Hate new stair carpet

[ilkleymoorbartat]

Total first world problems I realise. Have attached pics. Gah, I hate it! I don’t know exactly what I’m asking but aibu, and if not what should I do!

I just coming back to say I LOVE the black woodwork!! It’s the walls you need to change!

I think it's just the starkness of the walls. It looks very 'bare'.
It might be cheaper and nicer to put a colour on the walls.
Take the photo with you and get ideas from a good paint shop who do colour mixing. Better to spend a bit more on a good paint. The sides of the risers and treads also need to be painted. Then choose some appealing artwork for the walls.

[quote HelloFrostyMorning]@ilkleymoorbartat It's not awful, but I don't love it either. It's not so bad that I would remove it, but it does look a bit 'industrial' like something you'd see in a business/office block. Also looks a bit like a private let house. Not being a snob, and we have rented privately, and now rent social housing, but it does look a bit like something a private landlord would stick down as it's hard wearing and inexpensive.

Nice set of stairs though! [/quote]
Those stair runners are really really expensive! As have to be custom made. In my old place we had similar placed (with stair rods mind) and cost us well over a thousand

Classy and appears to suit the colour scheme. I don't think you'll notice after a while.
