This is good advice for those that want carpet runners.
Enjoy the holiday weekend!
I expect it's more than just young kids who have a tendency to trip on those rods! I know one home inspector who has.
Great post Debbie. I doubt that carpet runners will ever go out of style completely, they serve so many purposes.
Ginny - yes, hollywood style is the best. You'll recover, soon.
Roy - Thank you so much, and same to you.
Jay - Yes, it's everyone...humans of all ages, and dogs. Cats are usually fine either way.
Wish you were in Huntington.. we have to put runners on our steps because our Bulldog just had a bad fall...
Hi Debbie - another information-packed post on carpet runner trends. I'm still amazed at the number of homes with stair rods -- I guess I'm a believer in "less is more" -- and that's what makes the world go-round.
Roger - Yes, exactly.
Richard & Beth - Oh so sorry to hear that. But, I hope the runner helps. Cute picture. Hugs from Westchester.
Michael - That's interesting. I don't see that many rods...and often when I do, the new homeowner wants them removed.
Debbie excellent information here. Wood stairs can be on the slippery side, and carpet runners sure do make them a lot safer.
Sharon - Thanks. We get lots of requests for them.
George - Yes, they certainly do.
Tammie - Yes, there really are so many options now.
Patricia - Yes, that will really help Willie.
Great tips to know Debbie & I love that Hollywood look...I'm so glad that this is one choice I do not need to make...the bathroom rehab has done me in!
