Got a landing halfway up your stairs? Make your design original and standout by fitting wooden flooring to your landing. Laminate flooring starts at $3 a metre and wood flooring at around $6. You will need around a metre so this is a great value tip as well as looking good.

It will be quick and easy to fit the simple shape. If you need help we can provide free advice. You can email us at wholesalestairrunners@gmail.com.

The stair runner job will become very easy by removing the Landing issue leaving you with the job of fitting a straight stair runner.

Paint brand Benjamin Moore, who creates the ultimate in clean and restful environments says that their Color of the year 2016 is Simply White OC-117. Set your stair runner project off to a great start with this winning and simple design formula.

Flooring in warm stone shades is easy on the eye and the mind as you see to your left. Natural flooring will never clash with white.

Restful and connected with nature, shades of white are just the ticket to wind down after a fast paced day at work.

Painting your stair tread is such a cheap and effective transformation if you have untidy paint work. Using black on the tread with contrasting white on the riser and is also practical when it comes to wiping off the odd scuff mark.

Use two or three thin coats and a slight sand with around 280 grit sandpaper if you're looking for a lustrous shine and an improved finish.

Sisal gold makes a rich finish to these painted stairs.

To create that magical timeless quality to your stair runner project try this sumptuous sisal chocolate stair runner which suggest centuries old workmanship in a modern world.

Sisal will maintain its appearance for years to come, particularly in this shade. If you want a lighter brighter feel try the sisal gold. This looks wonderful as you see to the right.

On a practical note. The stair runner itself will stop the paint becoming marked and make the stairs safe.
