Staircases That Will Make You Want to Build Upwards

If you’re building a home with more than one floor, then you’re going to need a staircase. Don’t take the mundane route and opt for a boring and basic design.

Your stairs do more than provide a route, they also add to your home’s aesthetics. If you’re in the market for a staircase, these bold ones might fit your fancy.

Straight and angled stairs are the most common design found in homes. Homeowners opt for these simple designs because they fit the purpose of travelling up and down without the inconvenience of wasted space and restrictions. You can level up this mundane style by dressing up the stairway using colours, design, and motifs.

Want a home that makes a lasting impression? Consider floating staircases – they bring class and modern appeal, and are also incredibly Instagram worthy! Floating stairs are steps that are attached to one side of the wall or straight to your ceiling, giving the illusion of levitation.
