When you have stairs in your home, adding carpet can have a drastic effect on its appearance and functionality. Here’s a guide to the advantages of laying down carpet over stairs. 

3 Benefits of Laying Carpet on Stairs

1. Comfort

When you go downstairs, your feet come down with extra weight, causing additional strain. While the effect can be aggravated when stairs are made of a hard material like wood, it can be alleviated with carpet. The soft material offers a continuous cushion, making every step easier and helping you avoid foot aches. 

2. Noise Reduction

carpetEveryone is familiar with the sound of someone clomping up or down the stairs. The thumping is loud and frequent enough that it can consistently disturb a conversation, movie, or any other activity in the house.

Beyond providing comfort, carpeted stairs significantly muffle the noise of people using them since they absorb most of the impact. They’re especially convenient in homes with energetic children.

3. Aesthetic Appeal

While some staircases are elegant in their own right, adding carpeting provides a different texture than the rest of the house, which creates visual interest. Many people opt for carpeting down the middle of the stairs to enjoy both materials at once. The contrast also offers more design potential when you get to decide how much of the staircase to carpet.
