Stair tread rugs
can provide at least two major benefits to any stairway. Number one,
they can turn an ordinary staircase into something spectacular. Number
two, they can actually provide stair users with additional traction as
long as they're installed correctly. Stair tread rugs can become a
safety hazard, if they're loose or damaged.
What does your house look like or what do you want it to look like?
Just because you like blue doesn't mean that blue is going to look good,
in your home. Even if blue does look good in your home, will it look
good in your home, if you change anything else, later (carpeting,
flooring, furniture, handrailing).
These are questions that you need to be concerned with, whenever you're
purchasing carpeting for the entire house, but you really don't need to
worry about it, when you're purchasing stair tread rugs. It's not hard
to find a set of these rugs for under $100 and that makes them
affordable, especially if you're planning on mixing up a few things,
around the house.
Remember, I'm a stair builder, contractor and writer, but my interior
decorating skills are limited. The best advice I can give you, would be
to find a color that matches your existing flooring or something close
to it.
These Rugs Collect Dirt
Even though I'm not an interior decorator, I know a little something
about dirt and the color white. If you have children, pets or even a
husband who loves working around the house, you should avoid purchasing
any light colored stair tread rugs or other coverings.
Fasten Them Securely
Make sure that you read and understand the manufacturer's installation
instructions and purchase the correct adhesive, tape or backing.
