Buying a stair runner is a great acquisition to add style to your stairs at home and the surrounding decor. Also, if you have children or pets, getting stair runners will provide safety to the environment, without the stair runner the stairs can be slippery even for yourself.
There are usually two options to get runner rugs for your stairs, the first one will be buying standard runner size, or you could also get cut roll runners that adjust precisely to your needs. Now to measure the right roll runner length we recommend the following steps: steps:
-
Measure both the horizontal step and the vertical part of the step.
-
Then count the number of steps. Be sure to include the last riser, which leads to the upper landing.
-
Multiply the number of steps by the total inches per stair.
-
Then divide by 12 to get the total linear feet necessary for your straight stairs.
-
We recommend adding one extra foot of runner length to your total, just to be safe.
