Written by Emily Belkoff

Who says stairs have to be boring? Not me! I’ve turned ours into a green paradise with some clever use of indoor vines. 

It’s easier than you think, and boy, does it look amazing. Ready to give your stairs a makeover? 

Let’s dive in!

22 Amazing Indoor Vines on Staircase Ideas

1. Trail Along Stairs

I started by letting green vines trail along our stairs. It’s a simple yet effective way to showcase the beauty of trailing and climbing plants. The natural flow of the vines following the staircase creates a stunning visual effect.

2. Pair with Other Plants

Combining vines with other houseplants adds depth and interest. I’ve found that snake plants and monsteras pair beautifully with trailing vines, creating a diverse and lush display.

3. Hanging Vines

Allowing vines to hang over the staircase area has made our living space feel more vivacious. The dangling greenery adds movement and life to what was once a plain, static area.

4. Vines on Railings

Draping vines over our white staircase railings has been a game-changer. The fresh green hue against the crisp white creates a lovely contrast and instantly livens up the space.

5. Ceiling Suspension

For a truly magical effect, I’ve suspended trailing vines from the ceiling near our staircase. It creates the illusion of a green, living chandelier.

6. Potted Charm

Placing potted trailing plants along the stairs adds a charming green vibe. I’ve chosen plants that thrive in indoor conditions, ensuring they stay healthy and vibrant.

7. Lined-up Pots

Arranging pots so the stems hang over the stairs creates a cascade of greenery. I love how it looks like a green waterfall flowing down our staircase.

8. Folded Vines

Adding charm by folding vines near the stairs creates an inviting feel. It softens the hard lines of the staircase and makes the space feel more welcoming.

9. Living Railings

Creating living railings using wide platters has given our staircase a unique look. It’s like having a vertical garden integrated into the staircase structure.

10. Wrap and Tuck

Wrapping vines along the staircase frames and tucking them into a nearby wall maximizes the use of our staircase space. It’s a great way to create a cohesive look throughout the area.

11. Living Frame

I’ve created a living frame by hanging small potted plants along the staircase. It’s like having a gallery wall, but with plants instead of pictures!

12. Freely Floating Vines

Allowing vines to hang from the ceiling and float freely on the stairs creates a dynamic, moving display. It’s especially beautiful when there’s a slight breeze.

13. Macramé Planters

Hanging macramé planters with spider plants and vines adds a boho touch to our staircase. The textured macramé complements the soft greenery beautifully.

14. Under-Stairs Utilization

I’ve made use of the often-overlooked area under the stairs by hanging platters with trailing plants. It’s a great way to maximize otherwise unused space.

15. Staircase Jungle

Creating a jungle look on the staircase has given our home a fresh, tropical vibe. It’s like having our own little indoor rainforest!

16. Wrapped Railings

Wrapping vines on the railings creates a welcoming look that never fails to impress our guests. It’s like nature is guiding you up the stairs.

17. Wall-Mounted Plants

Hanging plants on macramé hangers along the staircase wall utilizes vertical space effectively. It’s a great solution for adding greenery without taking up floor space.

18. Frame Utilization

Allowing vines to hang from railing frames integrates the plants seamlessly with the existing staircase structure. It’s a subtle way to add greenery without overwhelming the space.

19. Macramé Aesthetics

Using macramé hangers for a more aesthetic look combines functionality with decorative elements. The intricate patterns of the macramé contrast beautifully with the organic shapes of the plants.

20. Plants and Music

In our music-loving family, combining vines with a wall-mounted guitar near the staircase was a no-brainer. It creates a unique wall decoration that reflects our passions.

21. Simple Setting

Sometimes, a simple yet attractive vine arrangement is all you need. I’ve found that even with minimal effort, vines can transform a staircase into something special.

22. Geometric Setting

Designing a geometric railing with smart use of vines creates an eye-catching pattern. It’s a modern twist on the traditional vine-covered trellis.
