How to Tile Stair Risers With Tile
Decorative tiles for stair risers are all the rage right now. And it’s no wonder! With a limited amount of material and time, you can completely transform your home in just a couple of days.
Today, we are outlining a few of our favorite tips for how to style your staircase and incorporate decorative tile into your overall design. Discover installation inspiration and more, below!
Tip 1: Keep Your Tile Color Neutral But Go Bold With Design
Create subtle sophistication in your interior by picking a tile with a neutral color palette.
For example, look at the project below. This is a perfect example of how to use a subdued colorway to introduce a bold pattern into your design.

Again, here the client chose the beige color option from the Ella Collection and paired it with a cool-toned limestone to keep this Spanish Revival home feeling rustic and unique.

Tip 2: Select a Unique Tile Design for Every Riser
We have to admit, this next style for designing a staircase is our favorite!
Create an eye-catching and one-of-a-kind statement in your home by using a unique tile design for each stair riser.
While it may seem daunting to choose collections that will fit together cohesively, the trick is to not overthink it!
You can mix and match different color palettes, or choose designs that all feature a similar colorway, like the staircase below.

Tip 3: Alternate Decorative Tile on Every Other Step
If you want to keep things mostly neutral with just a hint of pattern, try adding a decorative tile to every other step.
This is the perfect solution for people who want a little bit of pattern and a little bit of minimalistic flair.
Take a look at three interiors below that feature this alternate decorative tile design for stair risers.

Tip 4: Use Decorative Tiles for Stair Risers and Other Areas of the Home
Tie together your interior by incorporating the same decorative tile in other spaces of your home.
Below, you can see two great examples of how to seamlessly tie your interior together by adding decorative tile to other spaces, like your kitchen backsplash or home bar.

In this space, the client used our Chapman collection to create an inviting staircase and kitchen backsplash.
