How to Style Your Staircase with Carpets

Posted on - 17th July 2023

If you’re looking to transform your home on a budget without having to dedicate a lot of time to it, look no further! It is amazing how relatively small changes or additions can elevate the feel of your home. That is why we love styling staircases with carpet, adding a personal touch that showcases your style.

There are many benefits of having a carpeted staircase - an example is if you have children - adding carpets will make the stairs less of a slip hazard. If you have pets, the carpet will add a layer of protection by preventing your furry friends from scratching wooden staircases. The carpet will also muffle the sounds of creaky stairs, which can be essential for a busy family home! No matter your style, we have a vast array of carpets available so you’ll be sure to find one that is the perfect fit for your home.

Styles of Staircase Carpets

The options for a carpeted staircase are endless - you can opt for a boho aesthetic with a floral-inspired carpet if your home’s decor is boho-chic. Match your easygoing, nature-inspired vibe with a touch of fresh floral which will pair perfectly with a natural earthy palette. If you’d prefer an elegant style, you can level up your stairs with the yarn discretion carpet, so you can feel like you live in a stately home! You can always keep it au natural with a weave design carpet, perfect for a home with lots of wooden pieces.

No matter your unique home style, incorporating carpet on your staircase is the perfect addition to any home. Fitted carpets don’t just look great, they also offer an extra layer of insulation for an extra bit of warmth as well as being able to muffle sounds from creaky staircases. They are also cost-effective, as they protect your stairs from wear and tear. For areas with lots of foot traffic, such as the stairs, we recommend using a low pile carpet to make it easier to clean.

Staircase Carpet Runners

Do you love the look of carpeted stairs, but they just don’t seem like the right fit? Why not consider a carpet runner to bring an elegant touch to your staircase? Not only do they look the part, but they are very practical as well! All of our carpet runners are crafted from high-quality materials which make them durable. If you have a busy household with lots of dirty shoes and paws, then opt for a polypropylene carpet runner which offers stain resistance - this means your carpet runner will be long-lasting.

Our luxurious Aminster carpet runner is a statement piece, and is available in a range of patterns and colours - we love it in black with a painted white staircase for a classic monochrome look. However, if you’d prefer a pop of colour, then you will not be disappointed as the runner is available in 22 colours, ideal if you want to get the look of carpeted stairs on a smaller budget.

Customise Your Staircase with Carpets

When it comes to styling your carpet stairs, there is certainly no rulebook! You have full free range and artistic licence. If you’re all about bright and bold colours, there is nothing stopping you - go all out with the striking fresco carpet if you want a green colour scheme. Why not customise your carpet by creating unique shapes, such as a scalloped style on each step? It is touches like these that really make a home your own!
