It would help to see the staircase/flooring and their style. Can they be painted and a runner added?

Thanks Maureen. I don’t have an image, was hopping to get ideas regardless of my exact staircase. Runner is less our style. Thanks!!

Hi Philo You won't need a new subfloor but you may have to skim the existing sheet vinyl to keep the old pattern from telegraphing thru to the new flooring. My Favorites - -REAL linoleum (just like the stuff from the old days - not vinyl) http://www.armstrong.com/resflram/na/linoleum/en/us/ -Cork Tile. Beautiful, extremely durable and super comfortable. A renewable resource too. http://www.corkfloor.com/pics.html http://www.corkdirect.com/ The Lino can be sheet or tile and is best installed by a pro. The cork is a good DIY project. MIKE

I actually don't mind the black, but it has to relate to other black in the room. for instance, the stairs. If you did the risers and spindle w/the black, or changed them out for the black cables. the stair steps, paint the risers white. paint the baseboards white. change out those colonial style spindles (it's not difficult to do yourself) get the plain square spindles. or, if you like more of the industrial, do the cables or horizontal metal remove them? paint the risers white or, remove the railing altogether and do something like these bookcases just on the ends. this is a traditional look, so you'd have to do more of modern type, but hopefully you get the gist bring in some black furniture like these wood hairs. white walls. see how the brick is your accent?

Although Kindling would be a timeless tone choice, I like Lunar with your choices that you have shown. If you haven't permanently (put down payments/ordered) set the wall color, cabinets nor countertop selections then I would go with Kindling and maybe explore choices in this order 1. countertops 2. Cabinet color 3. Wall color Floors are such an investment... Wishing you lots of luck during your new project!!!!!

I wouldn't put much stock in the pictures above showing floor failures. One is on tile where adhesion to the subfloor was insufficient to hold the flooring down through periods of differential expansion and contraction. The other is of Bamboo, most likely solid, a product that's notorious for instability. A local skilled and experienced wood floor person should be able to guide you through the process and alert you to any special precautions required. For example, I'm in Florida, where concrete subfloors and year-round a/c are prevalent, necessitating particular precautions. A customer living where it's cold and dry in winter would face different challenges, so find a local skilled pro and absorb everything they can share with you.

Stair finishes are the same options as flooring. If you do not have wood, then we are playing ( mostly) with carpet. For carpet you have the runner, which you say is not your style, or you have full carpet coverage of all treads and risers.

In 'theory' you can use vinyl, porcelain (don't recommend), stone ( don't recommend), cork (can be done)... And that's about it.

You say the runner isn't your style, so what is? That's why a photo is so nice. We pick up style cues from other things in the photo.
