An L-shaped staircase with classic oak railings and spindles, re-carpeted in a grey-brown plush from the tile landing at the bottom to the parquet floor above.
The turn is handled by winder treads – pie-shaped steps that each needed an individual cut so the pile direction stays consistent through the corner. The carpet wraps every nosing tightly and finishes clean against the oak trim and the flooring transitions at both ends.
A classic Toronto staircase update: the oak stays, the tired carpet goes, and the busiest route in the house gets a dense new surface that will quietly absorb years of traffic.
