Joe Swash is tied to Stacey Solomon’s autumn staircase display, which layers garlands, lanterns, fairy lights and pumpkins in her hallway. The look lands as a lower-key seasonal move while she is in the midst of moving house, and it gives homeowners a budget route into autumn decorating without rebuilding the whole stairs.
Victoria Robinson on Stacey Solomon
Victoria Robinson said, "I think Stacey's autumn staircase works so well because it's a more considered and understated take on seasonal decorating." She added, "Rather than overwhelming the space with lots of colour and decorations, she's focused on layering natural textures and autumnal tones, which feels warm, welcoming and much more achievable for homeowners" and, "What I particularly like is how the display complements the staircase rather than competing with it."
The staircase is being framed as simpler to copy than Stacey Solomon’s pumpkin doorscape from last September. That matters because the design is built around a few repeatable elements rather than a full-room overhaul: one garland line, one vertical focal point, and small seasonal pieces used to soften the space rather than dominate it.

Natalie Evans said, "You really don't need to spend a fortune to recreate this look." She said, "A simple autumn garland running along the handrail or around the base of the bannister is a great starting point," and, "As Stacey has done, adding a wreath at the top of the stairs is also a clever way to draw the eye upwards and make the whole display feel more considered".
Natalie Evans also said, "At £7.99, the Hinch Home Fall Garland at Home Bargains is a steal, and there is a matching wreath available too." That gives readers a clear entry price for the look and a practical buying cue: start with one garland, then add the matching wreath if the staircase needs more height and balance.
She warned, "While it is certainly Instagrammable, some of the individual pieces placed directly on the stairs may not be the most practical choice for everyday family living." Her fix was direct: "Removing those smaller pieces and keeping the garland and decorations around the bannister would achieve a very similar look without creating a potential trip hazard."
Homeowners and family stairs
For homeowners and families with busy staircases, that is the useful distinction in the whole display. The garland-and-wreath approach gives the autumn feel; the smaller pieces on the steps are the part most likely to be awkward in daily use, so the safest version is the one that keeps the decoration attached to the bannister and off the tread.
Stacey Solomon has shown a seasonal look that is easy to imitate, but the sharper takeaway is how little it takes to make it work: one affordable garland, one wreath, and a decision to keep the floor space clear. If she shares more of the new home, this staircase already sets the standard for the rest of the season.
