How to Match Your Stairs With Existing Flooring and Decor

At NuStair, we know that stairs are more than just a way to move between levels in your home. They’re also a key design feature that ties your space together. When you remodel your stairs, choosing the right materials, finishes, and colors is essential to create a seamless look that complements your existing flooring and décor. Here are a few tips to help you achieve that perfect match.

Start with Your Flooring

The most important factor in matching your stairs is your flooring. Whether you have hardwood, laminate, tile, or carpet, your stairs should feel like a natural extension of the space. With the NuStair system, you can select stair treads and risers that coordinate beautifully with your existing floors. For hardwood or laminate, we can match stains and finishes so the transition is nearly invisible. If you have carpeting, you might consider hardwood treads with carpet runners for a classic, elegant look.

Consider Color and Tone

It’s not just about the type of flooring – it’s also about color. Lighter floors paired with light-stained stairs create an open, airy atmosphere, while dark floors and rich wood tones add depth and sophistication. If your décor mixes tones (for example, gray floors with darker furniture), you can use your stairs to bridge the gap by selecting a stain that complements both. At NuStair, we offer a wide variety of stain options to ensure your stairs enhance, rather than compete with, your home’s color palette.

Match the Style of Your Décor

Your stairs should also reflect the overall style of your home. In a modern space, sleek, simple stair treads and minimalist railings look right at home. For traditional or rustic interiors, you might choose warm wood tones with classic detailing. Because the NuStair refacing system works with your existing staircase, you can transform the look without the mess or cost of a full rebuild – all while tailoring the design to your décor.

Don’t Forget the Details

Small details can make a big difference. Railings, balusters, and newel posts are opportunities to tie your stairs into your home’s design. For example, iron balusters pair beautifully with both dark hardwood floors and contemporary décor, while painted risers can add a crisp, clean contrast to wood treads. NuStair gives you the flexibility to mix and match these details to create a look that feels intentional and cohesive.
