Sometimes the jobs that look simple on paper reveal themselves as something quietly satisfying in reality. At Cavendish De Vere<\/strong>, we talk a lot about complex flooring challenges \u2014 the tricky repairs, late-night interventions, and perfectly matched restorations \u2014 but there\u2019s another side to our work that we take just as seriously: elegant, precision fitting in refined spaces<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The brief was straightforward: fit a close-fit stairway and landing, and create a bespoke sisal stair runner with a brown cotton border<\/strong><\/a> that complemented the interior palette.

The chosen runner was from Fenston & Carter\u2019s Natural Fibre collection<\/strong> \u2014 the Kersaint Cobb Tiger\u2019s Eye Sisal Stair Runner with Whipped Edge<\/em>. It\u2019s a material with personality: strong, tactile, and natural, woven from sisal that gives depth and subtle texture. The brown cotton border adds a layer of softness and definition, framing each step with a warmth that balances the robust natural fibre.<\/p>\n
