When it comes to Christmas decorations, a Christmas tree is always the center of attention. But if you have a stairway in your home—whether it's in the foyer or another part of the house—the holidays are its moment to shine! Christmas stair decorations can be as simple or as ornate as you like. Christmas garland made with live greens look beautiful and smell just as lovely. Pretty lights also make a great addition to Christmas decor for stair railings, and there are so many affordable options with battery-operated strings on timers—so you don't have to worry about finding an outlet or tripping on cords.

If that seems like too much work, arrange a few small Christmas plants (such as poinsettias!) and decorative lanterns at the bottom of your stairs, or place LED candles on every other step. This is a super simple way to make the stairs look special without a lot of fussing. Another fun idea is taking your collection of DIY Christmas stockings and tying one from the railing with big bows every few feet. It's a no-mess way to add color and Christmas spirit—without having to clean up any dropped needles. Plus, you can tuck an ornament or bit of faux greenery into each stocking for the perfect finishing touch.

Here are some of our favorite ideas for Christmas stair decorations to ready your home for the holidays.
