A Bold Transformation: Striped Stair Runner Brings New Life to Central London Home

In the heart of Central London, a once-tired and unremarkable staircase became the focal point of a stunning transformation. The homeowners reached out to Cavendish Devere with a clear vision: they wanted a striped stair runner that would breathe new life into their dated and lackluster staircase. But as with many bespoke projects, the path to perfection wasn’t without its hurdles.

The Plan Takes Shape

The project began with precision. The client specified a runner width of 55cm, ensuring a perfect proportion to complement the narrow staircase while allowing the beautiful wood edges to frame the design. The chosen striped runner was bold and contemporary, adding vibrancy and character to the space.

The process started with receiving the carpet and cutting it to the exact measurements. The edges were then carefully whipped, sealing them for durability and a clean finish. Once prepared, the runner was ready for installation.

The First Attempt: A Lesson in Precision

On the initial fitting day, the team arrived at the property, ready to transform the staircase. Grippers were securely fitted, and underlay was carefully placed to ensure a cushioned, long-lasting foundation. The striped runner was then attached with precision.

But upon final inspection, it became clear that the runner was not perfectly centered. Even a slight deviation can disrupt the visual harmony of a striped design, and the Cavendish Devere team knew this wasn’t up to their standard—or the client’s.

Without hesitation, they assured the client they would return to refit the runner. Mistakes happen, but the team’s commitment to excellence and client satisfaction meant there was no question about setting things right.

The Return: Perfect Execution

On their return visit, the team approached the job with renewed focus. Each step was carefully re-measured, every gripper checked, and the runner was aligned with painstaking precision. The vibrant stripes now flowed seamlessly from step to step, drawing the eye upward in a striking display.

What was once a dull, worn staircase had been utterly transformed. The bold stripes brought energy and life to the home, creating a space that felt fresh, modern, and full of personality.

A Happy Ending

When the client walked through the final result, their reaction said it all. The staircase, once an overlooked and uninspired feature, was now the standout element of the home. Every detail—the precise alignment, the clean edges, the plush feel of the underlay—spoke to the craftsmanship and care poured into the project.

The Cavendish Devere team left the site not only with a satisfied client but with pride in knowing they had turned an old, unattractive staircase into a bold, beautiful statement piece.

The Power of a Runner

This project serves as a reminder of how something as simple as a well-fitted stair runner can completely transform a space. It’s not just about aesthetics—it’s about precision, quality, and the dedication to getting it right.
