Comments (5)Hi For years, people have stripped back carpet from stairs and painted them. With wooden floors being sold in all flooring shops, wooden stairs seem a natural progression - if not too noisy and not prone to scratch marks as people have said.

There may be also be considerations related to resale. In a neighborhood where all the houses are like the OP's place, I wouldn't hesitate to go contemporary, and my guess is that many others would also be going that way, but his house is a relatively recent infill in an old established strip....See MoreHelp with 1970s exterior
