Stair runners — West Brompton SW10
Bespoke stair runners for West Brompton's understated luxury.
West Brompton, and streets like Cheyne Walk in particular, have a quiet, understated quality — the kind of neighbourhood where every detail of the interior speaks to craftsmanship rather than showing off. In a home like that, a stair runner isn't just a practical element, it's an integral part of how the whole space reads, and it deserves the same precision as everything else in the property.

Materials
Materials that work in West Brompton properties.
Sisal & Natural Fibres
On a recent Cheyne Walk job, we fitted the Kersaint Cobb Tiger's Eye Sisal Stair Runner with a brown cotton border — a material with real personality, strong and tactile, that gives depth and subtle texture underfoot. The earthy tones paired beautifully with the property's interior palette, and the brown border added just the right amount of definition without overstating it.
Wool Bouclé & Flatweave
For West Brompton's period townhouses, a wool bouclé or clean flatweave suits the architecture just as naturally, and works well alongside close-fitted carpet on adjoining landings for a cohesive look throughout the property. We bring samples to your home so you can compare materials in your own light before committing to anything.

Every runner has a story.
We've fitted hundreds of stair runners across London, and we write up many of the more interesting ones on our blog — the fabric hunts, the tricky winders, the rescues, including this recent Cheyne Walk project. 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 available before you commit to a material, our sister company Fenston Carter stocks a much wider selection than we can show on this page — a few examples shown here, or browse the full stair runner collection for inspiration.
Edge finishes
Cotton borders
& edge finishes.
Fitting a close-fit stair runner properly means no loose edges, no puckering, no visual tension points — every riser and tread measured with precision, the border sitting perfectly parallel to the stair line throughout. A contrasting cotton border, like the brown edge on this Cheyne Walk sisal runner, frames each step and adds a layer of warmth and definition without overstating it. When we finished this particular job, the homeowner's response summed it up simply: "That looks fantastic." We stitch every border in our Wimbledon workshop and check every seam before installation.
We also supply and install premium branded runners including Roger Oates, Louis De Poortere and Alternative Flooring for West Brompton clients who have specified a particular brand.

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 West Brompton 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.

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 West Brompton clients expect. There is no premium for our location — you pay for the runner and the installation, not our postcode.
