Their ingenious designs are bound to earn your praise and inspire you to introduce the same into your home…

Floating staircase

Floating staircases are very suitable for small homes, because it leaves ample space underneath to be used in various ways. Its design does not create any sort of clutter or occupy too much of a space. In many ways, it looks like a large art installation than a mere staircase.

Spiralling up to the loft space

Charming views

This is a charming view indeed. Both stylish interior design including the spiral staircase and natural beauty of the surrounding area are responsible. The house itself is not essentially a small one, but its staircase design fits any small home beautifully.
