lino vs. carpet on stairs

17 years ago

Hi! We're building a new house and we're planning to do wood-look vinyl on most of the main floor (we have small kids!) It's a bi-level so you enter midway between main floor and basement & the stairs are the first thing you see. Now, my question is: if it's vinyl at the top of the stairs and on the landing, what do I do on the stairs? Would it be really odd to do carpet? The guy at the flooring store said if you do vinyl on the stairs, you have to either paint or carpet the stringers, since you apparently can't do vinyl on them. Any comments or ideas? Much appreciated as it won't be long before they're ready to do the flooring. Thanks in advance!
