ᐅ Color design of the staircase in the living area, choice of materials

Our staircase will be located in the open space/gallery area and will likely be a quarter-turn steel stringer or folded plate staircase. Since it will be positioned in the middle of the room, it should also be visually appealing.
The stairs connect to solid wood floorboards made of pine or possibly larch or Douglas fir on both the ground floor and the upper floor, which we might stain darker.
However, there is a meeting of different materials and colors at both transitions to the floor. The risk is that the color tone will only be an approximate match, so we are considering choosing something "completely different."
Are there any ideas regarding this "problem" of clashing colors/materials? A steel staircase might be less comfortable to walk on, and a rustic steel staircase with diamond plate or similar looks stylish but might be too dominant in a not very large open-plan space.
Perhaps someone has pictures or ideas...

Würfels white staircase also has something special:True, we initially considered having the staircase painted after installation, and white was also discussed. But once it was installed in its raw steel finish, I actually liked it that way.A

Since you have an open living area, I would probably avoid a purely steel staircase for acoustic reasons.
As @manohara correctly points out, the railing is actually almost more important than the staircase itself 😉

With a steel staircase, it would make sense to place magnetically attached coverings on it. For example, a sisal fabric wrapped around the edges and fixed from underneath with magnets. Nowadays, magnets are strong enough that you cannot remove them by hand anymore.
... but it’s true that many of my ideas are not commercially available. Something like this would need to be custom-made by a craftsman, and it would certainly require further development ideas and testing to be carried out.

I’m just thinking out loud...
