In most homes, staircases are often overlooked spaces that can become an area to showcase your unique style. Instead of forgetting about these spaces, use them as an opportunity to create a unique display of decorations and styles in your home. A shiplap staircase is not only timeless and classic but can blend seamlessly with traditional and modern aesthetics to create an entirely original tableau.
Shiplap is neutral enough that it can be featured along an entire wall without becoming overwhelming. But if you’re of the belief that a little goes a long way, you can use it on only one wall or even as wainscotting to give just a touch of texture. And while white may be the most obvious color choice, don’t be afraid to experiment with different colors to help your home décor make a statement. Get inspiration from any of these gorgeous images below!
