Here is the photo of what the hallway sitting in my husbands office looks like, i have lived here 2 years and still not done decorating. what do you experts think of adding wallpaper to the stairwell?? Maybe only the side we look at in the picture. And if so what would look awesome and go with the wood wall behind the desk? I don’t want a ton of pictures up the wall but it clearly needs something!! The wall looks So dirty in this photo(it is)😱 I really need something going up these stairs!! Thank you for looking!

Unless you are hiring someone to hang the wallpaper, which will cost a ton plus cost of paper, it’s not an easy job to do on a staircase. Instead, I would create interest by adding a runner (and paint trim white if it’s not already - hard to tell) and to compliment the rustic office, add a large wall hanging.

What do you expect the wallpaper to accomplish once installed?

Select some framed artwork to install at the top of the stairs so it has a focal point.

Then develop a wall with family pictures down the staircase.

I think wallpaper on that wall is a great idea! Are you envisioning something dark and dramatic or lighter/brighter?

I love wallpaper and have some in my home, BUT I'd never install paper on that stair wall, it will be scuffed in a few weeks.

How about grasscloth wallpaper? I also think a runner is a great idea.

Just keep in mind that you will see every seam with the grasscloth and the rolls may not come long enough for your 'drop' which means that the paper will have to be pieced. It's doable but requires an expert paper hanger for a job like this.
