#6 A WAY TO SHOW OFF YOUR
READING OBSESSION

Have a specific obsession? Decals are a great (read:

easy) way for your staircase to share your fandom.
Peel-and-stick decals can be customized with your

choice of words or images. Bibliophiles can choose

book titles like these, but thanks to the wide world of

available decals, you can also find favorite sayings,
patterns, characters — you could even create a "The

Walking Dead"-themed staircase if zombies are more

your thing.
When working with decals, just make sure to read the

fine print. These decals, for example, are just the

lettering of the book titles, so painting the risers is a
project you'd need to take on first.

#7 AN ECLECTIC LOOK WITH

REAL TILE

We'll say it again: There's just nothing like

tile. It's incredibly durable — great for

hardworking staircases.

Creating alternating sets of pattern and
complementary colors on each riser makes

for a one-of-a-kind staircase that's

anything but redundant.

While trimming tile to fit stair risers might

be above some DIYers' pay grade, this

personalized look could be worth flagging

down an expert to pull off.
