Joanna Gaines' Fixer Upper Staircase Idea Is The Perfect Way To Liven Up An Entryway

If there's one person who knows how to liven up any space, including an entryway, it's co-host of "Fixer Upper" Joanna Gaines. After working on a lakehouse style project, Gaines posted the stunning results on Instagram, revealing a beautiful entryway that leads to a dynamic, wooden staircase. However, what makes this staircase particularly special is the dark green subway tile she installed behind it in a modern, grid pattern.

The natural color of the tile beautifully complements the cool, wood tone of the staircase, creating a cozy yet updated feel, while also upholding the original 1960s vibe of the home. It seems she also chose this color to match the painted walls in the nearby sitting room, which also features the same wood tone of the staircase in the trim and furniture. If you love this look as much as we do, check out the different ways you can obtain the design for your own residence.

If you'd like to get this beautiful subway tile look for your staircase, you've got a few options. First, you can have a professional install the tile behind your staircase — unless you're confident enough to do it yourself — for a more permanent design. The dark green tile Joanna Gaines used appears to be matte and a bit weathered yet uniformed, so we suggest purchasing something like the Look Olivia Porcelain Wall Tile from The Tile Shop for $16.79 per square foot. 

But if you'd like something that you'd be able to easily pull down, we suggest finding a simple peel-and-stick option, like Smart Tile's Peel and Stick Gel Backsplash Tile in their Morocco design from Wayfair for about $33.29 per 2.8 square feet. It doesn't require grout and typically takes about 48 hours to fully stick to the surface. This is also something you can install yourself without a professional to get the fabulous design Gaines created.
