What To Look For While Selecting The Carpets For Stairs

1. Mike’s Carpet Discounters info@mikescarpets.com.au What To Look For While Selecting The Carpets For Stairs? When it comes to carpeting your stairs, it’s important to take into account both practicality and style. After all, your stairs are one of the most highly trafficked areas in your home, and you want a carpet that will not only hold up to foot traffic but also add an element of design to your space. Consider the following options when looking for carpets: •Durability Look for carpeting that’s made from durable fibres like nylon or a blend of nylon and wool, as these materials can resist heavy traffic without showing signs of wear and tear. Additionally, consider getting a carpet with a low pile height, as this will make it less likely to unravel or snag over time. •Safety Safety should always be a top priority when carpeting your stairs, as slips and falls can be dangerous. Consider a textured or low-pile carpet, as this will provide more traction underfoot and reduce the likelihood of slips and falls. You could also opt for a carpet with a stair runner, which will cover only the centre strip of the stairs, leaving the edge exposed. This can add a touch of style to your stairs while also improving safety. •Style Of course, style is also an important factor when choosing carpet for your stairs. Your carpet should complement the style of your home, whether that’s sleek and modern or cosy and traditional. Neutral colours like beige, grey, or cream are always a safe bet, but don’t be afraid to get more adventurous with patterns or textures. Ensure that whatever you choose is easy to clean and maintain.

Stairs tend to accumulate dirt and debris, so you want a carpet that can be easily vacuumed or spot-cleaned. Be sure to choose a carpet with a stain- resistant finish if you have kids or pets, as spills can happen at any time.
