Get Inspired: 6 Staircases That Will Give You The Graphic Bug

May 26, 2022
  • Share

A staircase is unique to each home. They all have their own story and their own purpose. Some staircases are meant to be displayed as the showpiece of a foyer. While some staircases’ only purpose is to help you get from one floor to another. There are different styles, materials, shapes, and structures that can transform a few wooden steps into a grand staircase that will make your guests’ jaws drop. Take a look at my round-up of staircase designs to help give you some inspiration.

1. A Grand Staircase

The above photo is of the grand staircase at my friend’s house. He kept the design minimal a slightly curved shape with black iron railings. I love the way it accents the black trim of the windows.

 

2. Mirrored Staircase in Mexico City

A beautiful mirrored staircase I spied at my friend’s house in Mexico. She created a gallery wall of vintage mirrors and art. It helps reflect natural light around the room.

3. Elegant and Chic

Celebrity designer, Jeremiah Brent, helped design this custom white oak wood and iron staircase. It seamlessly connects from the basement to the top floor of the townhouse.

4. Rustic with a Playful Twist

A cozy monotone corner with a rustic twist. If you look closely you can see the diamond and heart-shaped cutouts in the wood railings.

5. Elegant Entryway

Castle Homes

A more traditional staircase with an elegant twist. The simple iron railings complement the curve in the staircase. Another style of railing could make this space look too congested and cluttered.

6. Modern Plaster

Banda Property

A more unique and modern look is not using any iron railings. Instead, clean plaster walls with wood steps will take an average staircase to the next level (no pun intended).

Design by @covetnoir. A 1750 Georgian home in Surr Design by @covetnoir. A 1750 Georgian home in Surrey, restored back to its former grandeur.
Grade II listed and stripped of most of its original character by previous owners, this 9,000 sqft home with seven bedrooms, and five bathrooms was brought back to life for a French-Swedish couple raising two young kids here. The brief: Parisian luxe with a Scandinavian twist, and a design calm enough to keep the grand proportions feeling intimate.
Covet Noir rebuilt what had been lost: full plasterwork, raised & fielded panels, a bespoke decorative ceiling, and added a cantilevered limestone staircase with Nero Marquina cabochon inlay in the entrance hall. The material palette leans into marble and alabaster, softened with boucle and brushed cottons, chosen to hold up to two kids and two dogs without losing the elegance. Antique furniture and architectural fittings were sourced throughout to keep the project sustainable, alongside ground source heating.
Grand bones, calm hand. This is the kind of restoration we could look at all day. 🤍

A great vaulted ceiling doesn’t just add height. It changes how a room feels entirely. The best ones make you stop, look up, and never want to leave.
Save this for your next build or renovation inspo. 🖤

Before you start moving furniture, ask yourself thBefore you start moving furniture, ask yourself these three questions:
Does this improve the room’s function?
Does it create a better focal point?
Does it make the space easier to walk through?
If the answer is “no” to all three, maybe it’s just the rearranging itch talking. 😅
Save this for the next time you’re tempted to move every piece of furniture in your house.
This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and k This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and kept us there.
A 90s home in Amman, Jordan, entirely remodelled by local artisans. Neo-Florentine bones, Levant-eclectic sensibility, arched passageways, and a flea-market-meets-commissioned-art collection that makes every wall feel intentional.
What makes it work: restraint where you’d expect excess, and boldness where you’d expect safety.
This is what happens when a home is built by people who actually know the place. 🖤
Save this, it’s a masterclass in culturally rooted design.

Black is not a bold choice. It’s a neutral, and one of the most versatile ones in design.
The rooms that get it right treat black the same way others treat white or greige: as a foundation that lets everything else breathe. The texture of the wall. The warmth of the wood. The drama of the marble. Black doesn’t compete, it amplifies.
Save this the next time someone talks you out of going dark. 🖤
