Stair carpet. Are you yawning yet?

[meandjulio]

Ok, this is truly riveting to me. What stair carpet or covering do you have, and how much did it cost? I have got dh's agreement to replace the stair carpet which was pretty worn 15 years ago when he bought the house as an ex-rental. Not sure how long it's going to take to save up for it. Anyone with a life, sorry about this thread.

looks great

only problem with striped / patterned carpet in my opinion is that you are restricted to patterened wall coverings / paper. for example I love book case wall paper which I hung up to the right of that picture, but it all seems too busy? thought it was the papers design at first - thought of covering with a different one. then realised any patterned paper will clash!
if the flooring had been wood effect or plain my guess is I would have preferred it, and not be painting over it

bit of useless information there

this is my dream stair carpet

Have had no stair carpet at all for nearly 2 years now.

We are in the process of painting our hall, stairs and landing - old old lady carpet has been taken up and we are having a striped carpet laid next week - I am really looking forward to it all being done. 2 sets of stairs and 2 landings, underlay and fitting has come to £800- which I am pleased with - I have also bought extra to do the stair thing - and so we have some if the cats decide to wreck a bit of it.
