Outdoor wooden stairs are often affected by rain and sun, so they easily become old over time. Accordingly, housewives can apply a few simple decoration methods to beautify this area to prepare for the Lunar New Year.
Decorating with ornamental plant pots
This is a simple but effective way to "soften" the roughness of wood materials. The green color of leaves and the vibrant flower color will create a beautiful contrast with the dark brown tone of the wooden staircase.
When arranging, housewives should choose a pot size suitable for the width of the steps to avoid obstructing the walkway. Small, low-lying plants such as stone lotus and petunias should be placed on both sides of the steps.
At locations with spacious resting mats, larger potted plants such as tiger's tongue can be used to create accents. Priority should be given to pots made of pottery and sharpened stone to ensure durability when planting outdoor plants.
Installation of lighting system
Light plays an important role in creating visual effects, especially in the evening. For outdoor stairs, installing lights not only helps the space become more shimmering but also ensures safety when moving at night.
Consider installing built-in LEDs under each step or wall lights running along the walkway. Warm yellow light will be an ideal choice to beautify your family's wooden staircase.
Housewives can also impress the home space by wrapping decorative staircase light strings to create interesting highlights for the Lunar New Year.
Paint or tile
Painting in contrasting colors or tiling with patterned tiles on this position will create a unique effect for outdoor stairs. For example, painting in white will help stairs become modern. Conversely, using tiles with many patterns will bring a more classic and artistic beauty.
Handrail or railing decoration
Housewives should also not forget to decorate the armrests or railings. Hanging vine-lined flower baskets or attaching small decorative objects made of wood or metal will help the staircase space become more romantic without spending too much space. This decoration method also helps the staircase look more elegant and lighter.
