The collected home · A Kildare Carpets & Flooring project
A sweeping
statement.
Warm texture, a crisp black border and a thread of brass bring a bespoke staircase into harmony with its surroundings.
With its sweeping handrail, softly toned timber and elegant wall panelling, this entrance already had a distinctive character. The client’s brief was to create a stair runner that would complement the palette of the house and feel entirely at home within it.
Kildare Carpets & Flooring crafted a runner in warm, textured neutrals, framed with a confident black trim. Following the curve of the staircase, the border creates a clean, continuous line, defining each step while leaving the timber visible on either side.
The finishing touch is a series of elegant brass stair rods. Their warm gleam echoes the brass inlay in the flooring below, drawing the two surfaces into one cohesive design. Viewed from the hallway, they lend a gentle rhythm to the ascent; from above, the relationship between the runner, curved staircase and herringbone floor becomes beautifully clear.
Soft texture meets precise definition. Timber and brass carry through from floor to stair. The result is an entrance with presence, warmth and a sense that every element belongs.

Two ways to dress your stairs
Runner or full
stair carpet?
A runner leaves timber visible at the sides, drawing the eye along the staircase. A full stair carpet covers the width of the treads for softness across the entire staircase.
The right choice depends on your staircase, the condition of the exposed timber and the look you want throughout the hall and landing. We can help you compare both approaches and select a carpet suited to use on stairs.

Call 01 627 9509Your stair runner questions
Your questions,
answered.
Can I choose the width and border of my stair runner?
Yes. We can discuss runner proportions and edging options around your chosen carpet. The final width and edging will depend on the staircase dimensions, material and fitting requirements.
Can you fit a runner on a curved staircase or winding steps?
Curves and winding steps need individual assessment. Bring photographs to the showroom so we can discuss the possibilities, then confirm the design and fitting approach after measuring.
What carpet is suitable for a stair runner?
The carpet must be suitable for stair use. Texture, construction, pattern and everyday use all matter. Our team can help you compare suitable options and check the product specifications for your project.
Can the runner continue onto the landing?
We can explore a coordinated scheme for your stairs and landing. Pattern direction, joins and transitions depend on the layout and chosen carpet, so we plan the stairs and landing together.
Do I need stair rods?
Stair rods are an optional decorative detail, not a substitute for correctly securing the carpet. We can discuss which styles complement your staircase and chosen carpet.
How do I arrange measuring and a quotation?
Leave your details below or call 01 627 9509. We will discuss your location and staircase, arrange the next steps and confirm the scope of your quotation. Timing depends on the chosen materials and fitting schedule.
Stair carpet choices
Pattern, practicality and the fitted cost.
Striped carpet for stairs
Stripes can draw the eye up a staircase and connect the hall with the landing. Herringbone brings a finer repeated pattern; a plain runner with a contrasting border creates a clean outline. Turning steps and landing joins need careful planning so the design works across the full staircase.
Which carpet is best for stairs?
Begin with a carpet approved for stair use, then compare the construction, feel and care requirements. Stairs concentrate wear around the front of each tread. Tell us about everyday footfall and pets, and look at the carpet alongside the painted timber, handrail and hall flooring.
What affects the cost of carpet for stairs and landing?
The quotation depends on the chosen carpet, stair shape, landing dimensions, pattern matching, underlay and fitting. Binding, borders and decorative rods add separate choices. A curved staircase or winding steps can require more detailed work than a straight flight.
Ask for the total fitted price and the agreed scope, including any preparation, uplift or disposal. For a Dublin or Kildare project, contact our Celbridge team with your location and staircase photographs to arrange free measuring and a quotation.
