Staircase

8 years ago

Is the staircase leading to the basement with open risers as well? Do you think it has to be?

Thank you

Depends on what is on the lower level. In this house, we wanted as much light as possible in the basement. With open risers, it gives the feel of more light and a lighter, floating stair and the staircase has a continuous design bottom to top.

Good point about giving the impression of more light. Thank you. This has helped me make my decision.

We recently installed a stair runner that we love but we really want to re-stain the floors to a much lighter color. This raises the following questions. Please help if you know!! Can we remove the runner stain the stairs and then reinstall the runner? If not, Could we sand/stain/poly around the runner without ruining the runner? Does it looks really bad if the stair treads are dark brown and the first floor is really light? Thanks in advance for chiming in!
