Tiling stair risers...questions...

I put wallpaper on ours - actually it's a vintage Arts and Crafts, organic style border paper that I bought on fleabay about twelve years ago, lol, but was just the right height to fit 😉

As our 400 year old former mill has a very eclectic, maximal look and we collect stuff from the Arts and Crafts period it works for us.

It was done as a temporary measure but two years on it's still there. I gave it a couple of coats of varnish intending to add more but never did so it's become a little grubby 🙄

No I don't think I'd use stickers, I imagine in reality it would look pretty bad

I can just paint them I guess!

How about laminate flooring boards or LVF?

I don't think I'd use laminate flooring for the risers. They are already wood. I just liked the look of the tiled ones online

I meant tile effect

LVT or an offcut of vinyl flooring. Plenty of patterns that look like tiles - Use double sided carpet tape and it won't come off unless you need to remove it.

I got some samples of karndean and polyfloor lvt a while ago for something else and wasn't impressed. Looked very fake and plastic. I actually think their wood effect stuff is much better than the tile
