boring . However , the options for decorating your stairs are endless , so feel free to get creative with your designs . You could try painting your risers white for a clean , classic look that focusses attention on the wooden treads , or even choose contrasting colours or playful patterns . Alternatively , you could opt for a stylish stair runner if it suits your decor choices .
What is the best colour for stairs in your opinion ? And why ?
Colour-matching your stairs to your flooring is the most obvious choice to create a stylish , cohesive look . But you can choose whatever finish you want for your stairs , even opting for contrasting colours for the treads and risers to make them stand out with a playful decorative design choice .
Would you recommend going for a gloss or a matte finish on stairs ? And why ?
Matte finishes seem to be a popular choice now — ideal for creating a more pared back , natural look . Again , it depends on whether you are integrating your stairs with your wood flooring . If you are , we ’ d always recommend matching the sheen levels .
