Stair Coverings

We received a new brochure yesterday from Roger Oates which has some lovely new products so I thought I'd do a quick post on stair coverings.

Roger Oates produce beautiful flatweaves for hallways and stairs, as well as rugs - and all woven in the UK!  The one which first caught my eye is Kasuri in Indigo ........

Kasuri is from the new Eastern Collection and also comes in Onyx and Cherry.

Also in the Eastern Collection are designs called Kobe, Kyoto which also come in a range of colours but I've shown them both here in the Jade colourways:

Kobe Jade

Koto Jade

There are lots of gorgeous colourful designs as well as a range which uses natural un-dyed Shetland wool in shades ranging from cream to black - very smart!  This one is Swanson Light Grey.

Alternative Flooring also have a good range of options for stairs from sisal to wool in plains, , herringbone, stripes and for the more adventurous - Fair Isle, diamonds, spots plaids and even zebra print! For many of them you can add a linen border to make a stair runner rather than close carpeting.  Here is a small selection from Alternative Flooring:
