Blue Parakeet Runners Shine in Hunker Staircase Showcase

Blue Parakeet Rugs' very first stairway installation took place in a stunning Hollywood Hills home, where we teamed up with designer Caitlin Sourapas. We crafted a luxurious custom stair runner using several antique rugs, seamlessly fitted to the stairs. It was a hefty undertaking, meticulous measuring, careful tucking, and expert binding—but absolutely worth every ounce of effort.

The cherry on top was the pickup by Hunker in their piece on the best staircase runners, Stunning Stair Runners That Will Elevate Your Space Or Ground It If Necessary. Tip #2: Go for a Bespoke Layered Look featured this very staircase project, noting that Caitlin “used five different vintage Persian rugs, all sourced from Blue Parakeet Rugs, to create this one-of-a-kind look.”

The transformation was indeed magical: the kids were enchanted by their new “ruggy” stairs, and the entire family fell in love with the warm, nostalgic charm it brought to the home. This isn’t just a rug stairway, it’s a memory-maker, something the kids will look back on with that sense of wonder about the “magical stairs” that grew with them.
