Hi everyone. I completed by cat step unit, picture below (probably sideways.) I was thinking about trim similar to my shoe box project, picture below. But as I was putting up test pieces, it doesn't look too good. So I would really really like some suggestion please.

Maybe a large square from centre step followed by a rectangle from the next step in each direction and finish up with a small square top and bottom step. Hope that makes sense.

Another option is form a large triangle and just have solid trim from the diagonal of your triangle into each of the steps.

Ok I have both. I'll see what looks better.

Alternatively, how about if I cut 1/4" birch/oak plywood and glue it over the entire side? May look plainer, but I can always add trim afterwards.
That would work, depends if you're trying to match it in with anything.

That sounds good, think it will work nicely. Just to throw the cat among the pigeons. You could go large square with 2 triangles. I think you would know best if that or the original option would look best as you know the shapes of you existing decor.
