  • A quick and easy way to create a beautiful, custom-looking runner for your stairs is by using Ikea rugs! I will show you how I used the Ikea SÖLLINGE rugs and hacked them into a stair runner. I got my inspiration from Alexandra Gater's DIY stair runner and the Sorry Girls stair makeover.

    My old carpet had become worn and picked by my cat, and the old wool carpet didn't stand the test of time. This Ikea hack saved me some money but is also suitable for my home and the traffic my stairs gets.
    This hack will work with any Ikea rug but the one I used was the affordable SÖLLINGE. You can find more information on this product on your local Ikea website.

    Sound 🔈the sound bug appears again 🤣 around the 4 minute mark the sound ducks louder, unfortunately I can’t fix this once uploaded but it only lasts a few seconds and you can use the closed caption audio. Apologies for the inconvenience, READ MORE HERE: www.daintydressdiaries.com/2021/09/diy-stair-runner-using-e17-sollinge-ikea-rugs.html Also, thank you for allowing me the space to make mistakes, editing takes a lot of time and doesn't always go to plan, thank you for your kindness and understanding.

But thanks to you I sort of feel like I could try. It's hard to look at my house as mine cause Steve and I lived here for 20 years. We were married for 43 years. Thanks again god bless and be safe

    My cat hasn't scratched up my beautiful wool Berber carpet, my dogs did that before she arrived. I have scratch posts of all sizes and heights and she uses them but she has annihilated the tops of my raised beds sharpening her claws on the wood.
    The rugs are a brilliant idea, it works well on your stairs. I have to agree about the Sollange beige rugs on the Ikea site, they do have a pinky tone to them.
