9 Best Staircase Landing Ideas for this Tricky Space
Staircase landings often represent somewhat of a tricky spot when it comes to interior design. They are often small enough to very easily clutter up with even the smallest pieces of furniture, but can also come in sizes big enough to feel empty if you don’t do anything with them.
Fortunately, there are no shortage of ideas for what to do with your landing, all you need is a little inspiration, which is exactly what I aim to provide here. So let’s get to it!
What is a Staircase Landing?
Before I get into what to do with your landing, let’s take a moment to clarify what a landing is. A staircase landing is an area of floor that can be at the bottom, top, or part way up a flight of stairs. In the case of a landing that is part way up the stairs, it may be to enable a smooth change of direction, such as 90 degrees to the side, or 180 degrees back on itself.
In the case of top landings, they will usually be the place from which many or all of the upstairs rooms are accessed, and there can often be quite a lot of void space there.
Staircase Landing Ideas
So, about those ideas. Below are nine of my top picks for how to fill that space at the top of your stairs. Of course, not all landings are the same, so you’ll need to disregard some of them as necessary. But even for some of the ideas that aren’t quite right for your landing, you should be able to find inspiration in there!
Gallery Wall
Gallery walls are perhaps one of the most common ideas for a landing, not to mention the rest of the staircase. On top of making the walls look less sparse, personal photos bring an undeniable element of yourself into the space. As far as the interior design goes, a gallery wall is very inexpensive to achieve.
You can repurpose old photo frames if needed, or even get creative and make your own. Of course, you don’t have to use family photos. Your favorite posters or artwork will look just as good up there.
Timber trails developmentSmall Reading Nook
One of the great things about reading is that it is an activity that takes very little space.
Your mind may be off in fantastic and exotic places, but your body needs little more than a comfortable chair. If you have enough space on your staircase landing for a small bookcase and the aforementioned comfy chair, you’d be doing yourself a disservice by not turning it into a cozy little reading nook. If you can position your chair (or small sofa, for that matter) so that it gets plenty of sunlight, even better!
How beautiful is that hanging chair?
Built-in Bookshelves
Perhaps you don’t have space on your landing for a full bookcase and chair to sit and read away those lazy Sunday afternoons, but you still like to read and those books need a home! Landings typically have a lot of wall real estate going free, so it’s a good bet you’ll be able to find a suitable spot to put up a few shelves to rehome your beloved books.

Landings are often home to a window of some kind, and for those of you lucky enough to have a nice, large window on your landing, the possibility of a window seat beckons.
Window seats give you a great space to sit and enjoy the world beyond your windows, and can be built to incorporate storage for a little extra utility. You can even combine your window seat with the reading nook idea.
Office Space
This one may seem a little out there at first, but bear with me. You don’t need a massive amount of space to set up a small office. Really all you need is enough space for a chair and a surface to put your laptop, computer, notepad, or sketchpad on. Anyone who has worked from home for long enough will understand the benefits of separating their work and home life, but not everyone has the space for a dedicated home office. Landing to the rescue!
RTG designsDen
Unlike the landing office space, this one does require a pretty substantial landing, but if there is plenty of space at the top of your stairs, you might consider turning it into a comfortable space to relax. You can think of this option as the reading nook writ large, and with more than just books.
Console Table
For those of us with smaller landings who like the den idea, you can get something close with a nice console table. You might not be able to kick back and relax at a console table, but you can store things there and liven up the space with some nice pictures and ornaments. If there is space, you could even include a small chair or stool and turn your console table into a spot for working at.

I’m getting into big landing territory here, but if you have space for a bit of furniture on your landing, you might consider having a luxurious fireplace fitted, giving you a nice space to relax in.
You may not be able to (or want to) turn your landing into a space that you actively use, but that doesn’t mean that space has to go to waste. An armoire will allow you to turn some of that space into useful storage, and look great while it does so.
There is no shortage of creative designs you can incorporate into your landing and you may have noticed that many of the ideas I shared here today can be mixed and matched.
In other words, it is possible to create something truly your own, that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Always remember to think about what you actually want from the space. There is no sense wasting your landing on a reading nook if you hardly ever read books! Most of all, be practical. If you have a small landing, don’t make it almost unusable by stuffing a huge desk in there.
Happy curating!

