How Lighting Can Transform the Look of Your Stairs

Bilger Railings

Staircases do more than link the areas of your home together. They are an integral part that can add style and beauty to your space. Beyond design and the use of quality materials, lighting is one way to transform the look of your stairs.



Lighting makes a world of difference

Adequate lighting increases visibility, helping individuals navigate stairs safely and reducing the risks of falls, trips, and other accidents. A well-lit stairs also make your property attractive to potential buyers and increase its value on the property market.


Above all, lighting is the perfect way to highlight your stairs' decorative and functional features, enhancing their aesthetics and that of your home.


How to transform the look of your stairs with lighting

  • Connect with the outdoors with natural lighting

Flooding the staircase with natural lighting from nearby large windows is a beauty to behold. Skylights above the area can also be a game-changer. Aside from making the stairs bright and beautiful, windows or skylights let you soak in the scenic views of the outdoors.

  • Add a sense of luxury with chandeliers

Chandeliers can add a sense of luxury and sophistication, especially if you have a grand staircase. Aside from being a breathtaking focal point, a chandelier highlights features such as curvaceous spindles or scrolled railings.

  • Make your stairs a focal point with pendants

With pendants, your stairs can be a true focal point in your home's design. If you have a high-ceiling hallway, you can hang a large overhead pendant at various levels of height to create a visually amazing effect.

  • Create elegance with recessed lighting

Where overhead lighting will be impractical, recessed lighting is the way to go. You can install them along the walls near the stairs to provide illumination and enhance the elegance of the space. Recessed stair lighting can also focus light directly on the steps, redefining your staircase and home, while recessed uplight can accentuate a curvy staircase.

  • Light up the railings

Lights aren't designed only for walls, risers, and treads - you can also add a light strip along the length of your railings. Lighting up your railing with LED strip lights can highlight its artistic features, providing a captivating focal point, especially in the dark.
