Decorating for Christmas can transform every corner of your home, including spaces that often get overlooked. I think the staircase offers a unique chance to add warmth and charm during the holiday season.
The right decorations can turn your staircase into a beautiful centerpiece that enhances your home’s festive spirit.
Whether you lean toward simple touches or want to go all out, there are so many ways to make this area feel special.

I like to weave a soft champagne-colored ribbon through snowy white garlands for a clean, elegant look.
