44 Cozy And Cool Fall Stairs Decorating Ideas

cozy and cool fall stairs decorating ideas

We usually decorate our porches, mantels and even windowsills for various seasons and holidays but you can bring the spirit to the space styling other, not such obvious spaces. If you have a staircase outdoors or indoors, you may style it for the season to embrace it. How to style stairs for the fall? Here are some ideas.

Railing Fall Decor

Decorating the railing is quie easy: take a garland of faux leaves and cover the railing, and voila! Why faux? Because they don’t require maintenace and will last long, and you may also accent them with lights to make the ambience cozy. One more idea is hanging pinecones, little pumpkins or gourds to the railing, this is a cute and fun solution that works for the fall and not only. You can also make a very lush garland of colorful leaves and pinecones for a woodland feel or pumpkins for a rustic feel. Green and fall flower garlands are welcome to make the space feel autumnal but without traditional bold leaves. Such ideas work for both indoors and outdoors, though outdoors you can also use fresh real leaves.

Stairs Fall Decor

Now for the steps themselves! The most popular idea is placing pumpkins on them – that can be made in minutes. The size and colors of pumpkins are up to you, I’d choose big and colorful ones if they won’t prevent you from walking. Neutral heirloom pumpkins paired with eucalyptus will create a beautiful farmhouse look. Faux pumpkins have some advantages: they will last as long as you want, you can decorate them and they won’t rot. You can pair pumpkins with fall leaves placing them on the stairs outdoors, I wouldn’t recommend that for indoors as they will create a dirty and dusty look. You can also add potted fall flowers to the pumpkins, and that also works well for outdoors. For indoors, you can go for lanterns and candles in candleholders but keep in mind that they shouldn’t touch you when you are walking. Pair leaf garlands and pumpkins and add wreaths and fall flower arrangements to make your entryway or porch adorably autumnal. Get inspired!
