From high-end luxury art rugs to machine-made and accessible designs—and now to eco-friendly modular options—carpets have truly come a long way as essential home furnishings. Today, beyond serving as soft surface flooring, carpets are also used to cover stairs and staircases. In this blog, we’ll explore our client’s stairway carpet installation: a functional and elegant way to elevate the beauty and comfort of their home.

While we are talking about homes, it is worthy to point out that in addition to it being a place for family and loved ones, it is also a space that should be safe and ideally, accident-proof. Most homes now have more than one story and as such, stairs serve as more than just a space to move from one floor to another, it is a high-traffic area that poses some risks to everyone in the house. Slips and falls are known to have adverse health impacts and could result in high hospital or medicinal costs.

Fortunately, carpets for stairways are now available to address these risks. Carpets enhance safety by offering better traction or grip, which drastically lowers the chance of slips and falls, unlike smoother surfaces such as wood or tile. This benefit is particularly valuable in households with children, seniors, or pets. Furthermore, carpets provide a cushioned landing that can lessen or prevent injuries if a fall occurs. Contemporary stair carpets are also tailored to be durable, capable of enduring heavy foot traffic and resisting stains and fading, thus guaranteeing a long lifespan with proper care and maintenance.

Aside from its convenient functions, carpets also excel in comfort and aesthetics. These offer a softer, more comfortable surface for stairs, especially when barefoot, and additionally, provide insulation, making them feel cozy and inviting. Carpets also act as a sound absorber, softening the noise of footsteps and reducing sound transmission between floors, which contributes to a quieter environment in multi-level homes. Additionally, the wide range of colors, patterns, and textures available allows homeowners to personalize their staircases to complement or enhance their interior décor.

Our client opted to cover their wood-surfaced two-flight stairway with light-wood colored carpets. From the choice of color alone, the carpet enhanced the overall look of the stairway by emphasizing the steps. The light color of the carpet means that the steps will be more visible to people in the house even during the night, helping avoid missed steps. Evidently, carpets do elevate our homes, hitting two birds in one stone: making it safer and more pleasing for family and loved ones.
