Stairs

There was no paint required for this simple update.

The homeowner wanted “the transition from the first floor to the second floor to have a wow factor.”

This DIY redo saved the homeowner thousands of dollars.

The staircase is now a talking point.

“It adds an amazing pop of color,” the DIYer says.

It looks so much brighter.

There’s a lot of potential in even the most awkward of spaces.

"This is my happy place!" the DIYer says of the "after."

This redo is all about first impressions.

A dripping paint effect without using paint? You'll have to see this staircase to believe it.

The blank entryway got a little punch of cheer.

This designer used several simple go-tos for making a room feel airier and lighter.

Now, it's historic AND bold. It sets the tone for the rest of the jewel-toned home.

"I love the classic look and the added closed storage," this DIYer says of her innovative railing swap.

"I’m head-over-heels in love with the colors we used," this homeowner says.

"I counted how many times I used the stairs in question over the course of one day, and it was over 30!" this DIYer says. "That’s a lot of time to be in boring decor. It deserved a makeover."

"The before was really 50 shades of beige — very uninspired!" this homeowner says. Her colorful refresh has great artwork and tips for hanging it.

Blue walls become vintage green in this entryway redo.

"I had all of these ideas and was struggling to narrow them down, to simplify the design, until I realized it’s my house, and in this small space I can take some risks," the homeowner says. "So I did all of them."

The DIY project totally changes the look of this home's entryway.

The DIY job cost literally a fraction of what they were quoted.

"The cost was so little for the overall impact on our home," the homeowner says.

This smart upgrade is one that you can easily copy in your own home.

The after is a serious "wow."

These stairs just leveled up—by a lot!
