8. Paint Your Stairs!
If none of the runner options appeal to you, why not get creative and hand-paint your stairs? Decide on a pattern and go to town!
9. Geometric Shapes
If you’re looking for a sleeker runner that doesn’t look like it belongs in your grandmother’s home, a geometric runner is just what your stairs need!
Bonus points if it has colors that tie in your hallway!
10. Open Stair Runner
What if you have an open staircase in your home? Don’t worry! There’s a runner for everyone!
Only in this case, it’s a plethora of small runners, each individually placed on a stair!
11. Custom Runner
Most staircases don’t abide by a specific size of stairs, they’re all usually unique! The best course of action here is to get a custom runner!
These stairs spiral up and widen at the bottom, and the custom runner fits them perfectly!
12. Bold Color
If you’re someone who likes to bend the rules and color outside the lines, go for a bold runner color! It will brighten up the space and give the stairs new life!
13. Bold Border
If you’re not ready to commit to a brightly colored runner, at least go for a colorful border! This green runner sports a red border that finely outlines it!
14. Match the Rest of the Home
If you don’t want the stairs to be a focal point, pick out colors that match the rest of your house! This way the space will be more cohesive and equal!
15. Herringbone Stair Runner
This is the perfect runner for those who like traditional but are not too flashy! We all love to see herringbone tile in a kitchen, but it looks stunning on a stair runner as well!
16. Notice the Neutrals
Apart from pairing well with their own kind, neutrals look amazing with bolder colors as well! They are perfect when you’d like to tone it down a notch!
17. Jute Stair Runner
A jute runner will give your space some much-needed texture and warmth!
18. Add Stair Rods
If you’d like to give your existing runner a facelift, stair rods are the ones for the job! They mostly come in gold, silver, and black, suitable for any style!
19. Farmhouse Stair Runner
If you’re going for a farmhouse vibe in your home, your rugs and carpets have to reflect that, so choose your runner carefully!
20. Modern Black
A lot of people shy away from black furniture and decor, but we like to embrace it! A black rug will perfectly contrast your pristine white floors and walls! Black and white are timeless after all!
