Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

It may not lead to heaven but if you design your staircase with some creative thought it can look the part!

A custom built staircase is only limited by the designer’s imagination, and can make use of a wide variety of materials to produce what are often strikingly original forms.

Most of us probably take our staircase for granted and think of it as a simple way to ascend or descend between floors. Stairs usually take center stage at the entrance to our home, so we walk you through the wide range of staircase styles and trends to optimize their performance.

Here are few tips while choosing the right staircase design:

Style – match your staircase to the style of home
Needs – do you need storage underneath
Natural home lighting –staircases can be dark so strategically position windows
Flooring surface – match your floor with your stairs
Safety – what are the capabilities of the homeowners eg children/elderly
Avoid tripping points – differ surfaces on entering and exiting so your body visualises and feels the change

Here are the 15 most Creative and modern Staircases.
