What we did

Inset treads are less forgiving than a fully carpeted stair. There is no riser to hide the edge against, so every piece is cut to sit square on its own tread with the same margin of bare wood showing on both sides, and any wander in that line is obvious from the hall. The curve makes every tread a slightly different shape, and the rounded starting step at the bottom has to be wrapped so the carpet follows the nose the whole way round without a pucker or a visible join.
