Laying laminate/vinyl with an internal staircase?

[Lucas Hammer]

So I have a two-flat that I'm house-hacking and I'm replacing the floor in my unit to be able to rent out later. We're planning on laying LVP/EVP or laminate, but I'm also rebuilding an internal staircase.

My question is: for anyone who's run into this, how do you go about laying the floor for the stairs. I've found some laminate/vinyl stair caps, but they're ridiculously expensive for what they are and we're trying to match the floors and the caps have very limited color options.

If you've done something that works, would you have any pictures to show as well? I want to go affordable, but don't want it to look too DIY.
