Estimated Cost:

The cost for enhancing and giving a new look can go up to $300.

Don’t go broke, Try this:

1. Color: Use an interesting shade different from the wall to give your stairway a simple touch. You can also paint the banister a bright contrasting color from the wall so that it stands out.

2. Masks or baskets: Try using handicrafts to decorate your stairway. Hang beautiful masks on the wall or place baskets at regular intervals on the staircase. You can also place a suitably sized statue at the end of the stairway.

3. Flowers: You can put a vase with fresh or fake flowers on the platform, at the base or the top where the railing ends. You can decorate it with different fresh flowers every other day.

4. Plant: Try adding a plant to bring more life to your stairway. You could also hide any flaws in the stairway using a plant.

5. Photos: You can always personalize this section with your family portraits and hang them on the wall. If you do not want the same, you can put up other kinds of pictures or paintings on the wall.

6. Mirrors: Mirrors will help make your space look bigger than the actual size. You can decorate your walls with multiple mirrors in different shapes or sizes either with a modern or antique feel.

7. Wall Candles: If pictures and mirrors do not attract you, and you are looking for something different, wall candles can be of help. You can place elegant wall candles in any one particular style on the stairway. You can use scented candles instead of the plain ones too.

Thrifty Tips

• Use stencils to create your own designs on the wall. Draw what you want from fairies to flowers to birds, etc.

• Try different quirky stuff on your wall such as empty frames or put together several wooden frames in a geometric shape to make it a little different than the usual stuff.

• Use mirrors and photos together to put pictures of ancestor or family members, but make sure to stick to a unifying theme and color pattern so it looks stylized in a systematic manner. You can also display your kid’s art in these frames.
