some of our favorite stair inspo
Lately I have gone down too many rabbit holes of stair inspo to count. We’re in our sixth house and this is the third time we have remodeled the staircase. The first two houses didn’t have stairs and the third one was new construction so that leaves us with a 50% stair remodel rate in our own homes. To me, one of the most dramatic features in a home is the staircase. Since it is usually seen from the front door, it tells the story of your home immediately after entering. My problem is, I like too many different stair designs and have such a hard time narrowing it down to just one but I know the story I want our house to tell. It’s a story that says, come on in, you’re welcome here. We take pride in our home and want it to reflect our style, design preferences and lifestyle. We want it to be relaxed and peaceful and to me, our choice of stair design reflects that. The staircase in our current house made me twitch, not relaxed and peaceful so it was one of the first things we wanted to change. Let’s get started with that inspo.

I absolutely love a classic over the post handrail with tapered balusters all dressed in black.

I love the clean lines of the iron balusters with over the post natural white oak handrail above also.

Going back to the classics of white balusters and natural white oak handrail is also an option I always love. I have so many more photos of stair inspo on my pinterest board. There is such a wide range and so many options, designs and styles that I love but we only only have one staircase so I must make a decision!
