step lighting

13 years ago

I am trying to figure out how to place lighting for a 2 step down into our living room. The steps are concrete and will soon have travertine tile on top of the concrete. What would be a good way to do this. I really just want to make them safer by being noticable. Thanks in advance.

Hi Linda

If you could post a photo it would really help to make specific recommendations. Generally speaking though, your steps could be illuminated with lighting from the side, on the tread or in the riser. here are a few examples. Also, a continuous LED strip light in the riser of the steps, which would be tiled around. If you have enclosed wooden stairs you'll have more options than with concrete or with open risers.
