Cut the carpet into the calculated width and length with a carpet knife. If you are installing a narrow carpet runner, only apply the tackless strips in the middle of the tread. Cut the carpet padding with a carpet knife so that it covers the treads. Do not cover the ends of the treads if you are installing a narrow carpet and do not cover the tackless strips.
Attach one end of the carpet to the tackless strip on the very top stair, instructs This Old House. For a narrow carpet runner, tuck 1 inch of each end underneath the carpet with a carpet tucking tool to produce a smooth edge that won't fray. Pull the carpet taut over the edge of the tread and down onto the tackless strip at the bottom of the riser. Anchor it in place with a knee kicker.
Continue this process until you reach the first turn. Cut a piece of carpet to size with the carpet knife and anchor it to the strips with a knee kicker. A staple each three to four inches is ideal. Now you'll move on to the next step. At the inner corner of each riser, you'll want to use a long, sturdy object like a bolster chisel to make sure the rug is flat against each step before it's stapled in place.
Continue this process, step by step, top to bottom, until the rug has been completely secured on the stairs. If you're going through the effort of installing your own stair runner, you're going to want it looking nice for years to come. That's why, once you've completed rug installation, we recommend taking the time to give your rug neat edges.
This will make your entire staircase look cleaner and help you avoid the danger of any trailing or unraveling pieces of carpet. At the very bottom of your staircase, the base of the last step, use a tool like the bolster chisel or anything similarly wide, flat, and sturdy to press down along the rug to tighten it, making a crease.
Mark the crease and measure two to three inches out from the crease. Use a flat edge to draw a straight line across the rug using a pencil or piece of chalk. Cut along the line and fold the end of the runner under, pressing it tight against the riser to create a "hem. Staple this hem into place against the riser and feel proud about the work you've accomplished. Great job!
