Whether you want to optimize your staircase landing or adorn this area. it's important to identify the arrangement that suits you best.
Below, you'll discover several creative ways to decorate landings of all types, demonstrating that whether you choose a leaning mirror, bench, table, or something entirely different, the possibilities are endless.
Nice -n- Neutral
If you're drawn to neutrals and minimalist styles in your home, keep your stairway landing simple. Here, an artful pot adds some texture to the landing without taking up much space.
Narrow Space
A narrow planter and bench fit perfectly in this landing while still allowing for a wide passageway. You want to ensure that the furniture or accent pieces you choose for the landing won't get in the way of foot traffic, particularly if you have an active household.
Plant Lovers
Plants are a great item if you're looking to add a bit of life and energy to the landing. However, if your landing doesn't receive much natural light, you may want to opt for a realistic-looking faux option instead of a living plant.
Dress up your faux tree by placing it in a cute basket, as seen here. This wicker style adds some farmhouse flair to the landing.
Architectural Table
A two-tiered table provides double the storage in a small space without leaving a large footprint. This antique-looking piece is full of charm and character.
Bench It
A small bench is never a bad idea—you can sit there and lace up your shoes before heading downstairs or cozy up to your favorite book. It also serves as a helpful surface for setting down purses and backpacks upon returning home each evening.
The type of bench you select for your landing is entirely up to you. With so many options, there's a pick for every aesthetic. This wooden bench actually doubles as a plant stand and adds a bit of industrial style to the landing.
If you do prefer to be seated upright, opt for a storage bench that does it all—this one contains three cubbies that are the perfect size for storage bins. Decorate the bench with any throw pillows to add some warmth to the space.
Mirror Magic
Placing a full-length mirror on the landing makes it easy to double-check your outfit before you rush downstairs and out the door. Mirrors also make spaces appear larger and brighter, so such a piece will definitely serve a functional purpose in your landing.
If a full-length mirror just isn't feasible, hang an oversized wall mirror in your landing to serve a similar purpose. There are so many different shapes and sizes to choose from.
Basket Case
You can never have enough storage solutions around the house. A lidded woven basket is a great place to tuck away outerwear, slippers, scarves, and more in the landing to ensure there's no clutter.
A storage basket like this one is also a suitable choice for the landing, given that it fits right in with the cottage core aesthetic. The landing isn't a place in which to display see-through storage bins; those will only result in a cluttered appearance.
Pedestal Power
Don't underestimate the power of a pedestal. This one adds a bit of European style to the landing and doubles as a stand for a beautiful fluted vase. Fill it with your weekly flowers to elevate the corner.
Console Command Center
A narrow console table can serve as a valuable command center in the landing if you have the room. Tuck baskets underneath it and use them for blankets or magazines. Add fresh decor.
Room To Relax
Turn a nook of your landing into a soothing place to sit down and collect yourself before starting the day by adorning it with a petite accent chair and a pretty plant. You can also bring in a pop of color to make the nook stand out more.
Who wouldn't want to curl up and take a breather in this soft white chair positioned in the landing? If you're in need of a reading spot outside of the living room or bedroom, this could be your solution.
If you prefer something even more cozy, opt for a setup like this one, where a colorful accent chair is tucked nicely under the stairway.
You can make yourself at home on the floor of the landing, too—all you'll need are some oversized cushions or a stack of throw pillows, and you're free to lounge around.
Happy landings to you!
