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.

Transforming an IKEA Shelf into a Rustic Farmhouse Beauty

Looking to add some rustic charm to your space without breaking the bank? Donna from Funky Junk Interiors has shared a brilliant DIY hack that turns a standard IKEA storage shelf into a stunning farmhouse-style piece.

Donna started with the basic IKEA HENJNE shelving unit, which is functional but lacks character. To infuse it with rustic appeal, she stained the wood to deepen its tone and added vintage baskets and a stenciled crate labeled “Pure Cane Sugar” for a nostalgic touch. This clever combination not only enhanced the shelf’s aesthetic but also increased its storage capacity, making it both beautiful and practical.?

This project is a perfect example of how a little creativity can transform everyday furniture into something special. By incorporating vintage elements and a touch of DIY flair, Donna elevated a simple storage unit into a statement piece that complements various interior styles, from farmhouse to industrial.?

If you’re looking for an easy and affordable way to upgrade your home decor, this IKEA hack is a fantastic option. With just a few materials and some elbow grease, you can create a unique piece that adds character and functionality to your space.?

For a detailed guide and more inspiration, check out the full tutorial on Funky Junk Interiors