Stair Landing Ideas
Design
Designers and homeowners often forget to include stair landing ideas in their home decorating and design plans. A staircase landing is usually empty, with all the focus on the bedrooms and other living spaces.
Staircase landings partway up a staircase can sometimes feel too small to bother decorating to designing. But staircase landings offer plenty of potential for decor that make them stylish and individual, rather than boring areas you merely pass through on your way upstairs. Staircase landings can be elegant, personalized and, yes even useful! Here, we bring you stair landing ideas you can use to gain inspiration for your own home.

What is a Staircase Landing?
Via Swerdloff PropertiesLandings in a staircase are the flat floor levels or platforms typically located where the direction of stairs changes.
Stairs with landings have many advantages over straight stairs without landings.
- Less Space – A staircase with a landing takes up much less space than a straight staircase.
- Safer – Staircases that have landings are much safer than those without landings as a fall down half the stairs is much better than a fall down the entire flight of stairs.
- Breaks – Stair landings allow for short breaks while climbing your stairs.
- Decorations – Landings are a great space to add some decor and personalization to your home.
Staircase Landing Ideas
Check out below for some of my favorite staircase landing ideas.
Staircase Landing Idea – Board and Batten
Via Citizen Design CoA staircase landing with a board and batten wall treatment can add a touch of rustic charm to your home. This classic technique is simple yet elegant and can be customized to fit practically any decorating style. Board and batten can be used to introduce textures and patterns in an area that typically is under decorated.
Board and batten makes for an inexpensive DIY decor option as well if you are up for the task. Check out my previous post on Board and Batten Ideas for additional inspiration.
Gallery Wall on a Staircase Landing
Via Making Home BaseWhy not use the wall space on a stair landing as an opportunity to add a gallery wall? A staircase landing is a great place to display your favorite artwork or family photos. Gallery walls are a creative way to highlight your favorite pictures and also help break up the monotony of empty, open wall space. If you choose to place a gallery wall on your staircase landing be sure to click over to my post on how to Plan and Decorate a Staircase Gallery Wall to get more inspiration and tips for hanging your favorite family photos or pieces of art on your staircase landing.
Add a Bookcase to Your Stair Landing
Via Michael Rex ArchitectsIf your family is anything like mine then you are overflowing with books. Instead of donating them after you read them one time why not hang onto your favorites by adding bookcases to your high ceiling stair landing.
Bookcases are great for landings, they can add additional storage in an unexpected location and also allow you to display those knickknacks on shelves.
Console Table On a Stair Landing
Via South Shore DecoratorsA console table is another great way to add additional storage to your stair landing. Console tables are a classic decorating piece that can be used in a wide range of styles and can help you make the most out of your space. Try using a console table on your staircase landing as extra storage for books, knickknacks or other items. Or use it as a place to display family photos or favorite pieces of artwork. Try and coordinate your console table with your staircase treads and risers for a completely unified look.
Stair Landing Decor: Planters
Via Shannon MaloneAnother staircase landing decor idea that I have personally used is to add some greenery to your stair landing decor with live plants in planters. If you don’t have a green thumb you could use faux plants too.
What I like best about using planters is that there is typically lots of unused space on your stair landing and its a great way to incorporate some greenery into your home. Using plants on your stair landing also allows you to get creative with your planters. You can use colorful planters to tie in the rest of your home decor with your staircase landing or you can go loud and bold if your staircase landing is unseen from the downstairs living spaces.
Staircase Landing Seating Area
Via Jay Cox ArchitectsWant to take staircase landing decorating ideas to the next level? Creating a seating area on your staircase landing is one of my favorite ways to elevate the look of this overlooked area. You can use any type of seating that fits your style and home decor. Staircase landings are an ideal place for a small space reading nook. Adding a seating area to your staircase landing also allows you to incorporate other staircase landing decor ideas into your landing area design.
Staircase Landing Ideas: Include a Chandelier
tVia Ziman DevelopmentA staircase landing is a great place to add some more light and also can be used to introduce some flare.
So why not consider adding a chandelier as part of your staircase landing decor? Chandeliers are always in style and go great with just about any home decor style from coastal to farmhouse. Having a chandelier on your staircase landing adds great accent lighting to any home. Chandeliers can always be changed if your tastes or decor style change. Adding a chandelier may not be an option or at least not budget friendly if you don’t already have the electrical connections on your stair landing for a chandelier. Adding a lamp to your staircase landing will give you a lot of the same benefits for much cheaper then installing a chandelier.
One other thing to consider when decorating your staircase landing is to ensure that the landing matches your Stair Risers and Stair Treads. Thats important because you want all three to combine and create a cohesive look.
Via Casa Wasy Interior DesignStair Landing Ideas Conclusion
In closing, with so many options for stair landing decor, there is no excuse not to utilize this often overlooked space.
Whether you are looking for stylish storage, additional greenery, or a cozy seating area, there is sure to be a staircase landing decor idea that works for your home. So what are you waiting for? Start experimenting with these stair landing ideas today!

