1. Fulham Apartment
Who would not love the lighting under the staircase of this home? Well, even if only the bottom part has lights on it, it looks really beautiful. Notice also the continues tread design used here and the combination of glass and steel for the railings.
2. Moat Cottage
If you look closely, the treads used here appears floating but because the other end is also attached to the glass railings, it looked different now. But then again, it turned out really nice with a wooden railing on the other side attached to the wall for more safety.
3. ST910 private client
Instead of using one design for the treads, this one used two. On the upper portion, floating steps are used while on the lower portion, you can see that the steps are continuous and are connected to each other.
4. Entrance
For a simpler approach, you can use this kind of design. Wood is also added on top of the glass railings as well.
5. Seabrook Island Contemporary
This is a staircase that we usually see in our homes. Other homeowners would opt to add a storage space under the stairs to maximize the use of space.
6. Contemporary Home
Who said you cannot paint wood for the staircase? This one appears whitewashed or gray and it just matches with the motif of the home’s interior. What made this home bright are the clerestory windows and a tall floor to ceiling window in one end.
7. Campbell
Horst Architects
Another beautiful idea for a staircase. Instead of just having glass railings, it entirely used glass from the floor to the other floor beam creating a glass wall. For additional safety, stainless steel railing is added on the other side that is attached to the wall.
8. Contemporary home
When wood and white are combined, it results into a beautiful staircase design like what we can see now. Totally neat, right?
9. Contemporary House in Australia
This staircase has a unique design as it added a steel spine that carries the treads. It also used glass for one side and a wall attached stainless steel railing for the other side.
10. Larkin Street Residence
John Maniscalco Architecture
For a flight of stairs, you can always use wood which brings visual appeal to your space that is both soft and warm for the eyes. It looks even nicer with the glass addition in it.
11. Beaches
Apparently, this is a house that sits near the beach and it has a beautiful interior that is both relaxing and cozy. And it features a simple wood and glass contemporary staircase.
12. Karma House
Amara Property Investments Ltd
This one has a different approach to the combination of materials. Instead of just using wood for the treads, wood is also added on the railing part for easier grasp.
13. Templewood Avenue, NW3
Something in this house looks a bit Asian to me. And it is a good idea to add lights on the steps as well.
14. Scarborough
Residential Attitudes
Before we talk about the stairs, I am a little intrigued about that wall on with a huge abstract floral mural. Maybe it was intentionally pushed back and the designer may have a purpose for that. On the other side of the space is a staircase wherein the wooden treads are supported with a spine.
15. The Wave House
This one is similar to one entry on this list wherein glass is used as a tall wall on one side.
16. Custom Stairs
Because of the colorful wall art used here, the staircase looked even more beautiful. You can see that the design of the stairs is just simple but because of the decors around it, it looked really lovely.
17. East Sussex Renovation
Isn’t this beautiful? I know you will agree with me that it sure is a stunning design with emphasis on its spine and treads. It would even pass as a sculptural like structure in the house.

We have surely seen many staircases that used stainless steel railings but this one combined glass and wood with it creating a lovely design. You can also see that the wooden treads rest on a spine.

Just a simple design of a wooden stairs with added glass on the railings. It does look really nice despite its simplicity.
