Stair Runner Installation Guide
Do you have a runner that needs to get installed? While calling a professional is always our top recommendation, you can still DIY a stair runner installation with the right tools and items! We've put together this guide to
Tools and Prep
How do samples work?
On the product page of any custom area rug, you’ll see the option to order a sample. Once an order is placed, we’ll mail a 9” x 9” swatch to your home or showroom. Samples cost $10 each plus shipping (typically $4–6). We do not accept returns for samples.
Selecting a Runner
How does the custom-sized rug process work?
Choose a style, enter your measurements (down to the inch), and place your order. We’ll cut and finish your rug to size and ship it directly to you. Check out our Rug Sizing Guide here: Rug Sizing Guide
What materials are right for me?
Wool is durable and soft, nylon is tough and easy to clean, and polyester offers comfort at a great price.
How do I pick the right size rug?
Start with your furniture layout, not just room size: keep all or most furniture legs on the rug and leave a 6–18" border from the walls. Quick rules: living rooms—front legs or all legs on the rug; bedrooms—extend 18–24" past the bed; dining rooms—add 3–4 ft so chairs slide easily; hallways—leave ~6" from the walls. Outline the size with painter’s tape before ordering. See our Rug Sizing Guide.
What rug shapes are available?
All patterns are available in both round and rectangular shapes.
What is the rug finish?
The finish is the tailored edge that keeps the rug from fraying—like hemming a suit. Currently, all rugs use machine serging, though additional finishes will be available within 3 months. Contact us to learn more.

Oversized Items
Oversized rugs (9x12 and larger) ship via freight carriers and require extra processing and delivery time. Depending on the shipping method you choose, oversized rugs will be delivered either to your entryway or your room of choice. A signature is required upon delivery.
Can I change or cancel my order, or update my address, after I order?
There’s a short window (about 24 hours) before production begins. Contact us right away and we’ll do our best.
Am I able to return or exchange my rug?
Our custom-sized rugs are made to your exact specifications and cannot be returned, exchanged, or cancelled once production begins. If your rug arrives defective or incorrect, we’ll make it right.
How do I reschedule my delivery?
Please reach out within 1 day of receiving your delivery window and we’ll do our best to adjust.
When can I expect to receive my rug?
Most custom rugs ship within 3–4 weeks. Transit typically takes 3–7 business days, and we’ll send tracking details once your order leaves the workshop.
