Dressing the Stairs: Red Carpet Ideas for Heritage Spaces

Stairs or staircases carry us from one floor to another, whether to ascend or descend going to our destination. In this blog, however, our journey in these platforms is more than just a transition, it is a symbol of how we moved forward as a nation. Today, we venture on the installation of elegant red carpets in Salvador H. Laurel Session Hall at the Apolinario Mabini Legislative Building located at the Capitol Site, Batangas. We shall expound on how these floor coverings enhanced the overall interior for our client as their space serves as the session hall for the Sangguniang Panlalawigan ng Batangas for the province’s Provincial Board.

For the hall’s staircase, our client opted for a stair runner. This allowed the original materials and form of the stairs to remain visible, especially on the edges. This contrast between the rich red textile and the neutral-colored floor tiles as well as the wood handles provided a neat-looking and elegant pathway. 

Our stair carpets are designed and tailored to cater heavy foot traffic and busy areas. Their appearance and composition are primarily aligned for the client’s needs in terms of durability, safety, and aesthetics. These floor covers are typically made from materials such as nylon, wool or polypropylene, which vary in pile type, design, and patterns to accommodate various preferences and interiors.

There’s more to stair carpets than what meets the eye. Let’s go over and discuss its functional benefits! In a huge, high-ceilinged heritage building, noise can echo, overwhelm, and distract. The carpet acts as a crucial sound and noise controller, absorbing footfalls and chatter. This creates a more hushed, intimate atmosphere, allowing visitors and employees to focus on their respective agendas without distracting noise.

Also crucial to point out is how carpets address safety and preservation. Carpeting the stairs increases traction, preventing slips and falls, ensuring everyone’s safety from unwanted accidents. Furthermore, a high-quality carpet acts as a protective layer for the vulnerable wooden or marble steps underneath, preserving the original structure from the wear and tear brought about by the large volume of visitors.

The color red has been a sign of prestige, power, and milestones. When translated into a stair carpet and draped down a staircase, it transforms the ordinary path and imparts an immediate sense of occasion, creating images of gala events and historic milestones. It’s a statement of luxury, lending a warmth and elegance that beautifully contrasts with light-colored marble and wood accents. In a heritage space, the red carpet doesn’t just cover the stairs; it dresses them in dignity, setting the stage for various experiences.
