That's wonderful ! Thank you for the encouragement!

I looked again and you may need to round off the corners as well.

Go to an actual flooring store, we have a much better selection than HD or Lowes. You can find other brands of wood, Brazilian Cherry, to match your flooring. I would use solid wood treads and risers for the stairs, stained to match your wood flooring.

The “best approach “ is to pay a visit to a good flooring company, they’ll be able to do the job.

@Pam P. Above are couple of stair jobs we have done before. Hope they can help to visualize your project a little better. The first used the floor boards and stair noses to build the treads with full white risers. The second used the full treads and white risers. I like the second more than the first, but cost you more too. White riser is where you can save money and still look gorgeous IMO. As K Laurence and Cinar suggested, try to find a specialty wood floor store or hardwood floor contractor in your area with good reputation. They can take you to the right path and deliver a happy result. Good luck with your project!

@unique wood floors....it's not my project!

Thank you for the wonderful information! I went to a professional flooring store today. They are going to come out tomorrow and give us an estimate. The owner sounded confident that they can match it. However, he encouraged us to either keep the tile we have on the landing, or replace it with a different type of tile. He doesn't think the hard wood will be durable enough for the main entrance of the house. Would you keep the existing tile or change it? We are contemplating a greyish/charcoal stone ceramic.. How do you think this will contrast with the Brazil. Cherry steps? Thanks again for all your thoughts everyone !

Wood is very durable and appropriate for your landing, especially with a protecting entry rug. Sounds like they want to cut corners for some reason. I would get another opinion, go somewhere else.

I’ve had wood in my main ( & only entrance ) to my house since the back entrance is far far away from everything else & it’s been there 17 years, looks good as new.

I would not mix grey/charcoal with brown-tone wood. There was another thread on here somewhere with a picture of an existing hardwood floor and a new floor laid beside it in a grey color. Looked awful.

If you go with tile, I would work with something in the slate blue colour range. The orange/browns of the wood will pop once you get some dark gray/blue in there. It is a very handsome look - promise.
