Q: How do you measure stairs for a carpet runner?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re using a carpet runner instead of a traditional carpet, pay attention to your width measurements. Instead of measuring the total width of your staircase with 2 added inches for foldover, simply measure the width you&rsquo;d like the runner to cover. Runners generally come in standard sizes, so you may need to approximate what would look best in your space.</p></div>

Q: Can you put stair treads over carpet?

• <div><p>Yes. Many manufacturers make stair treads that you can install over carpeted stairs without needing to do any cutting or drilling. Stair treads can also be installed on wood, marble, and other stair surface materials. Just be sure to double-check the information for the specific product you&rsquo;re buying to ensure its adhesive or installation process will work with the type of stairs you have.</p></div>

Q: What type of floor finish should I choose?

• <div><p>There are a few different types of finishes to choose from for the final step of the project. </p><p>Water-based polyurethane sealants emit fewer odors and fumes but dry quickly, which can pose a challenge when trying to get a smooth coat. Oil-based polyurethane sealants let out more odors and fumes into the air (it&rsquo;s especially important to wear a respirator if you choose this type), but they take longer to dry, which can be more forgiving during the finishing step. </p><p>Some may prefer wood oil to polyurethane because rather than creating a layer, it becomes part of the wood. Wood oil takes longer to dry, and is less resistant to wear and tear; however, it creates a natural-looking result by enhancing the grain of the wood. </p></div>

Q: How long does it take for laminate flooring to settle?

• <div><p>Laminate flooring takes about 24 to 48 hours to settle. Before this, planks are not completely acclimated to your home, and walking on them could cause shifting and permanent damage to the flooring. You should allow floorboards to acclimate for 48 to 72 hours before installing so that they can adjust to your home&rsquo;s humidity and temperature levels, but they will continue to acclimate and settle after installation. For this reason, avoid placing any furniture in the room for 72 hours after installation.</p><p>Your floors will continue to settle for a few months after installation, becoming less bouncy as they rest.</p></div>

Q: What color carpet goes with everything?

• <div><p>Carpets in earthy, neutral shades should go with everything. Specifically, colors like beige, cream, and gray pair well with other neutrals and more vibrant colors. If you&rsquo;re concerned about your carpet clashing with your walls or furniture, stay away from loud colors and complicated patterns, which could distract from the rest of your decor.</p></div>
