An open-sided staircase with every tread individually wrapped in a dark taupe carpet, set against white risers and a white stringer for a sharp two-tone look.
Open-sided steps are the most unforgiving stair work there is: the wrapped edge of every tread is visible from the room below, so each piece has to be folded and secured cleanly on three sides, not just front and back. Any shortcut shows from across the room.
Each tread was wrapped, tacked and finished individually. The result is a modern, floating look with the practical benefits carpet brings to stairs – grip underfoot and a staircase that no longer announces every trip up and down.
