Decorating a staircase wall – 5 ideas that you need to try out!

The first thing to consider is the size of the interior. If the staircase is located in a spacious, well-lit room, you can go all out and opt for a dark wall mural with an expressive design. However, if the interior is more cosy, it’s a better idea to choose lighter, more subtle patterns that are sure to complete the décor without overwhelming it with too many visuals. There are countless places to search for inspiration if you’re not sure what to do with a staircase wall. Our designs and motifs are inspired by everything from large bustling cities to stunning natural views to abandoned buildings full of character – the more unique, the better!

Ideas for a staircase wall in the style of urban jungle

Great interior design is all about realising the full potential of an interior by using its every square metre. For example, some people decide to create a small workspace under a modern, transparent staircase in their living room. This idea is especially relevant, since we want to show you how to decorate unused surfaces both over and under the stairs. You can arrange the space to create perfect conditions for both work and relaxation. Which decorative motif should you choose here? We recommend natural designs featuring deep greens. This colour scheme is very eye-pleasing and it will introduce a touch of nature into your home. It’s especially perfect for people who live in large cities. And if you combine this staircase wall design with modern decorations in other parts of the room, you’ll end up with a stylish and fashionable urban jungle décor. The concrete desert outside your window won’t seem that grey and dreary when you have your private green jungle at home.

Bird designs – let your staircase wall sprout wings

Let’s now turn to a different type of nature-inspired design that can help you conjure up a truly heavenly atmosphere in your interiors. When deciding what to do with a staircase wall, don’t be afraid to go for more daring options, since they often guarantee the most spectacular effects. And since we’ve already discussed designs featuring tropical vegetation, let’s go a step further and take a look at exotic animals. We’ve mentioned at the beginning that it’s best to avoid dark colours and garish designs in cosy interiors, because smaller spaces are easy to overdecorate. If you’re looking for something that’s both effective and minimalistic, there are two options to consider.

• Exotic – a black-and-white drawing depicting parrots sitting on tropical tree branches will be a perfect choice for a carefree, Boho-style interior. You can enhance the look of this decoration by placing a bunch of potted plants on the floor in front of the wall. The image of exotic birds will look gorgeous next to Swiss cheese plants and ivy climbing up the bannister.

• Retro – for eco interiors based on minimalistic designs we have a gorgeous, antique drawing of a heron with realistic plumage and details. The bird’s silhouette looking over a minimalistic interior can become the defining feature of the décor. Combine it with subtle colours and natural materials, such as wood, wicker or linen for a truly marvellous effect.

Inspirations for a staircase wall with giant metropolises 

There are many people who love living in big cities. They feel comfortable around glass skyscrapers, hustle and bustle of streets that never sleep and colourful neon lights. If you’re a fan of modern design, you’ll definitely enjoy our urban ideas for decorating a staircase wall. Instead of a classic, colourful photograph with a panoramic view, we recommend a black-and-white graphic depicting an ocean of skyscrapers. This dynamic pattern can liven up any room, even if your décor is entirely based on whites and greys. Remember however that this design will quickly dominate the interior, so it’s best to avoid other eye-catching decorative accents and let the skyscrapers play the first fiddle. Another important advantage of this pattern is that the perspective creates an illusion of depth. What follows, it will optically enlarge your room and make it seem more spacious.

Decorating a staircase wall with a new approach to brick

The industrial style adopts the aesthetic of abandoned factory buildings. It first became popular after people started converting these unused spaces into flats. We’ve hinted at the beginning of this article that we’ve found inspiration in forgotten buildings. If you live in a loft flat and you want to make it look more interesting, you should consider using a brick pattern by the stairs. Raw materials such as architectural concrete, steel or our favourite brick are all perfect choices for this type of interior. However, a classic red brick is just one of many available options. You can also make things more unique by opting for a white colour scheme. This design will also provide an ideal background to hang additional decorations, such as colourful photos or posters. We recommend combining the industrial style with retro decorations. Although the two ideas seem contrary to each other, they actually work together very well and will allow you to conjure up a wonderfully eclectic living room décor.
