We currently have painted stairs with white risers and taupe treads. We want to add a hessian stair runner, but I can't decide how best to coordinate it all together.
The walls haven't been painted yet, and the floor at the bottom of the stairs is being lifted and will be a lighter coloured original wood floor.
As you can see, the staircase is very narrow and dark. It can get brighter on a sunny day, so this is it as its worst.
Do you think we should paint the treads white before adding the runner, and then paint the walls a light (but not white) colour? Or should we leave the treads the taupe colour, and paint the walls a bright white?
(I appreciate the hessian stair runner won't be to everyone's taste, but we really like it and it will work well in our working farmhouse!)
