Wood – How to do with this bare spot on the step

patchwood

The bare spot you see below used to be covered by a gnarly patch of carpet, but I removed it when I laid that tile down. My intent was to put the same tile design over that spot, but I never got around to it. I am still considering it, but I am wondering what you guys recommend as far as overall aesthetics are concerned. I am mainly interested in hiding that ugly wood that has been exposed for over two years, but am not sure of the best way to do it.

Stick a piece of wood on it. Either stain to match the wood rising up the stairs or paint it white to match the skirting boards.
