Choosing the right carpet for stairs involves balancing durability, slip resistance and appearance. Woven wool and woven constructions (for example traditional Axminster or Wilton styles) are commonly recommended for their wear-resistance and refined appearance; low-pile and closely packed constructions reduce trip risk. A bold red will make a strong visual statement but current red options and samples must be confirmed with the showroom. Some carpet ranges are available in wider formats, which can reduce joins; current widths vary by product and should be confirmed. To view samples and discuss stair nosing, underlay and installation details, contact the Taren Point showroom on 02 9526 6421 or visit Unit 3/46 Bay Rd, Taren Point, NSW.
