Add An Elegant Metal Railing
Curved stairs are a sleek and elegant addition to any home, making a seamless transition between one floor and another. A tip to create a more breathtaking design for your curved staircase is to add a metal railing. Incorporating the industrial metal look with the stairway’s curved design will create the perfect balance of modern and chic.

Hang Spliced Photos With Offset
Curved stairs aren’t the easiest to decorate. But there are some ways to make good use of the space. One great idea is a set of long-aligned paintings or a spliced photo. Each one would be set off by the height difference.

Install A Stair Lift
A practical design idea for any homeowner with accessibility challenges from curved stairs would be to install a stair lift. Whether the staircase is indoors or outdoors, stair lift models are versatile enough to be installed without construction and enable homeowners to enjoy all areas in their home. Plus, stair lifts can fold out of the way when not in use, which creates a safe passageway for people walking up or down a curved staircase. If a homeowner has or expects any challenges with accessibility due to a curved staircase, a stair lift may be a great addition to a home.

Make The Space Functional
Turn the curved space into a usable one with a comfy chair, bookcase, and reading light. This creates a cozy reading nook. A bold suggestion for modern homeowners would be to add a mural. The curved wall is the perfect space to create a stunning feature wall. Modern mural wallpapers are perfect for this because you can custom order the exact size of your wall for a custom look.

Make It The Focal Point Of The Room
Showcase the railings by using a different tone than the wood stairs and the baseboards. Use a small accent table in the middle of the wall of the stairs and use a vase of flowers or a few family photos on the table to pull the eyes of any visitor right to the staircase. A grand staircase is the focal point of a great many expensive houses and can take a more simple home and give it grace and elegance just by focusing on the stairs.

Decide The Tone And Practicality
Decide what you want your staircase to do, both practically and tonally. Do you want to use the back wall to hold pictures? Or add additional lighting? Would you like to up the extravagance or keep it understated? If the staircase is the statement piece of your home, you may want to go bold with wallpaper, tile, or a custom mural on the back wall. Or, to blend the staircase with the rest of the home, you may just add a splash of corresponding paint and an item of interest to the niche area at the bottom. Identifying what your needs for the staircase are will greatly affect the design you choose.
