I suggest a black decal(s).

really appreciate the suggestions. I’m not a huge fan of decals or wallpaper unfortunately. what about art work ? A mini gallery? Or a big mirror? Would that be something that would look good? And if so which walls ?

Extra Large piece of artwork on the landing

mirror?

I like large artwork on the landing. You can do some family photos once you get close to your own room(s). No wallpaper or little bits.

Think about views you like to have on the way up or down and pick a wall or two accordingly. White space is what makes the other stuff stand out.

I have a large vertical piece of artwork on my landing.

Your staircase would be perfect for an eclectic gallery:

Hi Andie B, I have a stairwell similar to yours and we had lots of art to hang on the walls. Ours is a combination of our kids’ framed pieces, some good things, and just some things we love. In order to hang the art, my husband bought a Li’l Giant ladder (I think it’s called that) which allowed him to securely place the ladder’s legs at different heights, depending on where he was hanging pieces. It was a lot of work, and he was nervous, but we love the result. I hope you get an idea from this photo. This stairway comes upstairs to my office.

Ya that looks great N Levine

I like Karen Rose's big artwork right as you walk up the first section of staircase. It depends on whether you want one, nice impact piece or if you think you would like the busier, gallery look. I think this is a nice space for a gallery of family photos, too.

What about some wall plants on the bottom of the stairway wall? That wall gets some indirect light throughout the day. Could do succulents or something. Thoughts?
