Make a Statement With Your Staircase

Hallways and staircases are often overlooked when it comes to home decor, despite being some of the most frequently used spaces. In many homes, the staircase is one of the first things guests see, setting the tone for the rest of your interior. These spaces deserve to be as beautiful and thoughtfully styled as the rest of your home.

But don’t worry, there are plenty of simple yet stylish ways to inject personality into these transition spaces, so they can be reflective of your unique design style. Here are our top ideas to inspire your staircase makeover.

Paint and Wallpaper

Paint and wallpaper are simple yet impactful ways to refresh your stairway. A new coat of paint on the walls can instantly brighten the space, or for a creative twist, consider painting the steps themselves. Wallpaper, though it may seem daunting, has historically been very popular in interior design due to its artistry and versatility, offering a beautiful way to showcase your personal style. Whether you opt for soft neutrals or bold patterns, paint and wallpaper open up endless possibilities to add character and charm. With just a few changes, these elements can completely transform your hallway, making it a standout feature in your home.

Moulding and Panelling

A hallway or staircase is the perfect place to explore the timeless charm of moulding and panelling. These classic, vintage-inspired features add quiet luxury, elegance, and depth to your space, making them a beloved choice in interior design. Moulding and panelling also offer the chance to get creative with paint and wallpaper, allowing you to play with colour, pattern, and texture to make your staircase a standout feature.

Stair Rods

Stair rods are the perfect finishing touch for a carpet runner, giving your staircase a sophisticated, elegant look. A wide range of finishes such as brass, chrome, black metal, and more, means you can ensure they complement your design style. These small finishings can make your staircase feel refined and complete, transforming it into a standout feature in your home.

Carpet Runners

A carpet runner is a brilliant way to give your staircase a fresh new look. It adds warmth and softness, perfect for tying your hallway together. A variety of colours and patterns allow you to bring your style and personality into what’s often an overlooked space. This simple update has a big impact, making your stairs look curated and complete.

Lighting

Lighting is always a key element in interior design, and your staircase is no exception. A well-chosen lampshade can soften harsh overhead light, creating a more welcoming atmosphere. For an elegant look, find wall sconces that compliment the space and add a warm glow. If you’re after a more modern, sleek option, step lighting is subtle and sophisticated. Thoughtfully chosen and placed lighting can truly transform your staircase.

Staircase Spindles

Changing the spindles on your staircase is a simple yet impactful way to make the space feel more unique and aligned with your interior style. This DIY project is often easier than you might think and can completely transform the look of your stairs. From modern metal spindles to more traditional wooden designs, swapping them out allows you to customise the space and create a staircase that feels personal and well-suited to your home’s aesthetic.

Finishing Touches

In interior design, it’s always the small details that pull a space together. Simple changes like swapping out your light switch cover plates or upgrading door threshold strips can instantly elevate your hallway or staircase. These details are the most fun part, adding personal touches and charm. Utilise the wall space to display framed photos, artwork, or plants to bring warmth and personality into the area.
