Upgrade Stairs

The stairs were too small an looked very old.

Step 1: Intedrade LED´s

1. Drill holes for all LED´s

2. Put them in and connect cables under the stairs.

Step 2: Cut New Step Toppings

1. Make one cardboard template with the largest step.

2. Cut all step toppings (every second mirrored)

3. Mesure up all steps and shorten every step topping, if needed

4. Test it by laying them on their stairs

Step 3: Paint With Clear Parquet Paint

If you like the look: I burned the steptoppings with a kitchen burner

Then paint them with clear parquet paint

Step 4: Paint the Stair in Your Favorite Colour

I took black :)

Step 5: Put the Step Toppings On

I locked them with long golden torx screws

Step 6: Make a New Handrail

Additional I made a simple handrail in the same look.

Step 7: Optimize Stairs

I shortened the steps to 23 cm in depth and rounded them.
