Our spiral staircase photography post already proved that even something as mundane as stairs can be absolutely beautiful. We decided to expand on that theme and show you the 22 coolest examples of staircases and step design that we could find.
Perhaps one of the most important non-aesthetic design elements of a staircase is space. If the designer can’t figure out a good way to use the space under the stairs, they will take up a lot of space for no good reason at all.
If you’ve seen an awesome staircase that’s worth sharing with our readers, you can share it with us at the bottom of this post!
