Stair covering with carpet runner, or just wood?

I like the look of carpet, with wood on the sides of the stairs. The first option, a carpet runner, seems safer than wood stairs as they can be slippery. Best of all, the carpeting will muffle the sounds of foot traffic, possibly add to the over-all look, & be longer lasting. However, I have seen some stairs with the carpet in between the treads/riser, not going over. If I already have carpet on the 2nd floor would this be the better option so the carpet matches? How hard would it be to find a runner that matches or goes well with the other carpet?
