We selected some modern furniture and a rug that complemented the carpeting on the staircase. The corner table, pictures, and accent table pull the room together while the lighter coloring of the carpeting, furniture, walls, ceiling, and pictures balance out the darkness of the wood pieces. The room divider above the staircase adds a fun and creative element to the room. The staircase design we chose acts both a central focus point for the room and a design accent feature.

When we decided to add this gorgeous curved staircase to our front entry way, I knew that I wanted to give it a contemporary design but I was not sure the type of railing that would blend well with the overall style of the house. Rather than hiring an interior decorator, I took on our home remodel myself. I have always been told that I have great style and an eye for design, but taking on this project was more than I realized. I actually relied on this site as my source of stair railing ideas since I did not know where to begin. I had debated between an all metal railing and banister versus a classic wood design that may appeal to more buyers later (in case we sell) and ended up settling on this hybrid design. I like how the beautiful stained wood banister accentuates the curvature of the staircase design and blends well with the other wood tones in our home. The bronze spindles give the entire piece a more modern flare without becoming to bold of a decor statement. The entire staircase and entryway turned out exactly how I wanted.

Going through the home building process for the first time, I have learned a ton about a variety of materials I had never even considered before. One of the biggest and most challenging design decisions that we made was actually our indoor stair railings. I never realized before that railings are quite the art form and really do make a huge impact on your interior design. You have to consider so many things when selecting the right style from material and color to what will go best with the architectural motif you have chosen and the scale of your entry foyer. We had already selected this beautiful curving contemporary staircase design based on the fact that it would make an eye catching statement when you walk in the front door. I wanted a railing that would blend well with our Italian marble flooring but that would also amplify the modern style of the surrounding architecture. I think that this unique metal scrollwork was the perfect accent to our staircase design and provided just the right amount of pizazz to liven up the rest of the decor.

I absolutely love this gorgeous curving staircase design because it adds so much glamour and class to the large foyer. To me a spiral staircase brings such a classic feel to any space that they are in and remind me of the stunning antebellum plantation homes scattered throughout the Carolinas. I know that you need quite a bit of space in order to accommodate a grand architectural feature like this, so it is definitely not a something we could put in our current home -- but I can dream right! The piece that makes this particular design stand out to me the most, is the lovely polished cherry wooden handrail and balcony. The contrast sets off the design and and makes it unforgettably glamorous.

This gorgeous spiced walnut staircase brings elegance to the spacious foyer. The rich wood, and the sleek stair handrail, adds character to the grand entrance of the home. The pot lights and unique chandelier brightens up the room to showcase the stunning stair balusters and all of its intricate details. We wanted the entryway of the home to introduce our clients home sense and exceed their desire for a mixed flare of modern and contemporary designs. Having white base upon each step brings the room to a beautiful completion. Utilizing the space for the stellar staircase designs making it the focal point, while finishing the look with eye-catching artwork on the accent wall, gold table as a statement piece, an exquisite sculpture, and black and white fur rug to establish a particular sophistication. The staircase is suited for the space, clients needs, and their style.

We have built some gorgeous hardwood stairs in the many years that our company has been in business, but I think that this stunning contemporary design may be my absolute favorite of all. The blend of traditional stained wood, with a floating glass railing and edgy chrome bolted accents is such a cool look and one that I have not seen replicated anywhere else. Most modern staircase designs that I have seen feature either a sweeping curved structure our a bold geometric shape often set in the center of a large entryway. In order to accommodate this home's layout, we knew that we would need to tuck the staircase away at the side of the house, but we did not want that to hinder the style. Rather than disguise it behind a wall, we decided to make a bold decor statement with the staircase design. The dark stained risers perfectly coordinate with the interior door style and other wood accents throughout the home. Then all glass wall provides that awesome modern flare while allowing you to see the unique staircase design behind it.
