Alto Stair Treads
Filed under: Decor
Overall, carpeted staircases are a often a shabby affair, they bring back visions of shag carpet tacked on stairs. The Alto stair treads are a different take on carpeting the stairs. Instead of blanketing the stairs with one carpet, each stair gets its own mini luxury rug. The stair treads, created by Liza Phillips designs, are hand knotted in Nepal from Himalayan wool dyed in beautiful natural shades.. They come in four color sets which can be mixed and matched. Pretty and pricey, they sell for around $70 each, $90 for top and bottom treads. The folks at Apartment Therapy recently profiled these and their commenters were pretty agitated about the price and the potential for slipping (although you can also order a separate adhesive).
