Need help with Hall and Stairway Runner
Need some advice.
This is my hallway. I went to a carpet store today and presented him with my problem. The present hallway rug and stair runner(leftover from prior owner) goes all the way up into the upstairs hall and runs in the downstairs hall with a wider piece in the foyer area. I hope you can sort of see it in this photo. Well, I was planning to cover the floor in the same way because I was unsure of the conditon of the floor underneath. My sister-in-law just came over and we ripped up the foyer part and downstairs hall. He floors are in great condition. Now what should I do? Do I just do the steps..do I get a matching piece for the foyer..do I also do the runner in the downastairs hall ..do I continue it upstairs??? Does anyone have any photos or suggestions. At least I feel like I have options which can also save me some money$$$

New hallway and stair runner finally!
Comments (20)Wow, newhomebuilder, thankyou! I love your home and mine can't even compare to yours. I actually posted a photo of the outside recently..something tiled "need help with exterior trim" I think if you click on the photo above it will bring you to my photobucket photos. It was a dump when we bought it and my husband re-did everything..kitchen, 4 baths, porches, basement apt. for my mom. It's hard when you try to redecorate with what you have. Change one thing, and it throws off everything else.It's like the domino effect! I am trying to do the best with as little money as possible. I finally got rid of the old owner's navy blue with rose colored flower runner. It was hideous and went with nothing, but my daughter's upcoming wedding was a good excuse to talk my husband into getting rid of it....See Moreneed help with runner for long hallway

Comments (3)Can you show the living area next to the staircase? You have so many color elements going on--golden brown tile, reddish brown steps and banister, a patch of turquoise, what looks like navy and white rug, yellow chair. So lets look at the fixed elements: gold/brown tile and steps and banister. The runner should go with those basics with some possible small areas of color. A golden sisal with reddish brown binding could work. Or a print or tweed in golds, reddish brown, a bit of yellow.

Comments (12)The wool runner is made by Prestige Mills, USA, the design is "Findley" and the color is "Mineral". We had it installed by C. G. Coe & Son in Bethesda, MD. who did an amazing job. I'm really happy with it - it feels great to walk on and like its going to hold up & wear well. My cat likes it as well! He was sliding all over the bare wood stairs when he'd run up & down them playing... now he can run up the stairs with reckless abandon!...See MoreUser
