​Why Choose a Stair Runner from K. Powers & Company?

​​​​

  • Extensive Selection:  With hundreds of patterns, styles, and colors of broadloom available, our expansive showroom offers a comprehensive array of options to elevate your staircase's aesthetic.  Our oversized carpet samples are displayed on hangers and organized on racks, similar to a clothing store, allowing you to easily find the exact color and pattern you’re looking for.  Our samples are always available to borrow and try at home, making it easy to decide on the right pattern and color for your staircase.

  • Carpet Construction:  We offer carpet in a myriad of carpet weaves including flatweaves, woven Wilton carpets, Axminster carpets, tufted carpets, and hand-loomed carpets.  Our Stair Runner Buyer's Guide describes the benefits of each for use as a stair runner.

  • Expert Consultation:  Our trained interior design consultants will guide you through the selection process, considering factors such as your paint colors, furnishings, and lifestyle to ensure the perfect carpet choice for your stairs and halls.  A well-selected runner adds depth, warmth, and texture, complementing both modern and traditional interiors. They also help create visual continuity by tying together different design elements, from flooring to furniture and wall colors.  For homes with grand staircases, a luxurious stair runner enhances the architectural beauty, making the space feel more inviting and polished.   

  • In-home Consultation:  Prefer an in-home consultation?   Our consultants will call you to discuss your project and schedule a time to bring a selection of samples directly to your home.  Contact us to schedule at your convenience.

  • Durability and Safety:  When choosing a stair runner, durability and safety are paramount.  We offer various constructions, from patterned Wilton weaves and woven Axminsters to heavy-duty flatweave and tufted carpets, all tailored to withstand your family's lifestyle and traffic levels.  A well-chosen carpet runner will provide traction to prevent slips and falls.  It will also act as a barrier, preserving the integrity of your staircase, so choosing a durable carpet is of the utmost importance.

  • Customization:  We understand that every staircase is unique, that is why we measure every staircase for custom sizing and width to ensure a perfect fit for your stairs.  We'll discuss any unique aspects of your project, such as correct runner width, pattern layout on curved stairs or bridal staircases, and Hollywood or waterfall style installation to  ensure the finished runner meets your highest expectations.

  • Installation Options:  Whether you choose wall-to-wall installation, wall-to-spindle, or a custom-sized runner, we offer flexible installation options to match your needs. To achieve a polished look, we provide a variety of edge finishes, including narrow and wide carpet binding.  Available in a wide selection of colors, patterns and styles, our edge bandings are the perfect finish to complement your design.

Types of Stair Runner Installations

Hollywood or Waterfall Style Installation

​Choosing between a Hollywood or Waterfall style stair runner installation is the last step in the process..  Hollywood refers to the method where the carpet is wrapped over the edge of the stair and tacked tightly under the nosing, creating a tailored look.  In Waterfall style, the carpet is brought over the stair tread and straight down the riser, creating a flowing effect.