desire coincides with your capabilities, then this article will help you optimally fulfill this desire and learn some of its aspects.
One of them is the issue of staircase design, because today it is rare that a country house does not have one. And of course, this staircase should correspond to the modern style, that is, the Art Nouveau style.
So, let's consider what a staircase should be in a house with an interior in modern style, because, as you know, everything in the house should be subordinated to a single chosen style.
Types and design features of stairs
First of all, let's get acquainted with the types of stairs, their design features, because this information will be needed when designing your home. Its layout and, of course, your taste will influence the choice of staircase design. There are the following types of internal stairs:
- Straight
- Screw
Used in fairly large houses, where the area allows you to calmly position the stairs.
This type of stairs is divided into one-flight and two-flight construction.
The first design does not require clarification, and according to the second one, we can say that in this case the staircase is located at an angle, along the two walls that form this angle.
Two-flight staircase has two types of transition between flights:
- With a transition platform - the easiest way to connect flights
- With winder steps, a very original and beautiful look. In addition, in this case, the ascent and descent of such a ladder is much easier and more convenient, since the height of the steps in it is less than when using the platform.
Perfectly fit into the interior of small areas, as their design does not take up a serious area in the room. For a spiral staircase, 1-1.5 square meters is enough.
But this view, despite the originality of its execution, is still not so convenient to use: usually their width does not allow bulky objects, such as furniture, to be lifted to the second floor, and walking on it requires some skill, especially when moving quickly .
And yet, spiral staircases will allow you to make the interior bold and original.
Art Nouveau Staircase Design
Now, since you want to have a Art Nouveau house, let's take a look at how a staircase in this style differs from stairs in other styles.
Let's note right away that Art Nouveau style stairs are distinguished, first of all, by their concise, strictly geometric shapes and minimalism in decor. By and large, almost the entire decor of the stairs lies in the originality of its design and the materials used. Of the materials, wood and metal are most often used, extremely rarely, stone. The tree is used strong species, as the stairs must be durable and wear-resistant. A wooden staircase gives warmth to the room, for which wood is preferred when choosing a material.
A metal staircase does not fit into any interior, but modern is a style for it, since some coldness of its interior will be perfectly combined with metal staircase structures.
But this type is not as popular as wood: you must admit that walking on cold metal is not the best feeling.
As mentioned above that, as such, the design of style stairs lies in their design, and one of the most popular design elements is the railing.
Railings can be made of wood, metal, and even glass, but in Art Nouveau style, railings are often made of metal.
Sometimes a staircase does not have a railing, which gives it a special charm, though not entirely safe - the absence of a railing can cause dizziness in elderly or people with hypertension. In this case, even a stair railing made of glass will not get rid of trouble.
If the landing has free space for installing a coffee table or nightstand, then this is a chance to showcase some item in the Art Nouveau style. It can be anything, even an ordinary chair, but always with a high back.
An art nouveau painting or wall painting would be an excellent decor option.
Despite the fact that Art Nouveau is to some extent an ascetic style, the presence of plants in the house will be an excellent decoration. A staircase with fresh flowers is just what will decorate your country house.
When designing your country house, keep in mind that a staircase located near a large high window will create a feeling of rapid vertical movement, which will give your interior a lot of positive qualities.
Art Nouveau balusters play the same role as in other styles - supporting the handrails of the stairs and ensuring the safety of movement on it. However, their appearance in this style is completely different: the design of the balusters does not have intricate forged or wooden elements.
Balusters strictly adhere to the concept of Art Nouveau style - simplicity, rigor of geometric lines, minimal decor. Baluster shapes are varied. They may look like simple metal or wood uprights, and the frequency of their installation may vary.
A similar feeling is evoked by the staircase, which has steel suspensions (strings) made of stainless steel that support the steps. The suspended staircase is an original design, giving you the impression of its lightness and airiness.
In this design, the strings perform both the functions of decor and the enclosing element of the stairs. In addition, strings can be used to mount handrails.
Types of stair railings in Art Nouveau style
Stair railings in Art Nouveau style are simple and original at the same time. This can be accomplished by the frequent installation of balusters, which is used in many stair designs.
If you decide to minimize the number of balusters, then you will have to fill the gap between them with a fence, the design of which is quite diverse, but always conceptual in style.
In the case of a rare arrangement of balusters, metal strings or gratings stretched between balusters can serve as a fence.
This style is characterized by the use of glass as a flight of stairs. Walking on a ladder with such a fence causes a person who first steps on it to have some stiffness due to a sense of danger. Over time, these feelings disappear, being replaced by enthusiastic ones.
The glass railing is multifunctional: it can be used as a step hanger and as a baluster to support the stair railing. This option is three in one.
