Herringbone Patterned Stair Runners

Herringbone Pattern Stair Runners

The herringbone is one of our best sellers, and it's easy to see why. It's got that tight, woven pattern that looks fantastic on any staircase — a modern home, an older home, doesn't matter. It dresses the stairs right up.

In this collection you'll find two of our herringbone lines. Our Anderson Tuftex runners are 100% Anso nylon — and nylon is about the toughest fiber you can put on a staircase.

Our Amalfi runners are polypropylene, which is naturally stain-resistant and holds its color without fading.

Both are built to take a real staircase that gets walked on all day by kids, pets, the whole family. Every runner we make is custom cut to your stairs and sewn on all sides, so it shows up finished and ready to install.

We're Installers, Not Just Salesmen

Here's what makes us different. I'm Keith Shannon, and I've been installing stair runners for over 25 years. Everybody here at Direct Carpet is an installer too — we've actually put this carpet on real staircases with our own hands.

So when we tell you what holds up, what's easy to work with, and how to get it tight and right, it's because we've done it ourselves. That's not something most places selling stair runners can say.

Built to Last

These are made to take a beating. The Anderson Tuftex Anso nylon is tough and resilient — it holds its shape on a high-traffic stairway year after year.

The Amalfi polypropylene is durable and colorfast, so it keeps looking good without fading. Whichever line you go with, this isn't carpet you're replacing in a couple years.

Easy to Clean

Here's what families love. These fibers are made to resist stains, which means you can clean them — most household stains come right out with a little cleanup. And because the herringbone has that darker, multi-tone look, it hides a little bit of that everyday dirt between cleans too.

Safety on the Stairs

A stair runner isn't just for looks — it's for safety. Bare hardwood stairs are slippery, especially in socks, especially with kids and pets flying up and down them. A runner gives you traction and a little comfort underfoot. Stair runner equals safety.

Add a Professional Under-pad Kit

Want to do it right? Add one of our professional underpad kits to your runner. The pad makes the stairs safer and more comfortable, helps keep the carpet from slipping, and gives the whole installation a better look and feel underfoot. It's the difference between a runner that's just laid down and one that's done like a pro.

DIY-Friendly Installation

You can install one of these yourself. They're easy to measure, cut, and staple down with basic tools, and I walk you through every single step in our how-to install guide. We've made it about as easy as we can for a DIYer.

Your Stairs Help Rescue Dogs

Here's something that means a lot to me. A few times a year I head down to Puerto Rico to do rescue work with Save A Sato, helping dogs that need it. That work is paid for by stair runner sales. So when you buy a runner from us, you're not just getting a beautiful staircase — you're helping feed and rescue a dog that needed a hand. That's a pretty good deal if you ask me.
