That looks lovely......my brother in law has something like that just on his stairs, not the landing......it looks lovely.... not sure about how durable or hard wearing it is but for aesthetics it is gorgeous.

Re: beige candystrip carpet for stairs and landing
that's very similar to it but without bars, it will be covering entire stairs. i think the beige one would be a nuisance to keep clean but the terracotta/red one shouldn't be too bad.well i'm getting it down in a few weeks so i'll report back!!

Re: beige candystrip carpet for stairs and landing
ooooh nice houses!!! i like the carpet too and thank you so much for clearing that up for me!!! personally i'd probably prefer a red option a bit more as probably a bit more warmth in it!! so does that come in a roll and you have to bind the edges for the runner? or is it sold as a runner?

Re: beige candystrip carpet for stairs and landing
yep you've to bind the edges for the runner. the terracotta is warmer and i think won't stain as badly. showhouses always look beautiful but i'd say that beige could be difficult enough to keep clean. anyhow glad you like it.

Beige will require less maintenance in terms of hoovering (think about it - what colour is dust), BUT will be more vulnerable to staining.
My local carpet dealer swears by the beige because the odd stain that does appear can be shampood out and is more desirable than having to hoover several times a week.
Took his advice. Just put beige in a playroom. Everyone thinks I'm mad but I do think I/we will be proved right.

Re: beige candystrip carpet for stairs and landing
yup....aka barney!!
its more fluff that dust but dont know why it looks purple!!!!
still wouldn't hold with the notion that you should buy beige carpet to avoid hoovering. i would have thought red colour would serve both purposes: make stains less obvious and cut down onn hoovering for the lazy in me (possible reason for purpley dust/fluff!)
personnally cleaning aside, my hall will have magnolia walls with neutral tiles in hall so think the red would be less bland! but thats a taste issue!
do plan on beige carpet for bedrooms so thanks for the good argument ntoodeep though i bet my equally sceptic other half might raise an eye brow at this one!!!

Not too sure about the stripes! But don't try and fit it yourself. Trust me its not as easy as it looks.
