Nosing options for step

Hi All,

I'm looking into nosing options for this step from my wood floors living/dining room down into a tiled kitchen:

As you can see, the plaster in the kitchen keeps cracking and splitting and I need somethng to cover the join here. It's a Victorian house so nothing is level and so whatever I use needs to have a litle bit of flexibilty and not need to be on a completely level surface. 

I've seen a few alliminium options on ebay but wonder if there are any classier options, something that looks less like an office staircase perhaps. I can't find anything so maybe this is my only option. Any other ideas?

Thanks,

As I feared, nobody has a better solution. I wonder what others with similar room layouts have done...

I'd either replace the last board in the doorway with a slightly wider one and have a bullnose on the overgang (like you would with a staircase). Alternatively, cut back the plaster on the upstand of the step and replace it with a strip of solid wood stained & varnished to match the rest of the floor.

I think a bullnose overhang would be my preferred option - It only needs to be 20mm or so to stop the plaster underneath from being kicked too much.
