Painting risers to match an adjacent wall or accent color can make a huge difference to the overall tone of the staircase. This is one of the most affordable options available, requiring few materials and the best part is you can do it by yourself. Just remember to tape everything off and use high quality brushes when painting.
Carpet runners are not only a sophisticated accent to your staircase but are quite functional. Many homeowners prefer the texture of carpet to hardwood on well- traveled stairs. Choose a runner that is both stylish and durable.
The area under a staircase is often overlooked but can serve a variety of purposes for utility or design. Rethink this empty space by creating a functional storage unit or adding a unique architectural feature. Consider built-in shelves, display cases, doggy rooms or storage closets as an upgrade.
