We need to replace ours - stairs & floor are concrete so wood paint etc not an option. Have been looking for ages and choices seem to be :
plain light colour eg cream - looks beautiful but gets impossibly dirty so impratical for bad housewife with 3 kids
plain dark colour eg dark red - looks beautiful but shows all the fluff and dirt therefore totally impractical etc etc
patterned carpet - looks like your granny's house
There must be something else??????
