not tried tiling but have you considered a sun pipe?  we have one and it is really amazing how much brighter the hall is.  no one notices that there isnt a window.

We have a window and it's not really dark, but I just like bright and airy. Light coloured carpet is a no go with 2 preschoolers and 2 dogs.  The sun pipe looks good but we have a converted attic above and also wouldnt want to start messing with insulation and airtightness detail around it.

Perhaps a similar tile to downstairs, but in a lighter, tone might suggest moving into the more intimate areas of the house (see Caliwg's design book or "Pattern Language").

 

UFH?

 

Or UFH in a corridor from the master bedroom and not the others? :ph34r: Must reinforce the hierarchy !

 

Ours is carpet, and our former was was wooden, but we didn't build either. Could you use other tile materials?

My sister has tiles upstairs in the hallway as she has an "Upside Down" house - Living room/kitchen upstairs.

 

She had no issues and there is UFH upstairs also.  

 

Just getting the detail right at the top of the stairs.  

 

But it looks well
