Dark wood stairs white risers.
We can replace the risers while the rest of the floors are being done.
The look is almost dramatic so much so that the stairway itself becomes the focal point by just painting it.
It needed a lot of maintenance for chips and scratches and dirt.
Lately darker colours even black are being used with some great results.
It would make the steps easier to see in the dark.

In the house i just bought the stairs and risers are painted dark blue as are the walls of the staircase.
Asap i plan to paint the risers white stain the treads to match the hardwood floor and paint the walls a light color.
Painting stair risers in dark colour.
While i would love to hardwood the stairs and have a carpet runner down the middle budget doesn t allow for it.

So i can either entirely carpet both treads and risers or carpet treads and paint risers white worried about scuff marks or stain risers dark.

A lot of stairway trim and risers get painted in white or off white cloud white being the default choice.
In spite of some white trim at the lower sides of the walls it is about impossible to see.
Thinking of trying it on existing pine stair tread and risers or maybe retro to red oak or white oak wood.
