How to illuminate an interior staircase

Staircase lighting is not only a functional factor (stairs that are well lit and safe to walk on) but also an aesthetic factor. It is important not to relegate the stairwell to a simple passage area: staircase lighting gives character to the environment without sacrificing its practical aspects. There are many different lighting combinations: in the choice of the lighting solution, aesthetic and functional factors are taken into account, together with the constructional features of the staircase.

Staircase lighting with LED step lights

Wall-mounted LED step lights, such as NEWSTEP, are the ideal solution for localised stairwell lighting. Almost invisible light with a minimal and elegant design, for wall installation in masonry or plasterboard.

Another lighting solution that is ideal for an interior staircase is represented by the CARTOON LIGHT linear step light systems.
Lighting systems that ensure: visibility, for a stairway that is safe to walk on; design, to make the stairwell the focus of the project; integration with the architecture and construction techniques of the building.

LED spotlights to illuminate the staircase

If the design choice is for lighting that is vertical to the staircase plane, adjustable spotlights, such as DOWNLIGHT or BLINK, are suitable for creating accent points on the walls or uniformity on the flight with bright light, depending on the choice of the LED spotlight. LED spotlights are ideal to be moved at will to illuminate without leaving areas in shadow and to create a pleasant suffused lighting effect. Ideal for modern open-space staircases or spiral staircases.

Other solutions for modern staircases are recessed wall luminaires to illuminate the staircase: recessed luminaires placed in the steps, and light lines integrated into the structure of the staircase, to add a dramatic effect.

Beauty, functionality, decoration: Navigating the staircase safely and making it an important element of the lighting design. Lights that decorate and do not reduce the stairwell to a mere passage area.

Staircase illumination using wall lights

A more traditional solution is represented by the wall lights: wall luminaires, decorative and functional objects with a great effect. Among the many solutions proposed by Novalux for stairs, there is the PROFILO T wall light: an elegant system, with a linear design and direct and indirect light emission. It can be installed alone or in a continuous row, with a LED strip that can be cut to size, or in the version with integrated LED PCB. Lamps that decorate spaces as true design accessories and add a touch of glamour.
