At B&R Carpet Company, we offer a wide range of traditional stair runners, including classic striped designs, heritage-inspired patterns and timeless flatweaves suited to both period and traditional interiors. We work with leading manufacturers including Alternative Flooring, The Woven Edge and Off The Loom, providing a variety of styles, textures and finishes to suit different homes.

Traditional stair runners are a popular choice as they are an opportunity to inject some personality and flair whilst enhancing original features such as wooden bannisters, tiled hallways and period detailing - whilst also adding comfort and practicality underfoot.  Our collection includes wool flatweaves, striped runners, classic neutrals and patterned designs that balance traditional style with everyday practicality. To add a personal touch to your project, each runner can be tailored to your taste with different types of edging like whipping and a wide variety of bindings.

Our team manages every step of the process from the initial consultation, measuring, installation and aftercare advice. Book a visit to our West Hampstead showroom to begin your stair runner project.

What our clients say

  • - Nancy Karches -

    Best experience working with B&R carpet. Got a fabulous long lasting stair runner. It's synthetic sisal... highly recommend. It looks just like the real thing but can withstand dirt and water. The install was seamless and fast

  • - Rachel Boothroyd -

    Excellent service. Love my new stairway carpet. Particularly appreciated clear communication on timescales for delivery.

  • - Hacer Hagar -

    We recently had our stair and landing carpet fitted and we are absolutely delighted with the result. The whole process was smooth and stress-free from start to finish.

    Stephen was incredibly helpful throughout and has a fantastic eye for detail, which really made a difference. Jamie did an excellent job with the installation — the finish is flawless.

    We couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend them!

  • - Hugo & Robyn -

    Chris, Stephen and the whole team were fantastic in helping us decide on a new carpet for our home, providing advice on flooring and arranging the fitters who were super friendly and efficient. In all, a great experience!
