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.

I like the glass stairs
Very nice. I especially like the retractable and bookshelf staircases.

Awesome ideas
i would be terrified to walk on the floating staircase!
Fuck!!! I want one of this in my future house… or may I design my own ones????
I dig the floating stairs. Thumbs up on Stumbleupon.
Crooked stairs are amazing
Those may be art, but most aren’t functional stairs - the REAL challenge is to design interesting stairs that are also safe to use, here is one set of design parameters:

You saved the best for last. We loved it so much, we had to reshow it!
Thanks!
the first one is my favourite!
Very nice. I wouldn’t want to be lugging furniture up/down some of these though!
You just gave me an idea of the staircase i want of my home. I think i’ll go for the one first picture with a bookshelf. It’s multi functional, simple and modern at the same time. thanks for the tip!
I loved the unique stairs of the XXS house but I’m just too scared to climb em XD

These stairs are awesome! I especially like the bookshelf ones. The floating stairs would freak me out. They look too fragile to actually use. The crooked ones look dangerous too, in that they would make you trip.
The spiral staircase immediately brought to mind a musical theme. I would add a G clef post a the bottom and “notes” to the lower rails throughout the length.
Really useful the bookshelf ones, I loved the glass stair. But some models are too strange. The floating staircase is desperately thin, and others make me dizzy.
I love the floating stairs, but part of me would not want to walk up them! I also am a huge fan of bookshelf stairs and storage stairs, you can never have enough storage.
