3 Ideas for Stair Flair


Some people live in houses built with dramatic Gone-With-The-Wind staircases or modern, cantilevered, glass steps. Most of us, though, live with standard-issue stairways that are — yes! — a great decorating opportunity. Step this way and turn standard into stellar ...  



1. Add color!
Bold color, shiny lacquer color, or just a band of color like a faux runner. 


2. Customize the details.
Nautical hardware and rope spindles will transport you to your yacht or beach house
or lobster boat (you choose) every time you climb the stairs.

3. Decorate the risers.
The sky's the limit. Maybe words, maybe numbers, waves,  dots, or rows of decoupaged apples or a little puppy running up.  I'm not sure how well it would stick, but you could also try adhering
strips of left-over wallpaper.
