The most chic ideas for illuminating stairs in the house, and it's inexpensive!

Lighting styles and scenarios are what can make your home unique, even if it isn't architecturally sophisticated. And if your house has more than one floor, then staircase lighting, in addition to its immediate task, can also decorate the interior. Let's take a look at the most successful examples of such illumination and figure out how to achieve the same effect.

What are the possible options?

It turns out that there are so many options that it is difficult to decide. Firstly, the backlight can be automatic or manual, that is, it has a conventional switch.

Secondly, different sources of luminescence can be used to illuminate the stairs: ordinary lamps, built-in lamps, LED strips. And even this is not the whole collection of ideas. Lighting can be placed in different places: on the steps themselves, on the wall, on top of the flight of stairs. Let's see how all these scripts will look like.

With automation or not?

Automatically turning on the backlight is without a doubt a more advantageous solution than manually turning it on. You will have to turn on the light every time, and then you will regret not turning it off on time, because the electricity meter punishes for such forgetfulness.

In addition, at night, if you need to climb the stairs, you will first need to find the switch. What if you have an urgent need?

So the automation will even help out. But what kind of automation control to choose is up to you. It may even be the simplest motion sensor. However, if you have pets at home, the ladder will work for them as well.

The lighting can be switched on by a timer. In this case, the light will go out at a certain time of the day, for example, during the day, and at night the stairs will be fully illuminated.

In addition to the motion sensor, load sensors that are triggered by pressure on the steps, or sensors that respond to sound, for example, clap your hands, can be used.

Nobody bothers you to combine sensors: for example, connect the timer and sound sensor.

The staircase lighting can be turned off during deep night, and, if necessary, turned on with a cotton

Wired or Wireless?

Oddly enough, this issue is not so easy to solve. In favor of wireless illumination, we can say that its installation is elementary, does not require any special skills from you and is carried out literally in a matter of minutes.

The only problem is the power supply, which will have to be changed periodically. But given the fact that now there are very energy-intensive batteries and energy-saving lamps, these will not have to be done too often.

But, of course, network lighting is a more practical solution. You will not need to remember about batteries or especially save on light sources.

Which lamps to choose

And here everything is obvious. There is no point in buying ordinary incandescent lamps - no one uses them for a long time. Halogen is also not the best option. They get very hot and can be a real hazard in wooden stairs.

But LED fixtures are the perfect choice.

They consume a minimum of energy, do not heat up, have a variety of shapes, including a tape that can be used to decorate steps along the contour or railings along the entire length.

Where to install lighting devices

And again - a space of options, so the choice depends only on your taste.

The most primitive option is an ordinary chandelier, one or more, located along the stairs.

Spot lighting looks very impressive. Lighting devices can be installed directly in the steps

Floor-standing devices are suitable for those who did not think about the lighting in advance and realized too late. The luminaires can be placed directly on steps along a wall or rail.

And finally, wall sconces. This lighting script is absolutely workable. In addition, the light in wall sconces can be made directional - it will be very impressive.
