There is something special about staircases. Some bring a grandness to a space that elevates the opulence and helps move your eye through the foyer. Others are more modest but evoke character and charm that adds to the story of the home.
What all of them have in common is the ability to be something magnificent. Though even the most traditional staircase is inherently full of character, there are so many interesting places to which you can take this structure.
Architects can run wild creating unique staircase designs. They play with the materials, structure, use of space, style ─ everything is fair game. It is amazing to see how innovative these designers can be.
Here are 10 examples of unique staircases that will catch your eye and ignite your imagination.
