Hi!
I'm in the process of renovating our old staircase.
It is completely dangerous today because it is both steep and very shallow.
I've been thinking back and forth about how to make the staircase safer, more comfortable, and of course, stylish.
My latest idea is to completely remove the riser and install new, wider treads on top of the existing ones.
What do you think?
Any other ideas?

It is the distance from tread nose to tread nose that determines if the staircase is comfortable to walk on. If you add a board to each step, the distance doesn't change.
Make the staircase slip-resistant instead?

Correct.
Gluing on a carpet reduces the risk of slipping. However, we went ahead and rebuilt the stairs with new stringers. See Renovation of 50s Stairs | Byggahus.se
