An even border
The runner is centered on every tread, so the same amount of dark wood shows on both sides from the bottom step to the top.

Custom Stair Runner Installation
A woven stair runner fitted over dark wood treads and carried through a turning landing, with an even wood border on every step.
At a glance
- Even border on every tread
- Landing cut to the stair's angles
- Texture kept straight from step to step
A runner changes how a staircase feels: softer and quieter underfoot, while the wood on either side still shows. The difference between a good runner and a great one is in how it’s fitted.
This staircase includes a turning landing, which is where many runner installations fall apart. Here, the landing piece is shaped to follow the stair so the runner reads as one continuous piece.

Look closer
The details that make it.
What to notice in this project, and why it matters for how the floor looks and lasts.
Through the landing
The landing is cut to the stair's own angles and meets the trim cleanly, so the runner flows through the turn instead of stopping at it.
Lines that stay straight
The woven texture runs straight up the staircase. If a runner drifts even slightly, lines like these show it right away.
