11 cool ways to dress up your stairs

March 5, 2015 by Stefanie Girard

11 stair makeovers

All these cool ways to dress up stairs makes me wish I had a staircase! Pop on over to the blog Decorating Your Small Space to see all the great ideas on how you can decorate your stairs. I bet some of these techniques could be used to temporarily decorate for holidays or seasonally. See the full tutorial here.

Also a great way to add a splash of color to a staircase or hide damage to and old staircase. We recently visited a home that had damage to the carpet on the stairs, fraying and torn corners where the carpet sits on the edge of the stair. The home owner, decided to take a chance and pull up the carpet, she was lucky to find beautiful wood stairs, hidden all those years under tatty old carpet. Sometimes you just have to take a chance, and live on the edge (of the stair case ).

Check out these Stair Case Decals, you simply stick them into place.
