55+ Best Staircase Ideas to Step Up Your Home Decorating Game
Your stairs will be a step above the rest.
Annie Schlechter
So, you've decided to renovate your home. Great! You probably have plenty of thoughts from kitchen décor ideas to bedroom decorating ideas, but there's a smaller space you're probably overlooking within all your design plans: the staircase. For many houses, the staircase is one of the first things you see when you enter your home, so you want to make sure it's beautiful to look at. These staircase ideas will fill you with inspiration, from inspiration for painted floors to expert tricks for hanging pictures. No matter what your style is, there's a plan on this list that's perfect for your preferences and your budget.
For instance, while there are plenty of farmhouse decor ideas, you can certainly find tons of modern inspiration here as well. One of the greatest parts about stair decorations is how a few simple additions can go a long way. Just adding a few paintings or other adornments can completely transform your staircase. Of course, you could go big and completely change the wallpaper (try removable wallpaper for a less permanent fix) or paint color for a bigger difference that will make a major impact. It's all up to you how you decide to implement these creative staircase ideas.
