Hello,
we recently selected tiles and now the staircase is coming up. We have chosen gray, polished porcelain tiles (see photo). What color(s) would be best for the staircase (open-stringer staircase, made of wood)?

Thank you very much in advance

Everything matches perfectly... well, every wood "color." I would base it on the rest of your furniture style.

However, the tiles look very delicate...

I’ll start differently:

Glossy tiles require more maintenance: you have to clean them more often, so please don’t forget that. Every little spot shows up immediately.

The color is a matter of personal taste. To me, gray would be too dull and “in-between” over time, but maybe that’s just personal preference. I would probably choose a shade 1–2 tones darker or lighter because that looks simpler, and I personally prefer simpler styles since they are more timeless—especially for tiles, which you can’t just replace as easily as laminate flooring.

Stairs: I probably wouldn’t choose beech; I’d go for maple or something white instead.

We have very similar tiles and oiled oak boards with white risers on a concrete staircase. It looks good.

I don’t understand that.
