Hardwood and stair runner carpet go hand in hand

There are many ways carpet and hardwood flooring can be combined, requiring that you think about how the two pieces will match. However, adding a stair runner is almost always accomplished atop hardwood.

So, what carpet colors blend with hardwood? There are a few ways to answer this question.

If you want the safest possible option, especially for customized hall and stair runners, choose neutral shades such as gray, beige, tan, off-white, or flecked colorations like those found in Berber. However, bolder browns and burgundy are excellent choices, especially for patterned rugs and carpeting.

Stick to lighter colors so that you do not overpower the room or create unwanted and unnecessary contrast. Dark colors may look good with lighter-colored furniture, but it is best to stay away from them when combined with a hardwood floor covering in the same room.
