These are solid red oak steps with a custom stain to match the LVT installed in the basement.

could you please tell me what is your stain color? I have the same lvt and am having a hard time finding a stain to match on red oak treads!

If you are feeling adventurous and carry out your research, try painting the oak with ammonia. You will need to obtain ammonia and an adequate vapour mask. However you will achieve through your efforts a beautiful chocolate coloured oak due to the tannins in the woods. Allow the ammonia to evaporate then varnish with a polyurethane based product. It does look absolutely stunning. Good luck

hi all, update is I have finally found a photo of someones stairs done in Brintons timorous beastie yellow Ruskin butterfly and its made me decide we are definitely 100% going for this as I love it (see attached pics) on stairs and landing... Floor in hall will be oak herringbone parquet, just wall colour to decide and we have bought new tall skirting so colour to paint this also? i have attcahed apic of the hall currently so you can see our front door with stain glass.. As Ive mentioned before the banister and spindles will be replaces with square spindles with an oak top banister and oak end cap - similar to this houzz pic ... So just to deicide on wall colour and new skirting colour... I really like f&b light blue in a hall with oak parquet but I don't feel this will go with the carpet... Kitchen and dining room will be one of the sage shades and lounge Wimborne white and downpipe...

what to do with stairs odd newel handrail
Q

CC - the bottom newel post had to be replaced as it was wonky and couldn't be sanded down to get rid of the wire brush edging. Also, it was pine and I wanted to have it stained to match the original oak railing. Unfortunately, the original handrail wasn't straight and had a big knot in the middle so it was impossible to fit the new spindles/balusters. Both bottom newel post and cap and handrail are new oak. I will have them stained with an Osmo terra or a similar shade of stain, black brown without any orange or terracotta undertones.

What do I do with my modern stairs?

@Victoria My main concern is whether the tumbled edges of the new tile will look weird in the treads up against the straight wooden inlay. Also I am assuming there might be a lot of tile wastage as couldn't put a cut tile edge next to a fresh tumbled edge (tiles are 900 x 600). Just wondering if a more creative solution - i.e. do we go for an easier to manage smaller more decorative tile in the treads or is that going to look bananas?
