A Guide To Stair & Hall Way Runners

Whatever your taste in design, dress your stairs with something decorative yet practical.


If you are thinking about choosing a runner for your stairs or hallway then check the condition of your floorboards and consider how the two will work together.  The next step  is to measure your stairs or hallway and decide how much space you would like to leave either side of the runner.

One of the great things about stair and hall runners is that they can can create the illusion of more space. It's just the same as painting the walls in a light colour or adding a mirror to a room.  If your stairway is dark or narrow then a patterned runner could help to make it look bigger.

As your hallway and stairs receive more traffic than the rest of your house it is important to choose a good quality runner that can cope with the daily wear and tear. For comfort and durability, it’s wise to choose a mix of wool and nylon.

You may think that stair runners are held in place by stair rods, but infact these are purely a decorative finishing touch. They add to the look of a stair runner and give it extra personality and style.

Our Brink & Campman stair runners are made from 80% pure new wool and 20 % polyamide - ideal to achieve the right balance of comfort and durability.

Anti-slip Rug Underlay - Your Q's Answered

It can be so frustrating when you spend time and money choosing the perfect rug for your room, but then when it arrives it keeps on slipping around the floor! Luckily there is an easy way to combat the slipping!

Anti-slip underlay can be ordered to your size specification so that all you have to do is put it under your rug when it arrives! It really is that simple! We have answered all of the commonly asked questions that we regularly get asked from our customers so that you can make an informed decision about which anti-slip underlay is right for you.  

Q. How do I know what type of underlay I need for my rug?
A. Profilo is a cushioned anti-slip underlay for use on smooth floors, such as wood or tile. Top fleece 2 can also be used for smooth floors but profile gives more cushioning and will last longer. Top-Fleece 2 is an anti-slip underlay for use on carpeted surfaces.

Q. What size should I order my underlay as?

A. Order your underlay the same size as the rug it will be going underneath. This is because your underlay can easily be trimmed with scissors if a little is showing outside the rug.

A. Yes you can wash both Profilo  and Top-Fleece 2.

Q. How thick is Profilo?

A. Profilio is 3mm thick.
