Refinish your treads or risers
Notes:
- If your entire staircase is looking a bit outdated and the worse for wear, consider refinishing your treads or risers. If your treads currently feature carpet, perhaps you’d prefer to remove the material and replace it with wood.
- If you already have wood tread, but it’s in bad condition, try smoothing and refinishing that. Risers are not typically the most noticeable part of a stairway, but you can make them stand out by choosing risers of a contrasting color or an interesting material like tile.

Install a unique runner
Notes:
- Stair runners serve the dual purpose of improving your staircase’s appearance and making the tread less slippery. Choose one with an interesting color or pattern to make it stand out, but don’t forget to pick a runner that goes well with the material of your stairs.

Add a decorative railing
Notes:
- If your stairs themselves are in good condition, but you still want to add an accent, consider adding a decorative railing. This could mean giving your current railings a new coat of paint, switching out the railing posts or spindles with more ornate options, or adding a new set of railings altogether.
- If you plan to install all-new railings to your staircase, you’ll need to measure your stairs properly to get the right fit.

Embellish your stair trim
Notes:
- You know how molding always makes a home seem much fancier? It’s just the same for staircases. To enhance your staircase’s appearance, try embellishing the trim along the stairs themselves or the wall that travels along the stairs.
- This addition works particularly nicely with traditionally styled homes, but depending on the design of the molding, it can also be a great detail for homes of other styles.

Decorate your stairwell
Notes:
- Making changes to your actual staircase is not the only way to make it look fancier and more appealing. If you already love the way your physical staircase looks or would like to keep the renovations to a minimum, add some art, plants, or other decorations to your stairwell.
- Try some unique wall art that you can admire as you descend the stairs or pass a landing. That will help bring some color to your setup.

Incorporate some lighting
Notes:
- Changing up the lighting in your stairwell is another way to add an artistic touch. If you often find yourself stumbling down the stairs in the dark, the extra lighting will be quite practical as well. Install some lights on individual stairs, or change up the overhead lighting to make it fancier.
