Ernesta Launches Custom Stair Runners with Professional Installation Available in New York Tri-State and DC Metro Areas

New service brings Ernesta's designer-quality rugs, curated styling, and seamless experience to
staircases—pairing made-to-order runners with trusted local installers

NEW YORK, May 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ernesta, the innovative home design brand known for delivering designer-quality, custom-sized area rugs, is expanding its offering with the launch of professionally installed custom stair runners—now available to design professionals and consumers in the NY Tri-State and DC Metro areas.

Long considered a design challenge due to the complexity and cost of customization, staircases can now be transformed with ease. Ernesta's new service makes it simpler than ever to turn transitional spaces into stylish focal points that enhance comfort, reduce noise, and improve safety. By partnering with trusted local installers, Ernesta provides a turnkey experience—from design inspiration to professional installation.

"Stair runners are a natural next step for Ernesta and a powerful way to further our mission of simplifying and personalizing home design," said John Foley, CEO at Ernesta. "They've traditionally been difficult to execute—requiring professional measuring, fitting, and material selection—which can make the process feel intimidating. We're here to change that, offering a service that's both approachable and design-forward."

Ernesta's stair runner service expands access to:

• The brand's curated collection of high-quality rugs
• In-home measurement and professional installation handled by trusted local partners in two house visits
• Expert guidance from Ernesta's in-house design team

As demand grows for curated, whole-home design solutions, Ernesta's stair runner offering empowers customers to seamlessly extend their aesthetic vision throughout their space. This service was also developed with interior designers in mind, helping them work more efficiently with less logistical friction, while elevating overall client satisfaction. With thoughtful customizations available—such as cutouts for fireplaces, angled landings, and other architectural details—the result is a tailored, cohesive look that complements every corner of the home. As with Ernesta's area rugs, customers and designers have the ability to sample styles before making a final decision—fostering confidence and satisfaction in every step of the process.

While installation is currently available in select zip codes across the Tri-State and DC Metro regions, materials can be purchased nationwide. Customers and trade professionals can visit Ernesta showrooms in Manhattan's Upper East Side, Greenwich, CT, or Bethesda, MD, or submit an inquiry online at www.ernestarugs.com/services to determine service eligibility.
