Ombre

I have had a chance to feature several ombre projects for the home here on All Women Stalk but this particular pink** staircase makeover** may be my ultimate favorite. Why? Because I love the colors and they look truly lovely with the white walls.
Tutorial
This staircase makeover is an example of an ombre color scheme, which is a gradual blending of one color hue to another. The staircase in the picture features a blend of pink hues, which creates an eye-catching effect when paired with the white walls. The tutorial linked in the article provides step-by-step instructions on how to create a similar ombre staircase makeover.
