When remodeling your home, there are a few things to consider, especially when it comes to your floors. What sometimes slips the mind of those actually making the changes, are the stairs that can take you from level to level in your home. Oftentimes, the stairs are neglected and have a roll of carpet affixed to them -- but it doesn’t have to be that way. If you’re installing new hardwood floors in your home, there are a number of ways you can paint or stain the stairs to match, making the them of your home fluid and consistent.
Painting To Match
Before putting the paintbrush and can away, think about how the paint could benefit you. When you look at a set of stairs, the vertical plank is oftentimes painted white for neutrality. But in the day and age, who likes normal? Consider painting this section the same color as the walls of the room they’re predominantly in. This helps bring more color to the room and a change of image that many people aren’t used to seeing. The best part of all? This DIY trick is virtually free and can spice up hardwood flooring in any home!
A Matching Stain
Instead of leaving wood the same color as it came, consider adding a bright stain to the stairs. Instead of something that may be a different shade, this can match your floors and really set off the room’s appearance, and bring more consistent color to the space. This is particularly good for those who aren’t too high maintenance, as those stairs won’t see as many scuffs as a flat floor would, thus needing less work as time goes on.
Whatever the style you decide to go with is, make sure your flooring material is top notch. Purchasing your supplies from any old store might save you a few bucks, but when it comes to selection and quality of storage of something as sensitive as wood flooring, it’s important to bring your business to someone who knows what they’re doing.
