When buying or building a house, one of the first things you’ll think about is the flooring that will run throughout the home. The options are endless with hardwoods, linoleum, tile, carpet, and more. Your flooring choice is a big decision and can determine the style, vibe, and value of the entire home. But something that most two-plus story home-buyers and home-builders don’t immediately think of is their staircase and how to cover it. Luckily, there are several options that we recommend for your stairs.
Hardwoods
If you have already decided on hardwood flooring for your home, the simplest option is to continue that look with hardwood stairs. This look is timeless, and you can always add to it later. While most people choose to match their stairs’ wood color to their floors, you can also pair complementary colors for a different design. Along with functionality and simplicity, a hardwood staircase that is well taken care of can add value to your home. If you are unsure, you can’t go wrong with a hardwood staircase because you can cover it with carpet or a runner later.
Tile
Go with ceramic or porcelain tile. Tile is a great option for your high-traffic areas like stairs. The material is durable, waterproof, and easy to maintain. As with hardwood, if the rest of the your flooring is tile, the simplest choice is to extend it to the stairs. Tile offers a classic clean look, but can be slippery and lead to falls.
Carpet Runners
Carpet runners are a fantastic option that combines the timeless look of hardwoods with a carpeted staircase’s style and comfort. You’ll often see photos of intricate carpet runners on grand staircases in beautifully decorated homes. This style is sought after and considered a classic, but carpet runners can look great in today’s homes as well, elevating your home’s look.
