Featuring an expressive leopard-style motif flowing across a warm golden ground, this design creates movement, character, and dramatic visual interest along the staircase.

Hand-Tufted New Zealand Merino Wool
Each Leopard Hand-Tufted Runner is made from premium New Zealand merino wool, selected for its softness, resilience, and luxurious feel underfoot. Hand tufted to a 12mm pile height, it offers a plush and substantial finish that is beautifully suited to refined residential interiors.
Key features include:
- New Zealand merino wool pile
- Hand tufted construction
- 12mm pile height for a soft yet substantial finish
- Leopard-inspired decorative design
- Made to order for a more considered and bespoke result
- Designed to bring warmth, comfort, and bold personality to the staircase
- A Decorative Animal-Inspired Design with Modern Impact
The defining feature of Leopard Hand-Tufted Runner is its sweeping spotted motif, which moves organically across the surface to create rhythm and flow. Rather than feeling rigid or repetitive, the pattern has a more natural, scattered quality that gives the runner energy and visual softness at the same time.
This balance makes it especially effective for staircases that need a stronger design statement while still feeling elegant and curated. It introduces texture, contrast, and decorative drama without losing sophistication.
This runner is especially well-suited to:
- Main staircases
- Entrance stairways
- Double-storey homes
- Eclectic and contemporary interiors
- Glamorous residential spaces
- Boutique hospitality-inspired homes
- It is ideal for homeowners who want a stair runner that feels expressive, luxurious, and full of personality.
A Warm Colour Palette for Rich, Layered Interiors
The warm golden ground gives the runner brightness and richness, while the black leopard-style markings create strong contrast and a more dramatic finish. This palette feels bold and inviting, pairing beautifully with timber stairs, black accents, brass finishes, natural textures, warm neutrals, and layered contemporary interiors.
The result is a stair runner that adds both softness and high-impact decorative presence.
