Home Decor 911


HELPPPP!!! We have an awkward stair case!

I have no idea where to even begin....paint? Artwork? Wallpaper?






 Along with all the awkward angles and half enclosed/half open area, we have a large ledge.

I really don't want to just clutter it with picture frames and knick knacks though.


I started experimenting with picture placement using construction paper but nothing is appealing to us.



Anyone else have an awkward staircase??

SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOME!

  2. I think wallpaper would be amazing!
    Maybe some eclectic wall sconces?

    And a bold decorative mirror on the upper right side (when you are walking up the stairs.. photo#@).

  3. i like the second to last picture...you could put up wedding pictures or something like that. A long mirror would look good as well i think. or a quote that is really special to you?

    1. Good thinking! Wedding pictures up the railing would look nice!

  4. Wow, that is awkward! A wide-striped (vertical) wall color would be nice. Like 8 inches of dark grey then 6 inches of light grey up the whole staircase on either side. Then pictures in black frames.

  7. plants/foliage on the ledge! big potted ferns or something of the sort would be nice.
    i like how you have the rising 'pictures' as well on the wall ascending.
