Carpet on stairs, laminate on landing?

7 years ago

Hi,

I have semi-solid wood flooring in the hallway of my house and I want to put laminate upstairs in the bedrooms and the landing but I'm confused about what to do with the stairs.

Ideally I'd like a laminate stairs but am concerned about it not matching the wood in the hall and I've also been told by various suppliers that it's an awkward job that they don't usually do. I'd also be worried about children slipping on a laminate stairs.

If I go with carpet I'd prefer not to have to carpet the landing as well but am worried that might look strange and how to finish the top step seems to be a difficulty as well both from an aesthetic and safety point of view.

Any advice would be much appreciated!

I am a fan of black as a disappearing colour! If the tha bannisters were painted black the Victorian look of cast iron would fit. The walls are too pale , would you consider a dark green( FB Green Smoke) under the rail, next to the carpet, and a much lighter version above( FB Light Blue or Pale Powder). Not really sure of the shade of green in the carpet, it might be more FB Oval Room. I am fond of the Pugin look but realise it is powerful and invariably used with very dark paints. We changed our ginger brown stairs, over 3 storeys to white. 13 years later the effort was not only worth it but the pain has subsided too!

So I've ripped up the carpets from the stairs, landing and upstairs rooms. We have dogs and cats and the place was covered in hairs!! So should I just paint all the floor boards or should I put some kind of flooring down???

We did a complete renovation of a staircase in Donabate - it was run down and was in need of an up-lift! The carpet was removed and new maintenance free, high pressure laminate treads and risers were built on top of the existing staircase. The side stringer panels were given a maintenance free white veneer finish and the existing staircase accessories were removed. We supplied and installed new solid oak handrail, baserail and newel posts with primed white spindles. The client was over the moon with their new staircase, as were we!
