Preparation
When it comes to covering the staircases in your home, you have quite a few options. Some homeowners choose to take the custom route so they can select bespoke patterns in sturdy materials, and get a runner that fits their space perfectly. However, this approach is typically more expensive—and there is another path forward (or should we say upward?), so long as you are open to tackling the task yourself. To add a pop of color or punchy pattern to the stairs in your house, simply purchase a runner rug and wrangle the install. (We explain exactly how to measure your staircase and secure the runner to your flooring in this comprehensive guide.)
