Forrest which one would you think would look better?

White risers will get scuffed easily and require periodic repainting.

I like white risers but did have to repaint. Although any riser will get scuff marks. It’s odd since we don’t wear shoes in the house.

This was ours

paint. doesn't have to be white. could be gray or charcoal.

with whitei paint

with the vinyl. (I don't care for this look at all)

this one is ok.

on this one I might have done black risers to go w/the black railing.

We went with stained hardwood treads and painted white risers when we did our basement… and LVP on the floor.

i prefer this look over wood-look risers.

We did both treads and risers with the vinyl I thought I wanted white risers but I am really happy we went all the same.
