22 Brilliant Ways To Reinvent The Stairs

Here are 21 examples of how such a mundane part of your home can become a work of art and a defining part of your home’s interior.

Got wisdom to pour?
Some are beautiful. Most of the stairs shown should be illegal, it’s irresponsible and non functional in design and a broken neck waiting to happen.
The steep stairs are brilliant. Such an effective use of space, I have no idea why people don’t build those more often.
because they are illegal.
many incredubly unique stairs, some quite beautiful, others ingeniously parctical, but several that have gone too far.
The “Metal Staircase would be better termed a “Ladder”
The Flat FM Staircase would be a bit worrisome. particularly without any handrail.
And the Sloping Stairs are, in my opinion, useless.
However, I love most of the rest, particularly the Hanging Stairs, The Tree Stairs , and the Petal Stairs.
Just plant a tree!
these stairs aren’t up to code. tsk tsk
I’ve got bad knees, and stairs have always terrified me. I’ve fallen on stairs too many times. While I can see the beauty of these, the idea of encountering them in reality gives me the willies.
