Decoration of the right side of the stairs

First of all, you need to decide on common style your home and think about how the decorations of the stairs will be combined with the theme holiday decor your house.

Balls are everywhere

Ideas for the New Year are not limited only to the capabilities of the needlewoman. Use themed toys, sparkles, decorations of industrial production for room decoration.

They are different colors, sizes, shiny, matt, with a rough surface, made of different materials, expensive, cheap, vintage, modern, etc. A variant of the idea is to hang them on strings from the ceiling, fix windows in the opening in the kitchen and in the living room.

Traditionally, about a week before the celebration of the New Year, it is customary to decorate the house with tinsel, garlands, Christmas balls, snowflakes and other suitable elements. At the same time, the decor should affect almost all objects present: furniture, windows, festive table, doors, stairs (of course, if there is one in the house). Therefore, if your house has a staircase leading to the second floor or attic, then today's review will be of interest to you, because in it we are going to tell you how to decorate the stairs for the New Year.

How can you decorate the stairs for the New Year. In order for the stair railings to change significantly, the following can be used for their decor: Tinsel; Christmas decorations, in particular balls; Spruce branches (natural or artificial); bows; Snowflakes; Festive wreaths; Wide ribbons; Artificial Poinsettia Flowers; dry branches; Socks for gifts; Knitted garlands; Bells, etc.

New Year's decor stairs with spruce branches. This type of decor for stair railings is the most popular, and this is understandable, because spruce branches look very impressive. Such branches can be artificial, you can hide them in boxes after the holidays, and take them out again next year, also spruce branches can be natural, they can be purchased from merchants of Christmas trees and pines (branches break off from trees during transportation) or even ask for them for free. So, we have branches, we measure the length of the railing with a tape measure, lay out a path of spruce branches on the floor, and tie them together with fishing line or thread, put the resulting garland on the stair railing and in some metas we tie it with wire, fishing line or ribbons.

Decoration of the stairs for the New Year with festive wreaths. It’s actually very easy to make a festive wreath (details in this review), cut out a ring from cardboard, glue it with a hot gun fir branches, on top of which we lay out large decorative beads and also glue them. Then we tie at the top of the wreath satin ribbon, which we throw over the stair railing, tying a spectacular bow on top. To make the composition look harmonious, it is better to concentrate no more than three New Year's wreaths along the length of the stairs.

Staircase decor Christmas socks or boots. TO New Year's boot we sew a ribbon suspension, which we then tie on the stair railing. You can put cones, acorns, acrylic snowflakes, candies, etc. into a boot or sock.

Composition of dry twigs. On the floor we lay out several compositions identical to each other based on dry branches (select branches that are straight, not branched). So, we lay the first dry branch, we lay several spruce branches around it, as well as a branch with bright red berries of lingonberries or hawthorn, we tie the composition with a fishing line with strung Christmas balls. Compositions should be tied to the railing with ribbons tied in the form of bows.

Decor of the New Year stairs with bows. Bows can be immediately tied around the railing, or pre-formed from beautiful wide belts, and only then tie on the railing. Bows can serve as an independent decor, or act as complementary elements, for example, they will help transform spruce garlands or decor with Christmas balls.

Decoration of the stairs for the New Year with Christmas balls. Christmas balls in home decor can be used everywhere, they can decorate not only Christmas tree, as well as windows, doors, chandeliers and, of course, railings. The essence of the decor is simple, the balls must be strung on long pieces of fishing line and tied to the railing. The more balls will be used, the more impressive the whole composition will look.

The presence of a staircase in the interior of a two-story house improves the aesthetic quality and functionality of the space in which it is located. The structure is not only an important structural element connecting two floors, but also a decorative element of the interior. Modern in-house buildings are represented not only by traditional mid-flight structures, but also, depending on the method of fastening the steps, they can acquire a very different configuration.

In addition to the shape and material of manufacture, its appearance is influenced by decor, which can be used for occasions. celebratory event or be an integral part of the staircase structure and the space around it.

Modern

For a minimalist interior, you can use the fastening of steps on the bolts, which will create the illusion of weightlessness of the structure. To achieve a more spectacular perception, such a staircase may not have railings. Screw types look no less expressive in the interior, which can have both classic look and ultra-modern.

How to decorate the space of the hallway with stairs

A spacious entrance hall or hall in a country house is the first room that a person from the street enters. The first impression of the house is created precisely from the perception of this space, so its design should be approached with all responsibility. The staircase in the hallway must also be framed and decorated with great care.

in the spacious hall of a country house

The entrance hall is a connecting link between the rooms on the first floor, and the structure connects the rooms vertically.

Therefore, when designing a hallway, the following must be considered:

1. The color scheme should be the same, or have harmoniously combined shades;

Despite the large construction area, the design looks easy and unobtrusive in the interior of the living room.

Harmonious design

1. It is important to observe not only the combination of design and furniture in the hallway in terms of style, but also their configuration. Helical, spiral, with smooth curves, should be complemented by furniture of similar shapes.
