In many homes one of the first things you see when you walk in is the staircase, but I feel like the design of the staircase is often an afterthought. Making simple changes, like swapping the banister or changing the balusters can make a big impact and really change the look of the staircase! Some of the designs below are very architectural and would require much more money and effort to achieve, but I’m sharing them because they really make a great impact! Which staircase designs are your favorites?
