Basement stairway

3 years ago

We have hardwood throughout our first floor. We are in the final stages of finishing our basement, and will be installing luxury vinyl plank. Stairs are currently unfinished builder grade pine with bullnose treads.
Our main stairway to our 2nd floor has a textured carpet that I like, and the carpeting continues throughout the 2nd floor.
I would like to put carpeting on the basement stairs as well, but was wondering if it would look strange not having it on either adjoining floor. Not crazy about the idea of a runner, as I would then have to finish the stair treads and risers. Has anyone seen carpeting done only on the stairs?
FYI staircases are “switchback” style, so you don’t see the basement from the main floor.
