Add Decorative Stickers to Stair Risers

What happens in this clip

Acquire small, themed stickers, such as the cute mouse-themed ones shown in the video. Carefully peel and adhere these stickers to the stair risers that were not covered with the patterned wallpaper. This adds another layer of personalization and charm to the stairwell, creating continuity with the woodland theme.

Goal: Complement the patterned wallpaper on the stair risers with small, themed stickers, adding a whimsical touch to the unpapered risers.

This project transforms a bland hallway and stairwell by painting the walls a dark hue, adding decorative wallpaper to stair risers, and curating various art pieces and decor to create a dramatic and personalized focal point.

Step 3 of 5: Install Stair Risers Decorations

Clean the surface of each stair riser to ensure good adhesion. Apply festive decals, such as snowflakes, reindeer, or holiday greetings, to the center of each riser. Alternatively, use temporary adhesive hooks to hang small, lightweight ornaments or figures on each riser. Ensure decorations are aligned evenly.
