from local staircase builders
How could one make the stairs attractive? Easy. Through carpets and runners. Here are some beautiful stair decorations which you could get inspiration from.
For the Simple and Elegant
Simplicity is beauty and it is indeed with these textured, earth-toned carpets. They only have a little dark accent on the sides, but the elegance exuded by these two carpets are classicaly strong.
These are perfect for simple modern or a rustic type of home.
For the Exquisite and the Bold
Only a few can pull off animal prints -- on their stairs. It’s basically a wild choice, noting that you have to match the stairs with the rest of your house details. So, if you you long for a fierce and upbeat element in your house and a certain “woah” from your visitors, you could try clothing your stairs with animal prints.
No, of course, they’re not made from the real antelopes, leopards and zebras. That would be cruel. They’re just prints. And they’re all too cool.
For the Subtle Creatives
If you want something that’s kind of different, but not too bold, then the patterned runners would be perfect for your home. It’s a nice way to add a little spice in your home when you don’t want to go overboard.
Pick prints which are black, white or earth colors to tone down the loudness. The effect would be a smooth alteration from the usual -- different, but still charming.
For the Unique and Quirky
If you have a fun-loving and bubbly personality, let it come out on your staircase. Deviate from the normal and pick out carpets in bold colors, carpets with too colorful stripes or carpets with unsual patterns.
Just make sure that your stairs is raw enough to let the carpet eat it. In other words, your stairs should be constructlively simple. If they’re zigzag and you integrate and all too complicated print, it’ll appear dizzy and messy.
