Stair runner designing tip:  Often it is difficult to decide what type runner style to place on your steps. The step runner should match with the first floor decor.  Don't worry about the carpet or decor on the second floor. When shopping for a runner, carry a small bag (big zip-lock) of samples of your fabrics, wallpaper, paint.  These will help in matching colors.  Also, when you are in any decorating store, ask for samples.  Ask for samples of any product that you find appealing. Most decorating stores will send or give you free samples.  This will help you in deciding any decorating purchase.  Colors and designs that appeal to you show your individual style.   When you come across a decorating professional, they can look at your sample choices and lead you to those style and colors of the product you are looking for, including stair runners. Rug Rats also offers free samples.  If you see anything on our site that appeals to you
