Here is an article that might help you - https://www.hunker.com/13402617/how-to-remodel-open-riser-stairs - good luck
And if you put a door on it, you have some extra storage space too.
Hello again,
As, you don't have access to MDF or Hardboard or Plywood to do a permanent job, but appear to have a timber to the back of each step, I would suggest you screw or nail/pin fabric/sheet to the back side into the frame on the outside and the middle timber. That will stop the dust! If you have dress fabric you could use, that would look great too as patterned risers seem to be all the rage at the moment! If you don't have a large amount of one fabric, maybe cut up some old skirts/curtains etc. Measure the length and width of each step as you go. Cut fabric to fit and pin it in place or tape across front if you don't want the middle timber to show or on the back of stair if you do want it to show. Different fabrics will create the spanish tile look . Hope that's of help to you. Stay safe and keep busy.....................
