In most of the houses, the first thing that one sees after entering through the door is a staircase. And yet this is that part of the house which is left unattended while we go about decorating our kitchen, bedrooms, living lounge, dining rooms, etc.
However, this should not be the case especially when it is the first greeting site in most houses. But, we also understand that finding ideas for decorating your staircase can be a daunting task.
Therefore we have gathered a few tips and recommendations that can help you a lot in giving your staircase a lovely look.
Paint it dark
If you have been against painting your staircase dark just because it would give a gloomy look or it will make surrounding space appear narrow, then you must think twice.
Because painting your staircase dark can be one of the best ways to give a bold and eccentric look. However, you can offset the too much dark appearance with light painted walls.
A nice art gallery
Everyone or most people have an art collection in their houses, either small or large. Gather those pieces from around the house and place it on the wall beside the stairway.
This literally requires no such investment but if you are willing to do some shopping then it is even better!
A corner decor piece
Why leave the corner of the L-shaped staircase empty when you are decorating its surrounding? Add a nice and classy looking vase to the corner and give this place a cool look.
You can also place a big planter in the corner to give it more of a refreshing look.
Adorn the stairway risers
People usually think that stairways risers, the vertical space between two steps, is not that much important for decoration. But, this is not the case.
Add nice artwork to that place or embellish it with short quotes written in classic fonts, and see the difference yourself.
