New build stairs, 90* single turn across 5 steps. 1.1m(ISH) wide.
If I buy a 4m wide striped carpet which repeats every 60cm, will a carpet fitter be able to match the stripes?

No carpet fitters on here?

Even if they could, I wouldn't. When you come to shuffle the carpet to move the worn treads on to the face of the risers the pattern match will be nigh on impossible.

Or maybe you're not from Yorkshire...

Striped carpet on stairs is an optical illusion accident waiting to happen as it can hide the steps as you go down

Damn, I wish you'd have told me that 12 years ago.
