Step it up with paint and give a staircase a coastal vibe.
Whether your staircase is leading up to a second floor or down to the basement, you can turn it into a coastal and sea inspired feature with paint. You can paint the risers, the steps, the railing, go with a painted stair runner design, paint words, use decals, and more.
