WHEN A STAIRCASE RUNNER EXCELS AT PULLING FINE FINISHES TOGETHER

This elevated combination of rustic natural wool with a crisp design intentionally recedes into the background to complement the clean metal railings and warm woodwork of the stairs. Inspired by the railings, the navy blue detail emulates line work of the Arts and Crafts movement, fitting with the architecture and design of the house. Flowing without interruption from the basement to the second floor, a blend of two undyed wools forms the grey background of a runner which does not stand apart from its surroundings but instead binds everything together.
