By Darlings Of Chelsea

Floating staircases never cease to amaze with their impossible physics and minimalist design. Some may see them as a pure danger, but most see an elegant, stylish way to make stairs a feature in the home. They go brilliantly with modern decoration and contemporary furnishings and can either come with or without railings – depending on just how dangerously you want to live! There are various designs and styles out there so if you think they’re for you a quick search should return something that suits you.

The contemporary lines of the Aspen – Content by Conran sofa make it perfect for modern interiors featuring floating staircases. Complete your interior design with block colours and clever storage ideas for the perfect look.

Staircases are the perfect vehicle for ornate metalwork and statement golds and bronzes to really set off a grand home. The classic style is as in-fashion as it ever was, meaning you can get this look and not have your home looking dated. Team with a showstopping chandelier in the middle of your staircase and you have that incredible millionaire feeling in the comfort of your own home.

A stunning leather chesterfield such as the Balmoral will accentuate that luxury feels given off by your grand staircase and complete your interior design look perfectly. The ultimate in craftsmanship and comfort – you won’t be substituting substance for style, either.

Bring that Swiss ski cabin feels into your home with a chunky, rustic staircase. Staircases like this one aren’t exclusively for cottages and barn conversions, either – looking absolutely gorgeous in a range of homes and living rooms. To decorate, think pastel colours, rich, statement walls and chunky oak furniture to really set the room off. Rustic staircases aren’t for the faint-hearted but if your feeling bold they can make a gorgeous statement.

Weird and wonderful staircaseWeird and Wonderful Staircases

There are so many strange staircases out there, including those with slides alongside them! This though is our favourite – we just LOVE the contrast of the wood and the white walls. This would make a true statement in your home and, if you can get the custom job done, we would be ever so jealous! Modern, yet retaining the natural, rustic beauty of the wood, we think this would look stunning in a whitewashed room with the odd red accent such as cushions or art.

Sofa selector: Alice

The Alice modular corner sofa gives you a wealth of options in both colour and size, meaning you can style it to your staircase with no problem. It’s comfy too, featuring extra deep seats and bespoke options should you want them.
