Our stairs are getting some pretty special treatment. Since the staircase is in the front of the house where we're trying to preserve a super historic feel, we decided to ditch the half wall and convert to open treads which also meant new treads (the same reclaimed heart pine as our flooring), and I REALLY wanted tread brackets. Tread brackets are what I call jewelry for the stairs. I didn't even know they existed (consciously) until I started pouring over images of historic stairs. So what are they? Those pieces on the side/profile of the stairs. They are wood right now but will be painted white (treads will be stained) and will add a subtle layer of detail. I like the fancy brackets too but I don't like the price. O:)
Here's an example of a staircase with very elaborate tread brackets:
