Designer Advice:
Consider safety first when picking stair treads for wood stairs. The main functions of stair treads on wood stairs are to prevent slipping and to dampen the sound of footsteps. The safest carpet treads have non-slip rubber backing. But jute backing is another option. Although these aren't non-slip, they are safe and easy to machine wash.

Retro Oval Woven Stair Tread
Take a trip down memory lane by choosing a homey, handmade-looking woven stair tread. Pick an oval or rectangular 13-piece set of 8" W x 2'4" L in five color options. Although braided and weather-resistant, there isn't a non-slip backing.
Designer Advice:
You can give your wood stairs a more retro feel by picking carpet treads made of a woven or braided fabric. While these stair rugs can look aesthetically enjoyable and feel soft beneath your feet, the jute backing is less secure against slipping. A great way to solve this issue is to purchase a separate rubber backing to add to the pieces before laying them down.

Designer Advice:
When picking a stair tread set for your wood stairs, ensure you know how many treads you'll need. Most sets come with 13 or 15 pieces. You'll also want to measure the size you need - length and width - and choose a pile height. The pile refers to the carpet's thickness. A thicker carpet can potentially cause a tripping hazard, so choose a carpet with a medium pile height.
