Oriental Runner Rugs For Your Staircase

There’s nothing wrong with leaving your staircase bare except that… well… it can look pretty boring. A bare staircase lacks personality and flair. When left uncovered, a staircase is just a functional feature that acts as an access-way between the ground and top storey of your home.

But place an oriental runner rug down the length of the stairs and just like that you’ve made a stunning style statement!

Choosing an Oriental Runner Rug

The good news is you can find oriental runner rugs in an almost endless variety of lengths, widths, colors and patterns, all of them absolutely gorgeous to look at. The bad news is it can be really difficult to choose just one from among this fabulous selection.

The best way to start is to first measure the height and width of your staircase. Don’t forget to factor in the riser too. This is the vertical distance from one step to another.

Once you’ve got a fairly good idea of the measurements you need to be looking for, it’s time to browse through a few online Oriental rug stores. Make sure you only deal with reputable stores. Reading through their reviews and testimonials will tell you a lot about what their other customers have to say about them.

When you’ve found a store that seems trustworthy, browse through their selection of Oriental runner rugs. Try and visualize how each one would look in your home.

A darker color rug would give the staircase a more dramatic look and regal look while a lighter color rug would give the staircase a more sophisticated and elegant look. Which one is more reflective of your personal style?

The pattern size too can make a big difference to the overall look. Large size motifs are bolder and more flamboyant while smaller sized motifs are more delicate. What style do you want to portray?

Don’t forget about the colors. There are two ways to narrow down your choices when selecting the runner color. If you already have a color palette that you have used in your home décor you may want to look for a rug using the same shades of color or maybe you could go in for complementary color tones. If your interior décor is not set to any particular color, then use the earlier criteria – dark or light tones – to narrow down your options.

Take some time to think about the look you want to achieve. If you cannot find something that speaks to you at first look, take a break and go back to the site the next day. You’ll be surprised what a difference it can make.

Installing Your Oriental Runner Rug 

When installing an oriental runner rug over the staircase, it is so very important that it is done correctly. The runner rug needs to be affixed to the staircase firmly to prevent in such a way that it does not damage the rug but also does not pose a risk to anyone using the stairs.

This is not a DIY job however. The length and weight of the rug can make it cumbersome and the end result may not be a tad untidy. If you have never done this before, it may be a better idea to call in an experienced professional.
