Staircase

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.

Plain risers are the perfect opportunity to infuse your stairs with personality.

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

"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."

A designer added texture and artwork with special meaning behind it to a blank canvas spot in her home.

There was no paint required for this simple update.

"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 footprint's the same size, but it looks so much brighter and bigger.

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."
