Black-and-White Painted Stairs

If your stairs feature dated carpet, consider ripping it out for a fresh paint job, as @lagirl310 did here.

Keep in mind, removing carpet from stairs isn’t quick or easy. It involves carefully removing tack strips, carpet padding, staples and nails, as well as thoroughly sanding the wood after. And that’s before even opening a paint can! But these chic black-and-white stairs are proof the effort is definitely worth it. Check out the full tutorial here.

Painted Stairs With a Unique Banister

These turquoise stairs by @the_warren_crew_at_52 pop against the white walls, creating a fun and modern centerpiece for the hallway. The banister’s graphic design is stunning on its own, but the paint color takes it to the next level.

Of course, freshly painted stairs will scuff eventually. Protect the finish with a carpeted stair runner, as shown in the example here.
