How do I make basement steps look good on a budget?

We have just builder grade basement steps. We can't afford expensive treds, how can I paint them or finish them to make them looked good?

You could paint them in an ombre sort of design by adding a bit more white paint for each step. Or you could stencil them with bold colors. Here are some other ideas: https://www.hometalk.com/search/posts?filter=stairs
For now you can prime them and then paint them with a floor enamel so that they will wear well. You can tint your primer the same color ad your finish cost to make it cover better.
Here is what other Hometalkers have done!

I do to and this is going to be my next project! I am going to simply paint the steps then seal with a durable floor sealer so they last. I am going to use small stair pads that can be purchased at Home Depot to add to the center of the stairs. I know this easy upgrade will make them soooo much better! Here's to our new project in the new year!
