It's easy to overlook the stairwell area, since you don't spend as much time in this space as you would in a living room or bedroom.

But the transition area between functional areas in the house is where people pass by a lot, is a stop and places to store necessary items when entering and exiting the house.

If taken care of, this can be the place to make a good first impression for anyone entering the house, as advised by BHG design experts.

1. Ideas for interior

The walkway in the house is also a place to show the homeowner's personality, so you should spend time thinking about the design.

Place unexpected pieces of furniture at the entrance to the staircase so they work as a team and provide storage and seating, while a small table displaying a favorite collection creates a focal point.

The black, white and cream color palette brings elegance to the first space you see when you enter the home.

2. Small stairs and big picture

An idea that combines storage space and style.

Draw attention to the stairs in a small entryway to create a more spacious feel to the space.

You can do that by hanging a large, bold piece of art on the wall to create a special focal point for this particular walkway in the home.

3. Houseplants

Place a large green plant on the floor and choose a pretty pot to make the small stair corner a welcoming place.

This is especially effective in places with natural light, like this entryway with lots of glass in the doors and windows.

4. A long staircase

Create a strategic, stylish and beautiful space by choosing furniture.

Place a narrow bench right next to the stairs for a small entryway.

Add a table or plant and you'll have a place to take your shoes off while the pillows, pictures and greenery impress any visitor to your home.

5. Reuse furniture

Use drawer cabinets instead of hanging shelves in the hallway to provide plenty of storage for small stair nooks and limited wall space.

6. Collections

A small bench against the wall next to the stairs adds a bold pattern thanks to its black and white upholstery, and is also a place to sit and take off your shoes when you get home.

The wall displaying a collection of family photos along the stairs adds to the impression of the space.

7. A desk, why not?

Who says the desk has to be in the home office?

Place a small table right by the stairs with a pair of stools to use as a desk or foyer table.

Add a striking piece of art and accessories to create a stylish space.

8. Narrow Stairway Access

Even the narrow hallway around the stairs offers plenty of space for big ideas.

Here, a thin carpet leads the steps down the hallway past a semicircular table displaying a few small decorative items.

The painting on the wall adds style and personality to the homeowner.

9. Make the most of everything

All collected for the corner of the stairs and make the most of the space.

A floor basket can hold shoes, purses and other items by the door, while a side table with a lamp adds an extra layer of light with overhead pendant lights.
