It may be small and narrow, but that doesn't mean your stairway can't get the same decorating treatment as the rest of your home.
These simple staircase decorating ideas will transform this space, from simple to sophisticated.
Ombré paint job
Choose consecutive colours on the same paint strip (as pictured) for the best effect. This look can be created by using four to five shades on three stairs apiece. A small, angled brush is best for edges; use a larger brush to fill in.
Bright patterns
A striped stair runner, for example, adds a punch of colour to an otherwise plain staircase.
Number it
Numbering your stairs can be a quirky way to add character to this space, and the kids will just love counting their steps on the way up.
Rustic railing
A nautical rope lends a hand as a witty alternative to the standard banister.
Home art gallery
Hang small artworks on staircase risers to give this space a personal, homey touch.
