BEST SPRING DIY HOME PROJECT



Makeover Your Stair Risers!

Stair risers, an often overlooked feature of your home, are a great blank canvas for adding a little more style and flair to your interior!

We love the idea of covering them with decorative wallpaper or craft paper (as pictured above) or simply painting them a bold color. Try using different shades of the same color (use a paint strip at the hardware store as a guide) as the stairs get higher and higher.

How to use decorative paper to update your stair risers here:

DIRECTIONS:

  • Choose a decorative paper, cardstock or wallpaper.
  • Trim the paper to the width and length of your stair risers. You may need to piece together multiple pieces to achieve the desired size—don’t worry, just make sure to line up the pattern on the paper if there is one.
  • Take your measured paper to be laminated. You can also use clear contact paper and do it yourself.
  • Apply the laminated paper to your stair risers with an adhesive such as Mod Podge, which you can find at your local craft store.
  • Enjoy all the compliments your friends and family will inevitably give you when they come over!
