But it is also the element that is least focused on when it comes to renovating or furnishing a home - simply because there is usually no need to spend a large sum of money re-doing something that is already there, totally functional, and usually isn’t an eyesore.
Here’s a collection of some of the most beautiful modern stairs around should you be pondering a change in design for your stairs

This I just had to include, simply for the fact that it is a brilliant innovation. These are the stairs that lead to a longhouse (a type of long, narrow, single-room structure built from timber, occupied by many families in a community style living) in Sarawak, Malaysia. These stairs have been carved from one log only. It’s so functional and simple. Hats off to the folks who were innovative enough to design these stairs. via travelpod |
