Stair runners — Richmond TW10

Bespoke stair runners for Richmond's riverside homes.

Richmond's Georgian and Victorian houses, many close to the river or Richmond Park, tend to have generous, well-proportioned staircases. A bespoke runner is one of the simplest ways to bring warmth and character to a stair that's often the first thing visitors see.

Materials

Materials that work in Richmond properties.

Plain wool-nylon mix stair runner detail, Richmond

Practical & hard-wearing

Wool-Nylon Mix, Plain

A plain wool-nylon mix gives Richmond's family staircases a durable, low-maintenance option that still looks considered — a practical choice for the busier households near the park and river.

Red and gold patterned stair runner, Richmond period property

Traditional & formal

Rich Colour & Pattern

For Richmond's grander Georgian townhouses, a richer patterned runner in warm reds and golds suits the formal proportions of the staircase and hallway. We bring samples to your Richmond home so you can compare materials in your own light before committing.

Every runner has a story.

The Zebra Fat — bold zebra print stair runner with black border

The Giant Leopard Gold Fat — large-spot leopard print stair runner with black border

The Augustus — multi-coloured striped wool stair runner with chocolate brown border

The Heathrow Runway — black and white geometric patterned stair runner

We've fitted hundreds of stair runners and staircases across London, and we write up many of the more interesting ones on our blog. Have a flick through our stair runner project archive to see the range of what's possible. If you'd like to see the full range of designs before you commit to a material, our sister company Fenston Carter stocks a much wider selection than we can show on this page — browse the full stair runner collection for inspiration.

Edge finishes

Cotton borders
& edge finishes.

Patterned stair runner edge detail, Richmond

A contrasting cotton border adds a tailored finish to a Richmond staircase, whether it's a plain wool-nylon runner in a family home or a richer patterned weave in a period townhouse. For a plainer look, a clean whipped edge suits both just as well. We stitch every finish in our Wimbledon workshop and check every seam before it leaves for installation.

We also supply and install premium branded runners including Roger Oates, Louis De Poortere and Alternative Flooring for Richmond clients who have specified a particular brand.

Process

The process in Richmond.

Estimate

It's really as simple as sending in a short video of your staircase via WhatsApp, with any dimensions you have and what type of runner you have in mind. We come back with a detailed estimate inside 24 hours on a weekday — no site visit required.

Samples & spec

Once you accept, we can send samples in the post or bring them to your Richmond home so you see the carpet in your own light. We confirm material, pile, width and edge finish — or work from your designer's spec.

Templating

For winders, tight curves or unusual staircases, we return to build paper templates of every step. Non-negotiable on complex jobs — it's what guarantees the fit.

Make & install

The runner is cut, shaped and edge-finished in our Wimbledon workshop, every seam inspected before it leaves, then fitted at a time that suits you — including evenings and weekends.

Indicative pricing

What does a bespoke stair runner cost in Richmond?

Polypropylene, whipped

^from £800

Supply and fit, standard straight staircase, 13 steps.

Wool or wool bouclé

^from £1,000

Same staircase, upgraded to wool or wool bouclé.

Sisal / seagrass, whipped

^from £1,200

Same staircase, upgraded to natural sisal or seagrass.

Adding a decorative cotton border increases the cost depending on the tape chosen. Staircases with winders involve additional templating time; two-flight staircases are priced proportionally. Premium materials — Roger Oates flatweave, patterned Wilton, wool bouclé with a herringbone border — carry a higher material cost and reflect the quality of finish most Richmond clients expect. There is no premium for our location — you pay for the runner and the installation, not your postcode.
