Peel and Stick Wallpaper – read below to see my tips for how much to buy and what kind of pattern to pick.While every stairwell may call for slightly different supplies, here is what we used to wallpaper our staircase: Supplies Needed for Wallpapering a Stairwell That my friends, is the definition of a domino effect! And then had no choice but to paint the rest of the trim throughout the foyer. So as a result, I ended up panting the chair rail, stair risers, and railing ALL bright white. ![]() And then…I didn’t realize how dingy the bright white chair rail made the entire rest of the stairwell paint look. So I decided to paint the chair rail bright white. Side Note: What I didn’t quite anticipate is how dingy the yellowy trim would look next to the pretty white wallpaper. It adds the perfect amount of style to our foyer without being too bold or intense. ![]() It is both whimsical and sophisticated, simple and dramatic. This wallpaper actually has a slight shimmer to it (which is why it is so darn difficult to photograph) but it’s an absolute stunner in person. The shadows in this home make every angle look a little different but in general, the stairs have original pine treads, bright white risers and spindles, and a yellow-ish white paint on the walls, chair rail, and baseboards.Īfter painting the lower half of the wall with Edgecomb Grey and wallpapering above the chair rail with Roommate’s Toss the Bouquet wallpaper, here is how our foyer looks now! (Doesn’t that face just breed confidence!)īelow is a snapshot of our foyer staircase the day we moved in. And with Greg’s confidence that we could actually hang it (without getting hurt), we ultimately decided to go for it! I had already ordered the wallpaper and I looooooooooved the whole idea of adding this stunningly simple pattern to our foyer. So I tried to drop my plan of wallpapering the stairwell. On top of that, I had no idea how we’d actually hang it. That super tall was not only going to take a lot more wallpaper than I originally planned but also a lot more time than I hoped. But this one doesn’t have that lowered ceiling, leaving a full-height wall on one side of the stairs. Some staircases have a slanted ceiling that matches the slope of the stairs, creating a “normal” height wall up the stairs. What I didn’t realize… until after we moved in…is that the staircase wall is a full two-stories high. After all, the stairwell wall is short, and since I’d only be doing above the chair rail, it wouldn’t require much paper (or time!) at all! It was then that I discovered that our staircase had a gorgeous, chunky chair rail and I immediately became obsessed with the idea of painting below it and wallpapering above it. ![]()
