Decorating Ideas For Staircase For Christmas

Julie Blanner/Craftberry Bush

As the temperature drops and the holiday spirit fills the air, we welcome the change of seasons in many special ways. Whether you're planning a trip to pick out that perfect tree (or scoring a chic alternative) or decking out your mantel or front porch, every space in your home can benefit from the full festive treatment. But if you're running out of room to spread cheer, we suggest you take your holiday decor to new heights—starting with your stairs. You'll see that wreaths aren't just for your doors, and garlands and stockings aren't only for your mantel—so don't miss out on these creative holiday ideas. Read on for our favorite Christmas staircase decorations, and how you can get these looks to make a statement of your own this year.
