  • Pre-Made Pattern: When choosing the patterned runners for your staircase, make sure to select the pattern that will work on the stair. Some designs look good over the long and flat surfaces but don’t look right over the curved stair. For the straight staircase, choose the precise pattern like diamond, square and geometric design. On the other hand, the floral designs are mostly found in oriental rugs, and these do not require as precision as the geometric to create a finished look.
  • Custom Runners: If you are one among them who does not prefer the pattern on the runner, you can go with custom runners made out of broadloom are best to you. This type of runners can be cut to the exact specification and finished.
