5 Ways to Spruce Up Your Floors

Color Underfoot

From crisp stripes to artsy (but easy!) detailing, check out five pretty ideas for transforming overlooked areas, like floors, stairs and rugs.

A bold pattern in the entryway––think of-the-moment zigzags or broad blocks of color––sets a vibrant tone for your home. It's also a chance to try a style before making a bigger commitment, like painting your entire floor. Your basic tools: acrylic fabric paint from the craft store and a bristly paintbrush to work it into the weave.

For detailed directions for the projects shown in this slideshow, go to WomansDay.com/Floor.


Striped "Runner"

A pattern of painted lines creates the look of a colorful, vibrant runner down crisp white stairs. For this look, practice your design on posterboard until you get the right mix; lines of different widths, in tonal hues (like the ones here) or up to three colors, will look best. Use masking tape to lay out the design on the stairs, then take a step back to eyeball it, advises decorative painter Annie Sloan, author of Quick & Easy Paint Transformations : "You'll know immediately if it's not right."
