Stripes. The other pattern is so uniformly busy it feels like it would disguise the treads.

I love the herringbone.

I think sisal is too slippery for safety on stairs. Of the patterns you chose, the stripe is more handsome

I like the stripes. Pretty floors!!

I like the stripe but I think it would give me vertigo.

Thanks so much everyone, striped one it is! Beth I have a sisal charcoal trim in that foyer room already. I do like the antelope! But I’m also liking the casual vibe of this stripe/herringbone one, Its prettier in person.

Beth, where can one purchase the sisal runner?

Stipes are more fitting.

Beth H really like the last three sisal runners you posted.
We are wondering where these can be purchased
Thank you!

That stripe is so handsome with the herringbone. Like a nice men's suit. I love it.

I like herringbone in general, but wonder if a different shade might work better with flooring, rug, and wall color.

You have made two excellent choices. Hard decision to make.

I need to see the spaces next to the stairs to make even a guess . This is part of the whole not decided in a vacuum. I do not like the color with the stairs or the floor so I need context.

I, too, don't like the color of either one with the color of the stairs, the floor color, the wall color and the color in the area rug. The existing runner looks better than either of them.

It looks like your staircase has a landing where the pattern will change direction. Just keep that in mind. It seems like there will be a 90 degree turn so the stripes will change direction.

Excellent point!^^^

Beth's sisal looks good for me.

I would go to herringbone. No stripes. You need to be a little careful with a strong pattern like that that you don’t get disoriented and miss a step. It’s easy to do.

I love my new runner!

Looks wonderful!! Great choice!!

Thanks kculbers!

Nice!

Ty Emily!

I love stripes on stairs, and yours looks beautiful!

Antelope runner... who would have thought? Pre-dirtied right down the center I'm using on my rental stairs.

Thanks Diana Bier Interiors!

Perfect!

Thanks Houssaon!

Is the new runner distracting at all while you or other people are using the stair? I'm finding highly patterned runners can cause visual distraction that might disorient people (especially older folks). Hopefully this isn't the case.

Love it!

Thanks njmomma! norwwod architects, no not at all.
