5 Striped Stair Carpet Ideas to Modernise Your Home
Your staircase is one of the core, if not the core focal point of your hallway. However, staircases naturally see their fair share of wear and tear through the years through constant foot traffic, which can lead them to look tired, worn out and in desperate need of revitalising. This is extremely important to consider when you’re thinking of our striped stair carpet ideas for your home or commercial space.
One of the most popular and modern ways to revamp your staircase is through a stair carpet, but we’ll be looking specifically at striped stair carpet ideas for those of you looking for something more intriguing than black, white or grey block colour designs.
We’ll be looking at a range of different colour striped stair carpet ideas as well as what different designs and materials work with different staircases and interior house designs. But before we look at some of our favourite striped stair carpet ideas, let’s talk about what carpet is best for stairs.
What is the Best Carpet for Stairs?
Whether you’re buying striped carpeted stairs, block-coloured or something traditional, it’s essential you buy from a company that uses great materials in the creation of their stair carpets. Synthetic nylon is one of the preferred materials because of its high-traffic durability and strength (great if you have kids or pets at home). However, cotton is a fantastic alternative if you’re looking for something more soft on the touch and more classy.
Most of our striped stair carpets are made from predominantly wool, with small amounts of nylon or polyamide running through. So, let’s take a look at some striped stair carpet ideas to transform your staircase and hallway.
Avenue Design With Beige Carpet
This design is among our most versatile striped stair carpet ideas. Made from 80% pure wool and 20% nylon (with an Axminster construction), this striped runner is ideal for both high traffic homes as well as quieter ones. A contemporary design that would look great on natural wood staircases, as well as white staircases.
As this is a beige carpet, it will combine well with whites and traditional decor (woods, oaks, browns etc). Combine our avenue design with a satin nickel stair rod for a classy, elegant finish.
Star Striped Carpet Runner
While not strictly a striped stair carpet idea, this design offers the same aesthetic appeal as a striped runner. This striped runner is more tailored to modern homes due to its minimalist black and white design. It would look fantastic on a white or grey staircase as these neutral colours would merge well with the runner’s stary black and white design.
However, if your stairs are two-toned white and wood (wood treads and white risers), this striped runner will also look great. The same goes with full wooden stairs, with darker woods (mahogany and walnut) looking better.
This star-striped runner is also available in red if you’re looking for something truly eye-catching.
Black Avenue Striped Runner
This black runner with beige stripes is another modern striped stair carpet idea to consider if your hallway is predominantly black and white. This runner is also ideal for commercial spaces, such as office blocks or lining staircases in high-rise flats due to its durable design and colour scheme which helps to mask dirt and general wear and tear.
As with other striped stair carpets in this list, this runner is very simple to install and can be completed by the average DIYer. Our Axminster qualities are woven on a state-of-the-art loom equipped with the latest technology. This runner consists of a dense, heavy weave, ideal for high traffic areas. You can also take advantage of our bespoke service that allows you to create your own Axminster striped carpet for your staircase.
Ivory Striped Carpet Runner
This design is one of our most elegant and versatile designs. Aimed more towards residential spaces than commercial, our ivory striped stair carpet looks fantastic on almost any staircase, whether it’s dark or light wood or white. Beige is a naturally versatile colour, making it a strong design choice for any staircase.
This is a contemporary stair runner and is designed to transform staircases into focal points and centrepieces of any home.
Black and Multi-Striped Avenue Runner
Another fine example of how commercial stair runners don’t have to be bland, our multi-striped Avenue runner on black ground is designed with durability and style in mind. The multicoloured stripes offer a welcoming contrast to the classic black carpet for a sleek and stylish finish. This design can also be used to line hallways if you’re considering some hallway ideas.
Like our other Avenue striped stair carpet ideas, you can rest assured this design will stand up to heavy foot traffic while retaining its appearance.
