A Signature Runner, Made for Your Home.
A beautifully proportioned carpet body, finished with a contrasting border — designed around your staircase, your colours and the character of your home.
Body and border is a tailored way to make a stair runner feel truly individual. The central carpet forms the body of the design, while one or more carefully chosen border colours frame every step and continue across the landing. The result can be quietly tonal or confidently expressive, depending on the pairing you choose.
We help you balance colour, texture and proportion before measuring the staircase in detail. Our fitters then shape and align the runner around each tread, riser, turn and landing so the border reads as one continuous line through the space. Visit our Streatham showroom to compare carpet bodies, border colours and binding options in person.

This recent installation pairs a softly textured neutral body with vivid pink and orange borders. Watch how the colour remains aligned across every tread and continues around the landing as one uninterrupted detail.

What sets our body and border apart
Two elements, one considered design
Choose a central carpet body for texture and tone, then frame it with a border that complements the room or introduces a confident accent.
Colour that follows the architecture
The border carries a strong, continuous line over treads, around turns and onto landings, drawing attention to the shape of the staircase.
Measured for a precise, balanced fit
We plan the runner width and border proportions around the individual staircase, then fit every section carefully for clean edges and consistent alignment.

The body is the main central carpet used for the runner. The border is the contrasting edge detail that frames it. Together they create a made-to-measure runner with a clear, tailored outline.
