Stripey stair carpets?

[Shakey1500]

Hi, we're currently renovating our new house. Will probably be there for the foreseeable.

I'm thinking of having a striped carpet going up the stairs. My question is, what would look ok/nicer. A stripey carpet JUST going up the stairs then a plain carpet on the landing/in the bedrooms. OR a stripey carpet going up the stairs AND covering the landing stopping short of each bedroom?

I've got dark wod flooring in the hallway with olive green/stone painted walls (stone on the stairway hall) with white woodwork. So I was thinking a an olivey/browny/stoney type striped affair.

Thanks

not sure which you'd prefer, i have stripey carpet on my stairs and landing, it matches and i like this.
i'm not a fan of plain carpets as i have 4 kids and several pets, so find stains easier to hide using patterns, there aren't many stains but they're hidden better than they would've been on a plain carpet.

Ooh I am interested to hear responses!

My bf has just had striped carpet put on her stairs and landing in blue and gold tones. Nice, stops short of the bedrooms, though.

I agree with all the way through.
Very . Our hall, stair and landing is a nasty navy with goldy medallions which came with the house.
Shows the cat hairs up a treat.

I'd do it on just the stairs then pick out one of the colours to run the landing/bedrooms together. To get the landing stripes to go the same way as the stair stripes (vertical) would need a massively wide carpet to not have any joins. If you decide to have the landing carpet running horizontally to stop that hassle, then it's not going to look as "together" imo & you'd be as well having a plain toning carpet. It's a way of making the stairs a feature & to continue on the landing/bedrooms would limit your decor choices more upstairs.

I'll be doing this at some point in the future and I am doing stripey carpet on the stairs and landing.

Usually they do the landing part first and then the stairs so that they can match in the stripes. My stairs lead directly onto the landing (in a straight line) and it is a square landing.

I will be picking out one of the sandy beige colours of the stripey carpet to tone in with the bedroom carpets (all need doing)

A word of advice when choosing a stair carpet, get the sample and bend it like it would be bent going over the stairs. Make sure that the carpet is thick enough so that you don't see the backing from the front.

We have stripy carpet on stairs, middle landing and all along upstairs landing. Upstairs landing is at right angles to stairs and so are stripes. It works.

Just finished renovating our house with a stripy carpet on the stairs & landing in beige/brown/cream/duckegg blue, bedroom carpets are cream to match one of the colours in the stair carpet. It is absolutely gorgeous.

BTW for some technical reason as the stairs are 90* to the landing, the stripes had to be horizontal on the landing rather than along the line of the landing - if you see what i mean - as we have a long landing this meant we had to have a join but would have been the same whatever sort of carpet we went for. You cannot tell there is a join!

We have oak floor in the hallway, blue toned striped stairs and then cream carpet that starts on the top landing and continues into the bedrooms.

Looks lovely.

Thanks for all the replies!

You know, I never considered which way the stripes would go on the landing etc NOW having thought about it, when you reach the top of the stairs, it is narrow across ways so, I think it will have to stop at the top of the stairs, with beige/cream whatever on the landing/in bedrooms.

Thanks again

As long as you make sure the tone of the cream matches to tone of the stripes it will look fine.
