When it comes to styling spaces in your home, your staircase probably isn't the first area that comes to mind. Even though this is a transitional space and you probably don't spend much time there, chances are you use it every day—so why not give it some extra love?
We rounded up 8 beautiful staircases that make huge statements, giving you the inspiration you need to create your own grand entrance.
01 Keep it Natural
Keeping the wood on your stair tread and banister can also make a statement. It not only showcases beautiful wood designs but gives a warm, beachy feel. Plus, if you do it right, you can even mix wood tones throughout your home to keep things from feeling too matchy-matchy.
02 Divide a Space with Plants
If you've got a set of stairs you don't often use or that lead to a closet instead of a room, use it to display your plant collection. It gives the otherwise unused space a purpose, plus it can literally elevate your greenery and help it get the light it needs. Lindsay of Leaf and Lolo even added some riser details to further glam up these four steps.
03 Make a Statement with Art 
Not sure what to do with the blank space between a landing and a staircase? Designer Lindye Galloway filled the space in this sky-high stairway with seven metal globes to fill the empty space and draw guests' eyes up. The best part? They light up, projecting star-like shadows onto the walls.
We might not all have the space to hang art-worthy globes in our stairway, but taking inspiration and hanging a chandelier or Instagram-worthy pendant light can have the same effect.
04 Make a Gallery Wall
Let's be real, gallery walls are a great option to help fill any blank wall space. We're loving the black and white theme of this one, and the matching frames help it feel cohesive and clean.
05 Keep it Simple
Sometimes, less really is more. This non-fussy staircase makes a statement all on its own. It's simple, clean, and the contrasting railing leads your eye up to the natural hanging on the wall.
Even though the wood on the banister and steps don't match the floor exactly, the neutral wood tone doesn't clash with the cool-toned floor. It's the perfect way to style an entryway: inviting, clean, and stylish.
06 Channel Coastal Vibes
This classic white and wood staircase has a cool ocean-inspired twist. A distressed dresser not only acts as a landing place for keys, wallets, and bags, but also serves as extra storage for seasonal items like hats and scarves.
The neutral tones keep it from looking busy, but the texture keeps it from being boring. It kind of feels like stepping into a coastal retreat.
07 Choose a Minimal Railing
Some traditional stair railings are clunky and can actually make your space look smaller. A metal, minimal-style railing like this one not only opens up the space near your stairs, but also adds a fun design element.
The iron-like look keeps things sleek, while the oval accents add visual interest. Plus, the black creates a gorgeous contrast against white and natural-colored stairs.
08 Try a Textured Tile 
Most staircases are wood, but if you want to channel Mediterranean vibes, tiles are the way to go. They add depth and texture to a usually plain step, plus, you can get them in pretty much any color or pattern you could ever imagine.
