carpeted staircase question

9 years ago
last modified: 9 years ago


We have a staircase that's carpeted, and we want to replace the carpet, but we don't want the carpet to wrap around the side edges of the staircase under the banister as it does now. Nor do we want to spend a lot of money re-doing all the risers and treads to have a lot of exposed wood on both sides of the carpet. We were thinking maybe some kind of wood trim along those edges might work, but we can't find anything online that looks like what I'm describing, and I don't know if that would work or not. If someone can give me some examples so I can see how it might look, it would help our decision whether to do that. We will also be replacing our banister to make it more contemporary than the 1960s styling we have now.
