Step 4 · Choose Your 'Reveal'

The 'reveal' is the design term for the hardwood you leave exposed on either side of your carpet tread. This is where safety meets style! While the choice is yours, many homeowners prefer a reveal of a half-inch to a few inches. Pro tip: Use painter's tape to temporarily mark different reveal options on a step. This lets you visualize the final result and choose the perfect balance that brings warmth and elegance to your home.
