I am a TOTAL sucker for stair runners, I mean, they truly make me weak in the knees (not an ideal condition for climbing stairs, LOL) but these "creative decor" ideas for your stairway, make putting in a runner seem like a cop-out (well, not really but they do put up quite a fight). They also seem to earn points in the financial category, as I have this completely unsupported notion that stair runners are expensive... Are they? In all honesty, I've never looked into it, but because they look so classy, I've just always assumed they'd be an element that would break the bank. Anyway, whether they are affordable or are not, these stair decor ideas are pretty legit in their own right and many of them seem pretty doable for any level DIY-er.
Have a look up and down at 'em:
I'm certainly not opposed to painting one's stairs like a runner...
Skittles Stairs.. Taste the rainbow!
XOXO this! ;)
An OCDer's dream..
I may never stop ogling over ombre (sigh)
I can't say I'd want this in my house but I won't deny credit for ingenuity.
This incites a 90's flashback... but truthfully, it's kind of "growing" on me, hee hee
This is the "key" to the upstairs
Count it! This ombre banister is making me green with envy!
Another "faux runner"
And last, but definitely not least, this one might have "climbed the ladder" to my #1 favorite:
Happy Hump Day, everyone! You've made it up the hill and it's downhill from here!
