Pictured to the right there is a previously wasted space , now optimally used to showcase some accent cushions and provide a sit down area . Great for that moment when you’re waiting for someone by the door .
2. Compliment your stair runner project with a wooden half landing

3. Make everything white with powder blue accents
Wool hemp . Available as you see it here with no border and a hemmed edge. Or with border options
Recognized as the global authority on color, Pantone named one of their “this year” colors as powder blue . The other is Pink (but keep to the dustier tones)
Designers report that connectedness and quiet simplicity are the drivers behind these gentle calming colors .
Creating the ultimate in clean and restful environments is paint brand Benjamin Moore . Their Color of the year 2016 is Simply White OC-117 . Set your stair runner project off to a great start with this winning and simple design formula .

Flooring in warm stone is easy on the eye and the mind as you see to your left . Natural flooring is just such a color , particularly our sisal gold .
Restful and connected with nature , shades of white are just the ticket to wind down after a fast paced day at work .
Designers are reporting that increasing stress levels in the world today are creating an ever growing need for balancing our mind body and spirit !
Now we could all do with some of that !
4. Paint the “tread” of your stairs black or dark varnish and leave the riser in white .
Transform ugly stairs with this inexpensive paint job . Nice before and after!
This is such a cheap and effective transformation if you have untidy paint work . Using black on the tread looks dynamic but is also practical to wipe off the odd scuff mark .
If you’re looking for a deeper shine and a better finish use two or three thin coats and a slight sand with around 300 grit sandpaper .
Sisal chocolate makes a rich finish to these painted stairs
To create that magical timeless quality to your stair runner project , the use of this sumptuous sisal chocolate stair runner alludes to centuries old workmanship in a modern world .
Sisal will maintain its appearance for years to come , particularly in this shade. Lighter shades of naturals can also look stunning .
On a practical note . The stair runner itself will stop the paint becoming marked and make the stairs safe .
5. Make a little desk space
Under stairs desk . Simple , useful and stylish!
We all seem to be roaming around with our lap tops nowadays .
If occasionally you need peace and quiet while you work, this last idea will serve you well .
I like this idea because it looks elegant but doesn’t intrude on the hall area .
I guess this understated design would be very reasonable to make !
So there are my best five ideas to enhance your stair runner project .
