The stairs in a duplex are an element that should be incorporated into the decor. Their design should be as practical as possible; furthermore, they should, of course, fit into the existing space.
Whether or not it’s visible from any room in your home, whether it’s made of metal, wood, or stone… whatever the case may be, you need to take it into account so you can decorate the rest of your home to complement it.
Our staircase really adds to the style, sofollow these tips!
What kinds of stairs are there?
- Single-flight staircases: These are staircases with no turns and steps that are usually higher than normal. Generally, this type of staircase takes up quite a bit of space.
- L-shaped staircases: These are staircases divided into two sections.
- Spiral staircases: These are ideal for homes with limited space. They’re very eye-catching, but perhaps less comfortable.
Exposed Stairs
After reading this, you’ll probably think that this is a type of staircase that will always be on display. And of course it is, but we should try to make it blend in as much as possible with the decor of our home.
In this case, it is part of a walk-through area that can blend seamlessly into the surroundings, whether because of its location or its design.
Use a handrail
Handrails are not required, but they are recommended. They help ensure safety and provide support if we stumble. In addition, they can be a very decorative element thanks to their material and design: steel, glass, vertical slats…
There are so many possibilities that you won’t even notice you have a railing.
Same color as the floor
What if you decorated the staircase with the same flooring as the rest of your house? It will create a sense of depth, since you’re not breaking up the decor, and it also adds a touch of minimalism and simplicity.
Block Stairs
Since we understand that your stairs are already pre-designed, you can customize them by adding blocks or cabinets to serve as storage.
Camouflaged Staircase
If you have the chance, try to hide the staircase. We absolutely love this option! How about hiding it behind a bookshelf? Or behind a vertical garden? These designs are a great way to ensure privacy while also saving space.
Combine different colors and materials
If your staircase is dark in color, try pairing it with light-colored walls or furniture and glass accents. It will become one of the focal points of your decor.
Decorate the walls and light the room properly
There are many ways to decorate walls. Whether it’s with wallpaper, painting them a different color than the rest of the house, decorating with paintings, photographs, or other objects, etc.
And, in addition to the decor, it’s also essential to light it properly.
If the staircase doesn’t have enough natural light, you can enhance the space with designer lamps hanging from the ceiling or spotlights under the steps.
