Hello Houzzers I would like to know your thoughts on painting stair risers like the pics I've attached. I like them my OH is having 150 million second thoughts 😂😂 (only slightly exaggerating)

Putting in a painted stairs with walnut treads. Oak or walnut landing?
Comments (1)When you say painted stairs, you mean the risers are painted white? Then the landing should be what the treads are…walnut. I don’t understand why oak is even in the equation. Where is there oak?...See MorePainting stairs cream
Comments (2)Who would paint redwood???? That's a total sin against the wood gods. Don't waste money on a premium upgraded wood like that if you want paint. Go with cheap paint grade poplar for half the price. And don't do cream paint to walk on unless you want to repaint every 6 months....See MoreNeed help with my Hallway and stairs area
Comments (3)Empty out the furniture and fixtures there, including the lamp and ceiling fixture.Use a storage bench instead for a place to sit and remove shoes. Shoes or backpacks can be dropped inside it. You can get much better lighting from a fixture that has lights to wash the ceiling and to light the floor. What is under your stairs? Do you have room to install some storage there? Pull out stair drawers might work for shoes, and you might add some pull outs under the stairs if they are suited for it. A foyer should serve to introduce you, your style and the decor to be expected in the adjoining rooms. I would key furnishings and paint to what is going on in the rooms left and right of the foyer. Everything I see hanging on the walls is hung too high. The general rule is that the center point of a single piece or a grouping should be 5' above the floor. If the first piece at the bottom of the stairwell is hung at that level, you can use painter's tape to tape the center line all the way up the stairs and arrange pictures above and below the line, with a few centered right on it for a more pleasant arrangement. Not knowing much about the rest of your home or your personal style, I might suggest you paint a soft color like Sherwin WIlliams Sea Salt....See MoreStairs help

3 years agoThere you go @ED 😁 lots of little evils/botched bits were hidden under that striped carpet(whole misssing bits in the actual stair threads, split wood etc) which explained the movements and horrendous creaking.
