WHY IS ROGER OATES DESIGN RIGHT FOR YOU?
Roger Oates Design is perfect for anyone looking to add character, warmth and individuality to their home.
A stair runner can transform the look and feel of a hallway, softening the space while adding texture, colour and detail. Roger Oates runners are especially well suited to homes where the staircase is a central feature, creating a strong first impression as soon as you walk through the door.
Whether you prefer a bold statement stripe, a subtle neutral design or a more contemporary colour combination, the Roger Oates collection offers a wide choice of options to suit both traditional and modern interiors.
Their flatweave designs can also be used beyond the staircase, with rugs and runners helping to connect hallways, landings and adjoining rooms for a beautifully considered finish throughout the home.

STAIR RUNNERS
Roger Oates Design is particularly well known for its Venetian flatweave stair runners.
These runners bring pattern, texture and colour to one of the most important areas of the home. A well-chosen stair runner can add warmth, reduce the visual hardness of timber stairs, and create a more welcoming feel in hallways and entrance spaces.
From classic striped designs to more contemporary colour combinations, Roger Oates runners work beautifully in both period properties and modern homes. The collection includes understated neutral tones, elegant heritage-inspired patterns and bolder designs for customers looking to make more of a statement.
At The Carpet Company, we can help guide you through the design options and advise on the best choice for your staircase, hallway and overall interior scheme.
RUGS
Roger Oates Design also offers a beautiful collection of flatweave rugs.
These rugs are cut, sewn and finished by hand, making them a stylish option for living rooms, bedrooms, hallways and other areas of the home. With over 150 designs and colourways available, the collection offers plenty of flexibility for customers looking to introduce colour, pattern and texture without compromising on quality.
A Roger Oates rug can be used as a standalone feature or coordinated with a stair runner to create a more connected look across different parts of the home.
COLOUR, PATTERN & TEXTURE
One of the defining features of Roger Oates Design is its use of colour and pattern.
The collections include everything from soft, subtle stripes to bolder, more expressive designs. Many of the runners combine herringbone and rib weaves, giving the finished product a rich, tactile quality that adds depth and interest to the space.
This makes Roger Oates a particularly strong choice for customers who want flooring that feels individual, carefully designed and full of character.

Choosing the right stair runner or rug is about more than selecting a colour from a brochure.
The width of the staircase, the surrounding flooring, the wall colours, the age and style of the property, and the level of use all play a part in choosing the right design.
At The Carpet Company’s Poundbury showroom, our experienced team can talk you through the Roger Oates Design collection and help you find the right option for your home.
