How Decorative Stair Risers and Beams Enhanced This One Room Challenge Project

Rebecca Propes with @rebeccadiy was a Featured Designer for the Fall One Room Challenge, and in those 8 short weeks, she decided to take on her stairway and entryway for this challenge. Using a lot of color and designs, her bright and fun style continued to shine through in her revealed space.

The Plan

Rebecca’s entryway was a classic entryway with gray walls and laminate floors, but it did not match her home’s bright aesthetic. Covering it up with some pink paint and gold decor for a while, it still never really fit right and she always believed that was just a quick fix. That is why she decided to take it to a whole other level and chose to completely remodel that space and her staircase for the One Room Challenge.

Products Used

Her plan quickly surfaced as she browsed through some inspiration photos and stumbled across our Decorative Stair Risers. These risers were the perfect solution to giving her staircase the quick refresh it needed.

After all of her design decisions were finalized, she noticed that she left out one wall in the design; the ceiling. Wanting to create a ceiling that matched the rest of the space, she chose to include Ambrosia Maple Beams in her entryway and the space quickly came together.

The Finished Space

Fast forward to the One Room Challenge reveal day, and Rebecca’s entryway was ready to go. Complete with bright colors, patterns, and our Ambrosia Maple Beams, this space now has a life of its own and stands out in an amazing way. It is the first impression guests see when visiting her home, and she could not be more proud of how the newly designed space ties into the rest of her home.

“I mean…I had to paint the railing PINK but the decorative stair risers from Ornamental and Well Woven Leopard Runner are for sure having their moment on the stairs.

“I love the new satin brass entry hardware from Emtek followed by the perfect coral pink & brass Leigh Mitzi Lanterns placed in-between Ornamental Ambrosia Maple Faux Beams.”
