Brace yourselves for this highly impressive interior staircase idea. This house has a glass enclosed courtyard in the center which also holds this crazy amazing spiral staircase that leads to the roof top terrace. The staircase is huge and dark and made of steel. It’s so interesting in contrast to the natural feel of the rocks and stones and trees of the courtyard. Because of how the house is designed, you also get these really cool views of the courtyard space throughout the home. This house is located in Singapore and was designed by ong&ong. So great, right?

Understairs storage is a great idea for maximizing space. Often times, space under the stairs can be wasted so if your layout permits, why not integrate some. This is a wonderful example. The storage units can be pulled out revealing numerous shelves for household storage and when closed they blend right in. Alternatively, the larger units could also be closets with doors. This would allow for storing tall items upright, like a vacuum or a broom, or even for hanging clothes. But as this example shows, shelves are a wiser choice for the shorter units as it is more convenient to place items in this fashion, otherwise storage of standing or upright items may not necessarily fit. Visit Deriba Furniture for more interesting understairs designs, to maximize your space.

But nothing beats a first-hand feel – with its broad winding bend, gentle rise and sophisticated overall aesthetic, this staircase is an instant focal point in this interior.

We must share this cool contemporary spiral staircase design with our readers. Located in Poland and designed by Damian Cyryl Kotwicki, this home is smaller than it looks. At just 560 m2, it’s amazing that this massive staircase doesn't overtake the space. Good planning and features such as an open plan with a five meter wide window allows for creating and giving the illusion of even more space. Choosing a glass siding for the staircase instead of continuing it in solid wood is also a great way to avoid the staircase being so imposing - but the wood keeps it rich and luxurious. A wonderful focal point in the space. Equally noteworthy in this space is the use of black accent walls. Usually something people shy away from, but this home shows that if you can gather the courage, and if you do it right, black walls can really add dimension to a space.

One way to spruce up your home decor, while adding a personal touch, may be by paying a little attention to your stair riser. It could be a fun DIY project or you could always hire a professional to inspire you or to realize your ideas. The picture below shows a crafty way to make an impact using stencils. Or if you like numbers, how about numbering your stairs in a creative way? You could also write things on the risers, like your favorite romantic quotes or book titles. And if a written statement isn’t your thing, you could always use tiles that match your decor scheme. This is a really great way to create a personalized and unique home, where details matter.
