisal® or even vinyl are great choices for staircases too. They provide stain-resistance and durability, plus colorful options and a wide variety of patterns. What color carpet is best for stairs?

Budget: Set a budget before shopping for a stair carpet to narrow down your options and avoid overspending. Remember that stair carpets come in various price ranges, and there are quality options available at different price points. Stair treads are designed to protect your staircase from scratches and scuffs while providing traction and cushioning for increased safety. Stair tread sets consist of several small rugs that fit perfectly atop a stair, covering the center of the step where the highest levels of traffic occur. Dean Flooring Company offers a large selection of stair treads to choose from including beautiful sisal natural fiber stair treads. Sisal stair treads are thin and durable, but have a natural look and feel that's perfect for minimalist decor, nautical themes and seaside homes.

You can cut them to any size or shape, they don’t shed fibers, are easy to clean and won’t stain, there’s no musty organic smell that often accompanies a natural fiber rug, and they aren’t slippery on stairs. Lots of nice attributes for a stair carpet or any rug, I would say!

So, because I’m a working designer, because I have to do some CEU’s or continuing education every year to keep my ASID professional affiliation, I attended a seminar about carpet fibers at a local showroom this past week. Plants and greenery: Introduce houseplants throughout your living spaces to bring a touch of nature indoors. Plants not only improve air quality but also add a refreshing and calming element to any room. Incorporate various sizes and types of greenery, from small succulents to larger potted plants, to create a harmonious and inviting environment. It’s a good idea to look at samples (many outlets will send them to you in the post) and consider different materials and colours. Personal touches: Display personal memories, family photographs and cherished keepsakes throughout your home. These sentimental touches contribute to a warm and comforting environment that reflects your unique personality and experiences. Sisal stair mats provide the perfect combination of design and functionality. With their curable coarse structure, not only do these natural stair mats ensure safety and stability underfoot, but they offer the perfect touch to your already modern home design. Sisal stair mats also fit perfectly with wooden staircases and wooden furniture, as well as more modern and contemporary designs.Style: a professional can help you decide on the style of installation you want. For example, do you want waterfall style or Hollywood (aka French Cap or upholstered method)? How much, if any, flooring do you want exposed on either side of the runner? If your home is bustling with playful energy, opting for an easy to clean material is smart. Wool is an excellent choice, thanks to its durability, cleanability and insulating properties (for both noise and warmth). Our exclusive SynSisal® is also a great option for high traffic areas. With its stain-resistant ECONYL® fibers and gorgeous sisal-look, a weave from this collection makes a smart and classy stair runner. Do you love natural fibers like sisal, jute, seagrass or coir?

Size: Measure the dimensions of your staircase accurately to determine the required size of the carpet. Ensure that the carpet fits snugly on each stair tread and does not extend beyond the edges to avoid tripping hazards. If you prefer a more contemporary look, you can opt for a "runner" style carpet, which covers only the centre portion of the stair treads, leaving the edges exposed.
