Staircases are probably the most overlooked areas of a home. It may be difficult to count how many times during the day we pass by them. Let’s not forget then that it is also a perfect space for using our decorating skills, like an open canvas used to express our personality and style. Usually stairways can be decorated with pictures galleries, sometimes people use them as displays of paintings and even empty frames as a wall decoration.
If there is a window over the stairs – we are lucky. However there are so many houses with blind staircase... Usually the daily light is limited and the ceilings are very high, which bring up to a question: what to do with such a big wall? It can be a challenge to find the right art work for that kind of space. It was also my problem. I was thinking what to do. I wanted it to be something original, unique, and different. I knew it supposed to be something quite large, but not over-sized. Something that could bring the balance, and be in harmony with architectural structure of the interior. Finally I started to imagine how wonderful it would be to have a window on that wall... I was thinking... and thinking... and at the end I just painted that window! Hopefully you like it. Look at the effect:
As a finish touch I added those two beautiful candle holders, which also have their own history. But this is a theme of another post.
Final effect:
