You do not have to live with an outdated staircase! You can give your staircase a totally new look by removing carpet and installing wood stair treads, adding a stair runner, sprucing up your stair risers, updating the stair railing and more.
In our old home, we removed our old carpet and installed DIY wood stairs. It was so much easier than we expected and only took us 2 days to complete!
Lisa wanted to modernize her stairs, so she added wood treads and updated her stair risers with a chevron pattern.
These stairs went from outdated carpet with a terrible board backer to gorgeous floating stairs with metal safety bars and black accents. I cannot believe she did this project for under $75 and that she was new to DIY!
The look of the original staircase was not what Angela wanted in her home! She ripped out the carpet and old walls/handrail. Then she installed this modern cable railing handrail system. Gorgeous!
Medina put carpet on each of her existing stair treads and painted the risers black. I love the modern look.
This budget-friendly DIY involved switched out the old twisty iron spindles for a more modern clean version, also in iron.
