Installing stair runner
As I mentioned installing stair runner (like an Oriental stair runner), I must say it's not for everybody. Despite my sincere efforts to do it right, I've failed many times, so I find it sometimes impossible even for the handiest housewives. You should just let the professionals do their job, because they are the people who really know how to install a runner on stairs.
As for installing a braided stair runner, this is a completely different thing. It's like playing with dolls. I've done it successfully for a few stairs in my home and it's easy and fast. The result is very satisfying – beautifully looking stairs full of bright colors and lovely patterns, and the most important - comfortable feel under your feet – just perfect.

When it comes to choose the perfect stair runner carpet for your home you should consider many things:
- Braided or oriental stair runner is cheaper - depends on the brand, but usually the braided stair runners are cheaper and cover more area of your stairs.
- Rectangle or oval braided stair runner – depends only on your decision. My advice - I prefer rectangles because they cover more area.
- The wide range of color combinations and beautiful patterns can complement any décor – what you need to do is choose the ones that will match your decor. And if you combine your braided stair runners with a matching braided rug for your entrance – it will be perfect combination.
