Stylish and contemporary staircase decorating ideas include statement lighting design<\/a>, whether that be chandeliers up above, wall scones, or lantern features on the stairs themselves. It’s also easy to see why – a chic fixture can update a space just by its look – not to mention adding extra light, shadow, and drama. However, keep in mind when adding decor to the stairs, there should still be plenty of room for foot traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to create a personal touch, the staircase is the perfect place to do so. It provides a space to continue the storytelling you started at the entrance hall. Along with adding personal touches through accessories, you can also elevate your design scheme with a unique piece of artwork. Keep the statement item at eye level to be visible for everyone approaching the stairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The walls of a stairway provide the perfect blank canvas to display some of your favorite wall decor. On the other hand, you can create a stunning feature wall that’ll also be sure to steal the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adding a gallery wall<\/a> to your staircase is a great way to add style and put together different elements of your design scheme at once. Depending on the rest of the interior design, your stairway wall decor can be modern, abstract, eclectic, or traditional. Alternatively, you can play and mix the styles, but keep at least one element, such as frame style, in common to all pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Library Staircase Wall Decorating Ideas<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This staircase decorating idea is excellent for everyone looking to add more storage and display space to their home. In other words, it will do both jobs at once without using up too much floor area. Add a couple of extended wall shelves along the staircase, or set a small library under it. You can even get crafty and think outside the box when it comes to what you store there – such as displaying vinyl records, books, or collectibles.<\/p>\n\n\n
