Don't you love it when an artfully designed
staircase becomes much more than a functional
way up or down?
Visually graceful, sculptural, and architecturally
interesting, staircases are often overlooked
as a means to make a memorable personal statement
to be enjoyed every single day for many years, and
the reason is quite clear: it aint easy.
The structural plans alone can be daunting.
So when extra care and attention is given to
the design and materials for creating a
masterful staircase...oh, my, what
wondrous results may emerge.
Here are 26 examples of inspiring staircases,
plenty of them luxury fantasy-types we are
unlikely to replicate (don't you dare send me
a ranting email about how it's silly
I post these unattainable architectural
wonders...dude, Hello Lovely is always
going to deliver fair doses of fantasy!),
but all of them reminders
that while the engineering of the stairs
reigns important, the extra mastery
injected into the aesthetics makes life
more beautiful and more abundant.
Meet me at the finish line and let me know
which staircase is your favorite!
Onward.

What kills me about the image above is that this
entry's proportions are just about identical to the
entry in my own cottage, and to see what reclaimed
wood, oversized doors, delicate iron and limestone
could do makes me nutty! We even have that
window you see in the stair landing, only ours
has colonial trim and a fan window above it...boo.

Here's the thing about open stair risers.
They totally work in this minimalist space
above, but the carpeted ones in our fixer upper
looked ridiculous paired with the traditional
décor and finishes around them...in most cases,
you cannot simply combine all of your
favorite architectural elements (colonial trim,
open stair risers, and '70s shag carpet, for example)
and expect them to work eclectically.

If you love a French-inspired, delicate wrought
