After an overwhelming response to the recent project with @mrgeorgeclarke we thought we would shine a spotlight on the design that features on the staircase of his London home - Swanson Clay. Part of our New Classics collection, made using 100% British wool, Swanson Clay is an elegant and understated design with a deep grey body lifted by a light weft that brings detail and texture to this timeless border design.
Swanson Clay is available as a stair runner, rug, wall-to-wall installation or as part of a curated selection of home accessories. Find more information, and order samples on our website.

We liken our installation process to 'upholstery for stairs'. In most cases the inherent flexibility of our 100% wool flatweave allows a skilled installer to guide our runners around winding steps without compromising the alignment of the pattern. Mitres can also be sewn for sharper changes in direction, on landings for example.
To see all these processes put into practise, look behind the scenes at Wilton House on our Journal post 'An exclusive interview with Victoria Pembroke'. This beautiful country residence features our Trent Beaver stair runner, masterfully installed on the twists and turns of the grand stone staircase.

Whether furnishing a contemporary space or a more traditional home, here is some hand tufted inspiration to save for your next project.

Can you spot why this Lennox design looks a little different?
Yes, this is our Lennox flatweave, but not as you know it. Did you know each one of our flatweave designs can be tailored to your own design requirements and in this case, we designed a bespoke Lennox in a fresh, tonal green palette.
You can choose to customise any one of our existing designs with new colours from the extensive Roger Oates colour chain and create a bespoke rug or runner, unique to your home.

Some playful, springtime styling inspiration to save for your next project.
Bring a neutral scheme to life with designs like our hand tufted Fragment rug. With a lightly speckled neutral base, Fragment sees scattered shards of colour disperse across the room in a playful, textural pattern. Perfect for those wanting to introduce subtle colour that won’t dominate the space, this rug truly feels like a breath of fresh air.
Available in both rounded and rectangular forms on our website, or customisable to any shape you desire, let us know in the comments how you’re introducing colour to your space this spring.

Yellow doesn’t have to be for the brave.
At Roger Oates Design, we believe there are lots of ways to embrace this sunny colour without having to go bold. If you prefer a neutral look but want a little added warmth then a touch of yellow could be just what your space needs. Paired beautifully in this calming, laid back scheme, our Mila Gold stair runner adds an instant mood-boosting quality, brightening up the space without feeling overpowering.
Swipe to see our inspiration behind this moodboard, and let us know in the comments if you love this scheme as much as we do! #YellowInteriors #NeutralInteriors #YellowStairs #YellowStairRunners #StairRunnersUK
Ready to elevate your landing? Our runners and rugs offer a number of versatile options to enhance landing spaces of any shape and size. One of the most popular options for narrower landing areas and hallways is to opt for a fitted runner, creating a smooth transition from the staircase and carrying the design from the stairs through different levels of the home.
Why not offset your runner to create defined zones on a landing area? Here, the hardwood floors create a beautiful contrast of texture and colour against the flawteave, while anchoring the small reading nook. For more tips and guidance on designing your landing space, head to our Journal post 'What should I do on my landing?'

Is a rug the finishing touch your room needs?
A rug doesn’t just frame a space, it defines it. When thoughtfully positioned in a room, a rug has the power to create a cohesive, cosy and stylish interior. Whether anchoring furniture in a room, defining clear zones or simply softening the acoustics of a space, there are many benefits to adding a rug, beyond just the visual appeal.
Head to the Roger Oates website to explore our full range of both flatweave and hand tufted rugs, or read more about rug placement and design over on our Journal pages.
