Step 4 · Choose Your 'Reveal' (Exposed Wood)

This is where your personal style comes in! The 'reveal' is the space between the edge of the carpet tread and the edge of your stair. For example, if your stair is 36 inches wide and you want a 1-inch reveal on each side, you would subtract 2 inches total, meaning a 34-inch wide tread is your perfect fit. This design choice beautifully frames your treads and highlights the warmth of your wooden stairs.