The fence can be made in the form of a solid partition made of chipboard or brick wall, which will simultaneously separate the flight of stairs from the room space. A good option is a wooden grate
Hangers can be used as a fence.
Stairs, as an object of increased injury risk, must have good lighting, otherwise injuries cannot be avoided. General lighting is used to provide the required illumination. It can be a chandelier or a suspension in the center of a flight of stairs, but more often it is spotlights built into the ceiling or walls.
Luminaires should be evenly spaced along the length of the stairs, paying particular attention to the beginning and end of the stairs. It's nice to have step lights on the stairs. Usually, LED lighting is made, which will help you not only to secure the movement of the stairs, but also save electricity at night.
The space under the stairs
The space under the stairs is the loss of usable area of the house. But it can be wisely used.
Under the stairs, you can organize a workplace in the form of a small table or bedside table with a small lamp, which will be very useful for doing fleeting work. Here you can put furniture for rest, for storage. The library under the flight of stairs is the best use of this space.
When designing stairs, you should follow some advice from experts:
- It is desirable to have an odd number of steps in a flight of stairs, which makes it convenient for walking, since a person starts and finishes moving up the stairs with the same foot.
- If possible, make a two-flight staircase right-handed with the same number of steps in both flights.
- Winder steps in a narrow place will be completed with a width of 10-13 centimeters, which is important from a practical and psychological point of view.
- The minimum width of the stairs must be 60 centimeters, and the height to the ceiling must be at least 1.8 m. The railing of the stairs is made at a height of 90 centimeters from the tread.
Staircase in the house is not just a device for climbing from one floor to another. The staircase with its platforms, marches, steps, railings and decor is a full member of the interior and should contribute to the surrounding space.
Landings between floors (or the only landing in a two-flight staircase) have some space on which, according to the rules of SNiP, one person should freely fit and be able to take a wide step. Why should this useful area disappear? In this article, we do not discuss interfloor areas in multi-apartment public buildings.
We will talk about your favorite home that you want to decorate in a stylish and modern way.
Tip:
If you have just started laying stairs, consider the size of the platform. It makes sense to make it more than planned. Why? Answers below.
Five examples of great design
In the following examples, we will show you how you can decorate or even furnish your entryway in an original and inexpensive way.
Your personal library
Reading requires good lighting. The best place for this activity is by the window. In this sense, the site can become an ideal library and reading room. In order to turn the site into a cozy corner that beckons to sit here with a book, you need a window. Look at the photo. Pay attention to the near-window sofa, it is also a low window sill. Tossing a couple of pillows on top of it will give you a romantic spot for thoughtful reading. And the library itself is right there, nearby, you just have to lend a hand.
Built-in shelving - very narrow, only the width of a book, will accommodate your favorite prints. And at the same time decorate the flight of stairs. What could be nicer to contemplate while climbing the stairs than the spines of your favorite books and framed photographs! This is a great and functional design.
Photo gallery
As you walk up the stairs, you involuntarily glance up and you see a wonderful selection of photos of your family. The most joyful events froze in the frame of baguettes, selected with taste. And if someone in the family draws, you can arrange a “traveling exhibition” of works on the site.
Take responsibility for the selection of baguettes. If the site is small and the ceilings are low, do not take heavy and wide frames. They "steal" the space. But thin metal or wooden frames can make narrow spans more spacious.
Winter garden
Plants in the house - as if nature continues within your walls. If the site is adjacent to the window, the plants will feel very comfortable.
You can put just one fairly large plant in a decorative vase, or you can “set up a garden” of small plants, but in this case it is better to trust the taste and skill of the designer. If there is no window, but you want flowers, place shade-tolerant plants on the site.
Luxurious delights
Look at the photo above. This is the design of a landing in a respectable private house. The span itself is made of valuable wood, and the platform is like a hall in the palace of a Roman patrician: stone bas-reliefs, marble floor, decorated walls and light pillars (light and music installation). Of course, the design of this interior can no longer be called just a platform, but nevertheless, this is it.
Frescoes and photo wallpapers
In the photo above, you can see the flight of stairs as if in some unusually attractive corner of the garden. Masonry, flowers, green growth, steps made of old stones and graceful arched railings - all this is so real that you want to step on these stone steps and climb them - but where? In fact, this great illusion is a masterfully executed mural in the style of a fresco.
They are pasted on the wall along the span on both sides of the flight of stairs.
You can order any composition that matches the style of your home, and it will no longer be a simple staircase to the second floor, but a work of art, a transition to another reality.
Idea:
Wall murals depicting a window overlooking the sea, a garden, mountains or other beautiful terrain is a wonderful option for staircase decor, especially if the site is rather dark and small. To illuminate the window and give the illusion of sunlight, mount lights in the opposite wall and point them at the "window".

