'A wool runner is extremely practical and offers the best of both worlds – a hard floor at the edges, with softness, texture and colour in the middle.' Whilst softly textured, neutral monochromes are perfect for creating tranquil, welcoming spaces.' 'From bright repeating stripes to classic border designs, Roger Oates Design flat weave runners take centre stage in bold schemes. Runners introduce colour, pattern and texture and create an instant first impression,' explains Andy Guard, Creative Director, Roger Oates Design. 'Adding a stair runner into your home can completely convert a space. Just ensure the wood choice reflects the aesthetic of the surrounding decorating scheme. This idea will suit a country hallway best but can be adapted to work in a more modern setting. A traditional striped stair runner design in sage green is finished beautifully with the use of wooden stair rods which add further character to the decorating scheme. In this classic country-style hallway the decor is simple and classic but still oozes country charm thanks to thoughtful design touches. Using a simple hallway runner to add a splash of the same warmth to the wider floor area. When using a bold colour on the stairs choosing to coordinate the colour throughout the rest of the hallway decor is a nice touch.

They also create a striking focal point transforming a space that can sometimes be dark or uninviting into one full of warmth, colour and character,' says Andy Guard, Creative Director, Roger Oates Design (opens in new tab). 'Not only are soft floor-coverings more comfortable underfoot. The stairs are painted in a brilliant white gloss to offset the colourful stair runner idea. The bold use of colour is softened by a contrasting light grey stripe in-between each rich red and orange shade. Choose a bold design, whether that be the colour or the pattern – or both! Use a carpet design that sings with personality, like this fine example by Roger Oates. Make your stair runner the show-stopper of the hallway decor.
