Custom Stair Runners

Why Choose a Stair Runner?

Stair runners are more than just practical — they transform your staircase into a design feature. Whether you're looking to add warmth, safety, or timeless beauty, a well-chosen runner makes all the difference. Our handmade and hand-tufted stair runners are crafted using high-quality wool, alpaca, or custom materials to enhance any interior.

From traditional floral patterns to modern solids, our stair runners offer both elegance and durability, making them perfect for high-traffic areas. Cassim Rug Gallery is a trusted local expert for custom stair runners in Downers Grove, Naperville, Hinsdale, Oak Brook, Burr Ridge, and throughout Chicagoland.

Our Process

• Free in-home consultation & measurement
• Selection of materials (wool, alpaca, hand-tufted, etc.)
• Custom fabrication to fit your stairs — straight, L-shape, landings, curves
• Professional installation with rug pads & finishing

Production Timeline

We maintain a large inventory of long handmade runners in stock, allowing some stair projects to begin immediately. However, in certain cases where the exact size or pattern is not available, we will custom-make your rug. The production time depends on the rug's length and the density — such as knots per square inch (KPSI).

Higher-density rugs (with more intricate detailing) may take longer. We encourage customers to plan early, especially if you're remodeling or moving into a new home, so that everything is ready when your stairs are.