If your country house or apartment has a second floor, then the need for a staircase is an obvious fact.
The only question is this. How to properly equip and design the structure so that the beauty of the stairs is in no way inferior to its practicality, reliability and safety. Well, the fact that you have landed on our page indicates that you are moving in the right direction. Now you can be sure that your staircase in a private house will be the best of the best.
Second floor wooden stairs
With so many different designs available, choosing the one that best suits your interior is not an easy task. After all, here it is necessary to take into account many factors that affect the visual perception of the interior. An important role in obtaining a positive result is played not so much by the form of the structure (although this is very important), but by the correct selection of materials from which it will be made.
In Russia today, wood holds the palm among the most popular types of materials. And absolutely deserved. Indeed, in addition to environmental benefits, solid wood products have a number of other properties and qualities that distinguish it from the general mass.

A staircase in a private house is not only an auxiliary structure that helps to get to the second floor, but also a special element that complements the overall picture of the interior.[3]
When choosing a suitable project, it is important to take into account the parameters of the room itself, whether the staircase will fit in size, and whether it will violate the overall style of the house. Therefore, it is important to approach this issue with all responsibility.

The use of bare metal is of course also acceptable, but not everyone will be pleased to walk on it, especially when the house is cool. Therefore, it is best to use a combined version of the manufacture of a staircase structure, the frame is metal, the steps are wood, glass or artificial marble.
Two types of stairs construction are most often used:
Original staircase with wooden steps

Despite the fact that glass stairs have a design that is not quite familiar to a home, today the popularity of these structures is quite high. Their elegant design will be appropriate for any interior design, and the specially tempered impact-resistant glass from which the steps and railings are made makes the structure absolutely safe for home use.
But there is no limit to the perfection of beauty, and today's manufacturers offer glass stairs, with neon illumination of each step.
In the evening, this spectacle looks truly magical and bewitching.
This method of fastening creates the effect of steps hanging in the air.
Glass partitions look light and do not create visual clutter of space. And with the help of various lighting fixtures and other decorative elements, your staircase can be turned into a real work of art.

there is not enough free space for arranging a conventional mid-flight staircase. The structure consists of steps fixed on the central pillar of the base and a protective fence in the form of railings and handrails of various shapes.
The spiral staircase is incredibly attractive and beautiful. Its smooth lines and curves create the perfect shape to suit most interiors.
It looks especially beautiful in spacious living rooms in Art Nouveau, Provence, Eco and Country styles.

Thanks to its mobility and compactness, you can use the screw almost anywhere. It can be a living room, a nursery, an entrance hall and even a kitchen with a veranda. They are also often installed between the last floor and the attic.
The advantages of a spiral staircase include the following:
- Small size – minimal space requirements;
- Acceptable cost - when compared with a mid-flight staircase, the cost of a spiral staircase is significantly lower;
- The visual effect of increasing the height of the floor, especially relevant for rooms with low ceilings;
- A huge variety of shapes and designs, allowing you to create a unique interior in your home.
