Keep it inexpensive by buying cheap frames and hanging them with ribbons. 7. Decorate the bottom of the handrail Facebook Instead of decorating the top of the staircase, try decorating the bottom of the handrail. This can be useful if you have people in your home or visitors who need access to the entire staircase handrail to get up and down the stairs. 8.
