It's easy to forget that staircases are more than just a practical home feature. As well as magically facilitating our movement between floors, they can become a design triumph in their own right! Pick the right materials and work with the space you've got to create a striking architectural addition and focal point to the room.

If you're in the market for some new stairs, or simply want to see what's possible, you've come to the right place! We've assembled some of the most impressive staircases around for your delectation and inspiration. Enjoy!

1. Getting creative with lighting

To add a subtle mood and ambience within this space, LED lamps have been embedded in the gap between the steps and the adjacent wall. The result is incredibly magical, and works beautifully to evoke a feeling of warmth and hospitality. 

2. Go gorgeous with glass

Featuring laminated, tempered glass, this unbelievable staircase takes us to number 2 in our list. With the absence of a handrail, this floating ladder possesses an illuminated wall rail that lightens the space as well as assisting those utilising the stairs.

3. Nothing to hide!

For number 3, we take a look at a stone composite staircase that is set within beautiful, black-framed glass walls and large skylights. Making full use of natural light to enhance the elements and features within the space, the contrasting hues, as well as the minimalism of the staircase, give an impressive result for the dwelling. 

4. Elegant contrasting details

In this example we see the classic combination of timber steps with the addition of black ironwork. Effortlessly chic, this provides an excellent composition of features within the room, making for an elegant and beautifully assembled room. 

5. Art gallery with a view

Next up we have a great example of how to decorate a space with ample natural light, working with the presence of shadows to create an interesting gallery-style environment. 

The industrial-style staircase is complemented by glazed side balustrades, providing integration within the two spaces. The simplicity of the staircase's lines and their perpendicular position against the glazed ceiling make the environment appear as though it is a beautiful art gallery. 

6. Neat and narrow

From Hyla Architects we see this incredibly narrow staircase that has been created from timber to work as a warm comparison against the two concrete walls.

7. The floating staircase

Appearing to float, each section of this staircase is installed into the wall adjacent, giving the impression that it is simply levitating. A feature in their own right, these stairs are minimal, avoiding any negative impact on the surrounding décor and design. 

8. Grandeur and opulence

Staircases, while often perfunctory, also provide internal areas of the home with a feature and standout design element that helps to increase both the practicality and style of the space. This grand example is a perfect demonstration, improving the room's aura and ambience, while also ensuring there is an easy way to ascend and descend between floors. 

9. Eclectic modernity

A beautiful combination of modernity and tradition, this staircase ticks all the boxes when it comes to attention-grabbing design. We adore the juxtaposition of old and new in this space, which creates an ambience of originality and renewal. 

10. The staircase tree

Resembling a tree as it spouts from the timber floorboard below, this impressive example is intriguing and unique. Ideal for compact areas of the home, the designers have created an organic eye-catching feature for this narrow internal space.
