Product Information

Not only are Seagrass rugs visually appealing, but they are also highly durable, making them suitable for high-traffic areas. Their stain-resistant nature ensures that they can withstand the demands of daily use while maintaining their natural beauty. The resilience of Seagrass fibers makes them an excellent choice for households with pets and children. Step 8: (This step is where you could use a second person to help but I somehowmanaged by myself). Pull the hose of your air stapler all the way to the top of the steps and set it down. Next, pull up the seagrass rug to the very top step’s riser, center the rug between the tape lines and staple to secure. Start in the center and then work your way outward. Be sure to put enough initial staples in. This step takes muscle!) Push the staple gun hard right under the bullnose and pull the trigger, making sure you are shooting into the riser NOT into the bullnose. I stapled every inch or so, working from one side to the other. ( green dots)

Seagrass rugs require the same maintenance that most floor coverings do: vacuum regularly and attend to any spills right away. We recommend that you vacuum one to three times per week, depending on the activity level in your home. Due to the difference in monitor colours, some rug colours may vary slightly. We try to represent all rug colours as accurately as possible. Bring the rug down over the bullnose to the lower step, pull firmly and place your first line of staples along the bottom edge of the riser ( yellow dots).Seagrass isn’t right for everyone. Maybe you would like something with more pattern or color, or that is easier to maintain? Explore our collections of natural fiber rugs that showcase a variety of patterns, colors, and even stain-resistant sisals. If you like the look of sisal but want softness underfoot, our exclusive SynSisal® weaves give you classic sisal patterns and colorways with soft yarns and easy maintenance. Seagrass Cleaning & Care Each Seagrass rug is unique, showcasing natural variations in weave and color that enhance its organic charm. These variations are inherent characteristics of the natural fiber, adding depth and visual interest to the rug. Whether placed in a living room, family room, dining room, entryway, or hallway, Seagrass rugs bring a touch of warmth and sophistication to any space. Many designers think of the floor as the “fifth wall.” Together with the lighting, wall color, furniture and gallery-worthy art groupings, a perfect floor covering brings the whole vision into focus. Stylistic versatility is a hallmark of seagrass rugs and carpet. Their neutral palette is the perfect template to build your unique look.

In my experience with natural fiber area rugs in other parts of our home, if food or something solid (like play-do for instance) is on the rug, it’s best to let it dry, and then scrape it up and vacuum out the bits that are left. Stay tuned for some tips on cleaning natural fiber rugs in the near future. Pro Tip: The adhesives used in wall-to-wall seagrass installation can contribute to a strong smell. For those who are sensitive to odors, ask your installer to use an adhesive that has little to no smell. This was the first runner I ever installed myself and so there was a bit of a learning curve. I worked my way up from the bottom, and the first couple of steps are a little looser than the rest. Our future plan is to put hardwood flooring upstairs but we’ll have to wait a bit, hence why you see the unfinished edge at the top of the landing.Step 6: Paint Staircase with 2 coats of semi-gloss latex paint. It looks so nice and fresh I almost left it as is, but I know that with 4 kids, those white steps wouldn’t stay white for long. So what do you think of my Painted Staircase Makeover with Seagrass Runner? I’d love to hear from you!

Step 9: Cut the bottom of the rug just above the shoe molding with very sharp scissors. Don’t staple all the way down the sides quite yet. Remove the ribbon edge from end of the scrap rug piece. Hot glue that ribbon onto the bottom of the stair rug. Now you can finish stapling.Storage & organisation Furniture Textiles Kitchenware & tableware Kitchens Lighting Decoration Rugs, mats & flooring Beds & mattresses Baby & children Smart home Bathroom products Laundry & cleaning Plants & plant pots Home electronics Home improvement Outdoor living Food & beverages Christmas Shop Shop by room

Seagrass rugs are crafted from undyed seagrass fibers, these rugs offer a stunning combination of strength and stain resistance. The reed-like fibers are smooth to the touch, featuring a subtle natural sheen that adds a touch of elegance to any space. Seagrass rugs boast a neutral color palette, characterized by light-brown, beige, and sage green hues. The uniform color throughout the fibers creates a cohesive and harmonious look, making it a versatile option for various interior styles. The green hues can be present with recently harvested seagrass and always fade into a neutral tan with time. It's important to note that when referring to the "Rug Color" of a Seagrass rug, we are actually referring to the weave pattern rather than the actual color of the fibers themselves. If you do end up with mold, we recommend treating the area with a mild bleach solution (one part bleach to six parts water). Always test the solution on an inconspicuous area of your rug (not on the binding)—you do not want it to bleach the fibers. Once deemed safe, lightly apply the solution to the area with a soft brush. Let sit for five to ten minutes and then rub with a clean cloth. Repeat if necessary. Be sure to dry the rug thoroughly. Our Care Guides offer more detailed instructions. You can choose from a wide range of colours and styles, from bright coloured stripes to more natural-looking weaves. Whether you’re looking for sisal runners for halls, stairs or kitchens, we have the perfect flooring solution for you. Step 5: Covering the stair risers. Cut the finishing plywood into strips that are the width and length of your stair risers. Nail them to the risers with a finishing nail gun. Fill any nail holes in both the plywood and MDF with wood filler, then lightly sand any grit away. Caulk ALLedges with paintable caulk and then prime the staircase treads and risers with quality primer.Use painter’s tape to mark the exact perimeters of your stair runner. This is a very important step. If you do not do this, then the stair runner can easily get misaligned. Step 7:Time to install the seagrass runner! Woo hoo! Unroll the seagrass runner and allow it to sit flat overnight. Measure the width of the runner and take that measurement and center it on your staircase. For mine, I needed to maintain a 2.5″ space on either side of the seagrass runner.
