Flooring in the hallway and on the stairs you have a few options the stairs you could go with a bare natural wood finish or you could paint the steps white to give them a bright look and perhaps use a stair runner carpet in the centre of the stairs to give a warmer feel.

There are a number of great ways you can light up your stair treads and steps at home as highlighted below:
- LED light strips recessed underneath the stair tread front section shining down on the the stair riser below looks great giving stylish lighting as well as a functional light. This form of lighting is not the most simple to install as it requires the front of the stair tread to be cut out so that the LED lighting strip can be recessed in so maybe a better option for a new staircase being fitted.
- Mini recessed lights placed into the front of the step shining out are a popular choice normally 2 lights per step gives a good look and you can decide whether to put lights in each step or every other step it is all personal choice.
