7 Modern Staircase Designs With A Unique Twist

July 12, 2023
  • Share

Modern staircases are both functional and necessary when it comes to any home, but they also play a part in a home’s aesthetic. Staircases can act as the main focal point in a foyer, something to really “wow” your guests when they first enter your home. While a first thought about staircases could be that they simply bring you from one floor to another, there are so many different styles. With different structures, shapes, and materials, a staircase can really add character to any interior. With the staircase as the base of any entryway or foyer, you can decorate it to accent the stairs. Follow along below to see 7 staircase design ideas that are sure to leave you all inspired.

1850s Restored Wood Staircase

The featured image is a beautiful design from a Greek Revival home in Upstate New York. Sometimes old is just as good as new…maybe even better! The dark wood staircase adds a unique contrast to the off-white wall color. And we can’t ignore that dramatic chandelier by Murano Palmette. A beautiful combination of old mixed with new design.

Another traditionally styled staircase, the railings complement and create an extremely elegant silhouette. The dark wood finish and detailing of the railings give it that old-fashioned and warm feel.

Iron Staircase with Curved Wall

Design by Marie Flannigan

The more contemporary staircase features a curved staircase wall with brass and iron spindles. The entryway is a minimalist style so Flannigan added a round white fluted table with an off-white linen skirted cube stool. It’s a clean and fresh look.

Warm Wooden Staircase

The wooden staircase design is a gem within this serene Lake Geneva home. The railings are made with custom wrought iron. The unique design gives an antique European feel with a modern twist.

What is a Popular Modern Staircase Style?

The most popular modern staircase trends include glass and metal finishings such as balustrades and railings.

Interior designers and architects are investing in glass paneling to create open-concept style staircase designs. The classic iron steel railings are still popular in 2023. However, more people want a minimalist-style railing.
