Stylistic direction when decorating a hallway with a staircase
This attractive staircase will not leave your guests unnoticed.
Any staircase can be made special, attractive and extremely interesting for all inhabitants of the house. There are several decorating styles that a person should choose based on the overall design of the room.
Classic
As for the classic style, it will be preferable in rooms where calm pastel colors are used. Before you start designing a staircase in a classic style, you need to be prepared to spend money and use only natural materials. In some cases this may not be possible.

In the classics, only high-quality and reliable materials are used. Most often this is natural wood of expensive species. However, in addition to trees, natural stones such as granite and marble can also be used. The color scheme should be natural, without too bright colors.

This direction is characterized by restraint of lines and their regular geometric shape. Hand carvings, curls and other carved details are used as decorative elements in the design. Massive furniture, a carpet in calm pastel shades, the presence of forged elements, and wooden or stone flooring will help complement the charm of timeless classics. The windows are framed with expensive curtains.

The style direction is not new, so many are confident in its thorough understanding. This leads to error, and you can often find interiors in which the slightest additional detail turns an elegant and luxurious classic into something cheap and tasteless.
Modern

Art Nouveau style is preferred by people who are creative and who know how to realize themselves in life. As for the materials for arranging this interior of hallways with stairs, plastic and glass, as well as artificial materials, are often used here.
Modernism combines elements of several directions at once. This is eco-style, hi-tech and loft. In this option, it would not be superfluous to install neon illumination of the steps on the stairs. This will add more charm. A prerequisite is the presence of metal railings. As a rule, chromium material is preferred.

Decor of the staircase in the hall.
Variety is brought by bright decorative elements in red, blue, and lilac tones. They are only an addition, otherwise all attention will be focused on the decor and not on the flight of stairs itself.
Country
Country can be called the style of real villagers. In this case, the main material is natural wood and natural wood colors. This option will cost a pretty penny, since the staircase is made entirely from natural materials in light shades. Preference is given to birch and pine wood.

Provence
Provence style cannot be ignored. If the stairs in the hallways are made in this style, then the interior of the entire house should be designed in the same style. What it has in common with the country style is that they both relate to a rustic interior.

But they have many differences. The color palette immediately catches your eye. If in country blue and lavender colors are only an addition to the basic color, then in Provence they are the main ones. Beige, green, white, and turquoise shades also predominate.
Finishing materials include natural wood in light colors and stone. In creating a modern idea of French charm, white-painted plastic has recently begun to be used.

Choosing a style for the hallway interior: design ideas
To furnish a hall with a staircase, it is better to focus on the interior features of the rooms combined with it. This will make it possible to create a single, harmonious design in a private home. You can go the other way, making the interior in the corridor different from other rooms. Photos with radically different finishing and furnishing options will help you make your choice.
Undeniable luxury in a private house with a staircase
Arrangement in an antique style will create an unusually powerful and noble atmosphere. However, this idea can be brought to life only with an impressive area and sufficient ceiling height in a private house, as well as through considerable financial investments. But the result will definitely exceed all expectations!
A similar effect can be achieved in the Art Deco style, which is more modern, but no less luxurious. But for such a design, as in the previous version, you will need a considerable amount of space and significant costs.
Sustainable classics in the interior
Country style will help you create a hallway that will amaze you with its comfort and simplicity. It implies a clear harmony of colors, the use of natural finishing materials and allows for an exclusively rural flavor, which simply emanates warmth and tranquility. The military style is not inferior in severity, characterized by the same quiet atmosphere and discreet color scheme.
Provence, which amazingly combines simplicity and grace, will help make the design of the hall consistent and harmonious. It will create a truly homely atmosphere. And the calm tones of the design will be combined with any of the nearby rooms.
Types of stairs
Spiral staircase to save space.
- Type march. It is worth noting that this style involves a continuous series of steps. Their number is determined by the size of the entire house, as well as how many floors there are in it. They are often equipped with risers.
- Spiral staircases. You will need to climb this staircase in a spiral. Among the advantages is a visual increase in the height of the ceiling; such a staircase takes up little space and is suitable for small hallways. Among the disadvantages: they are not suitable for families with small children and elderly people. They have a higher price due to the complex execution of the railings. It is not possible to lift furniture to the upper floor; you will have to use rigging and a window.
- Monolithic staircase on a stringer. The peculiarity of this design is the load-bearing beam located in the center of the span, to which the flights of stairs are attached. The beam (stringer) can be either straight or curved, so the staircase can be given any shape. The steps themselves can be made of any material.
- The staircase is attached to bolts (bolts) on one side, and on the other to handrails, which are a load-bearing element. They are made of metal and are attached directly to the wall, which affects the final cost of the structure. Among the advantages is ease of installation and dismantling.
- The design is suspended. Unlike the previous version, the steps do not have joints with each other. On one side they are fastened with bolts, and on the other - with hanging rods. Suspended stairs fit well into the loft and hi-tech style.

Staircase in a private house to the second floor: hallway design
Everything in the house should be subordinated to the same style, including the staircase to the second floor. The layout of the house, decorating style and taste preferences will influence the choice.
In the interior of the hallway in a private house there is often a staircase.
The staircase can be:
- Straight (marching): suitable for large rooms. They can be single-flight or double-flight (they have two transitions between the flights, connected by a transition platform). The second connection option is using winder steps. Such stairs are very beautiful and original, they are more convenient to use due to the comfortable height of the steps.
- Screw: does not take up large areas, 1-1.5 square meters is enough, and will fit perfectly into a small hallway. However, despite the original appearance and compactness, this design will complicate the movement of furniture and large objects to the second floor. But still, only stairs of this type will make the interior of the room bold and original.
- On bolts (bolts): such a model will not look bulky and will add lightness to the interior. It is distinguished by simplicity and clarity of details. The base is provided by rails and steps. The latter are attached to the structure with long hanging bolts and, if damaged, can be easily replaced with new ones.
- Attic: such structures can be folded and hidden in a special hatch. It can be moved apart only when necessary.
- On the stringers: the base of the staircase is the stringers - strong load-bearing posts. There can be three of them (on the sides and in the center) or only one - in the center. Steps are attached to them. Due to the fact that the staircase does not load, it looks elegant and will fit into any interior.
- On bowstrings: similar to the design on stringers. The difference lies in the method of support - the steps are located between the bowstrings.
The following materials are used to make stairs:
- tree;
- concrete;
- metal;
- stone;
- ceramics;
- glass.
The space under the stairs can be used as a dressing room for storing things or a wardrobe. If the house is not very large, you can organize a workplace with a library or place a small sofa.
The most efficient use of under-staircase space is required.
The designs of some stairs, especially the steps, can be used for storing things - they look like drawers. In spacious houses with wide landings, you can create a place for reading or relaxing with a small soft sofa near the panoramic window.
To make the stairs safer and at the same time elegant, you can use a carpet that will muffle the noise while walking. Materials with a structure reminiscent of linen or burlap are perfect for these purposes. They are matched to the color of the stairs. To finish the steps, frame or floor around the stairs, wild stone is often used, which will emphasize the beauty and sophistication of the interior.
The design of a spacious room with a staircase does not pose any difficulties.
The staircase is an object of increased risk of injury, so you should consider a lighting system. It is better to use spotlights mounted in the ceiling and walls. The LED lighting of the steps looks very original.
