If you already have a colourful interior, you might want to choose a subtle finish that complements the existing colours without overwhelming the space. Consider a subtle wood finish with minimal grain and white edging, such as Misty Oak. You could also opt for a subtle concrete look (Blended Cement) or steel look (Blue Ice). This adds texture without detracting from the existing colours in your home.
Colour sets the tone in your home, and your staircase plays a surprisingly important role in this. This year is all about warm, natural shades such as terracotta and olive green, as well as exciting interior trends like bold wallpaper and on-trend colours such as soft pink and deep green. How do you combine these with your staircase? Match the colour to the material and style: wood calls for warm tones, whilst a white or black staircase contrasts beautifully with bold colours and patterns.
Be bold! Especially if you want your staircase to make a statement! A marble-effect or leather finish on your stairs can really make all the difference in your home. Combine these types of stair coverings with bold patterned wallpaper or a bright colour on the wall to turn your staircase – and your hallway – into a real eye-catcher!
Mix and match.
The fact remains, however, that too much colour can detract from your interior. So do try to choose your colours with care. Don’t be afraid to mix and match colours and textures to create a unique entrance.
