I just love the idea of painted stairs and want to share some photos of painted stairs with you, well chosen colours and hues can add elegance, style, lightness, vibrancy or subtleness , contrast or co-ordination to interior decoration.

Cohesiveness can be easily achieved with relatively lower cost than other floor coverings like carpets or laminated floors and they can be a lot of fun as well and looks great when are well done. Here are a few I have found for you to enjoy.
