Despite a remark from a friend and former visitor to India/Thailand/Laos about "little brown people" who make jute rugs, I've decided that natural materials are still preferable to off-gassing carpets made by the same people in chemical-laden factories. I found a great online retailer for natural carpets and stairway runners here. They appear to ship to my location and have the exact thing I was looking for (see the image on this post). None of the local retailers (even/especially flooring specialists) had these items available. Problem is, the online selection is so good that Hubby has a favorite. And it ain't my favorite. I basically want to order this tomorrow, so this minor quibble better get resolved. If anyone cares to vote either way, go nuts:

My favorite:
As if fighting weren't enough, I have a lingering headache at the base of my head/behind my ears and my desk smells like Drosophila fly food (a stomach-churning smell originating from somewhere else in the building). The headache and fly food smell may be related. Ew.

If the stairs are dark, the lighter one is better. Unless the stairs are going to be light coloured.
Also the darker material will be better for wear.
if the stairs are painted white, then either should do. however the darker one looks somewhat like cheap industrial rubber-edged stuff, while the other has an unmistakable classic appeal that should be an obvious winner for anyone with any taste at all.
