If you are decorating your beach house or just want to add a sea-inspired touch to your interior, a nautical staircase is an ideal variant – not too into your eyes and rather easy to realize. Here are some ideas to turn your staircase into a nautical one easily.
Carpet
Adding a carpet is the easiest way to turn your staircase into a nautical one or give it any other feel. All you need to do is just to choose a nautical carpet and place it on the stairs making sure it’s not slippery. Voila!

Painting/ Stenciling
Natural worn wood or light stained wood is ideal as it reminds of a deck. Take such wood for your staircase and then you can paint it with blue and white – just some stripes will be great, or maybe dividing the staircase in two contrasting parts – blue and white? Color blocking, using stain for steps and paint for risers, stenciling the risers and integrating an ombre effect in blue shades are all great ideas to make your staircase feel nautical.
