Measuring steps for runners and carpeting: Count the number of steps. When ordering a stair runner from a bolt, you can figure 3 feet for every 2 steps, then add 1 foot for pattern match A good rule for runner sizes: leave 3"-4" of floor showing on either side of the step for a good stair runner width. For landings, add the total length and total width PLUS a pattern repeat. Pattern repeats can be found on the back of most stair runner samples. Stair runners and carpeting can be confusing! If you need any help or have a question, please e-mail Rug Rats. We would be happy to help you! For more Rug measuring tips and ideas, visit our Fine Carpets and Custom Rug Blog |
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 e-mail us with your address or send us a swatch of your fabric or decor sample, we will send you a carpet store to your mailbox! |
