Known for their luxuriousness and artsy nature, spiral staircases have been found throughout architectural history, popping up in churches, castles, mansions, and more. And now, we can also have them inside everyday houses – from the most extensive spaces to the smallest. And now we’re sharing some designs that will ignite your imagination regarding interior design. Let’s peek at 40 beautiful spiral staircases to dream about having in your home one day.
01. Paddles: Spiral Walnut Wood Staircase
This smaller, wooden-paddle design can fit inside studio apartments, townhouses, and even the smallest two-story homes because of its compact nature. But that doesn’t mean the idea couldn’t be taken to new heights in a larger space.
02. Ribbon
We are swooning over this red ribbon design. Again, this spiral staircase was made for a smaller space and created for artistic focus. And it’s making that happen in this home.
03. Light
There’s a lightness about this contemporary design that makes it an easy addition to a simplistic home. It doesn’t take up too much space, fitting into a more modern, clean-cut vision and style.
04. Two-Tone
Check out this ultra-modern design made with a two-tone step. Black, white, and red will also be a timeless, classic color trio, and it’s incredibly unique to see a staircase wrapped up in color.
05. Glass
How does glass sound when it comes to creating a staircase? It’s chic, it’s modern, and for some … it can be quite daring too. Imagine walking at a heightened level when you can see straight to the floor below.
06. Black
This slick, black staircase nestled in the corners of this grand living room blends well and acts as a striking, gorgeous foundation piece for the area. Without it, you wouldn’t get the same drama and appeal otherwise.
07. Mesmerizing
This design gives a translucent illusion making it quite a mesmerizing piece to add to the home. It’s great for super modern visions instead of more traditional or family-friendly homes.
08. Rainbow
To get inspired, check out this rainbow staircase inside a London home. The design may be modern, but the color choice and boldness reach a more eclectic mind. {found on dwell}.
09. Iron
Here’s a vintage-flavored, iron spiral staircase that will bring you weak at the knees – or at least those in love with a bit of unique detailing and antiquity in their home decor.
10. Traditional
And now we have a beautiful example of a more traditional foyer with a vintage-inspired spiral staircase in its styling. Offset by a wooden door and chandelier, this home is family-friendly but quite impressive.
11. Feminine
There’s something quite dainty and feminine about this gorgeous spiral staircase. Although it’s not quite delicate at first glance, its detailing is where we find the elegance and girlish charm.
12. Turquoise
This turquoise design has so much to love. It’s fresh, innovative, and contemporary, but because of its coloring, it also holds a funky, youthful appeal – perfect for playrooms, offices, and the like.
13. Laced
White and strikingly innovative, this design not only functions as a means to get to the next floor but also as a piece of art for the entire room. Getting a peek at what’s behind the staircase is a bonus. {found on farm}.
14. Pool
If you want to feel luxurious, use a spiral staircase that extends right into the pool, as this Singapore home does. It certainly adds to the contemporary style of the entire area. {found on HYLA architects}.
15. Cornered
Even if the staircase sits in the corner of the apartment, it can still make a splash. Just check out this eclectically-styled area; the spiral still bursts from the corner in a way that blends but creates even more interest.
16. Chic
There’s nothing more to say about this setup than diverting your attention to its chicness and elegant touches. We love how the minimalistic spiral staircase quickly dips into the sophisticated, womanly home office.
17. Freestanding
This is one of the more unique features on the list regarding household spiral staircases. It’s a freestanding design and situated with quite an ornate European style.
18. Wooden
You may want to check out this wooden design for those inside a more traditional family home. It’s pretty modern in shaping but fits into the space’s hardwood flooring and homey vibe.
19. Winding
There’s an easy winding inside this cabin’s staircase design. It’s rustic, easy, and lends its hand to various interior design styles you may want to add to, and we love that kind of versatility. {found on joanheatonarchitects}.
20. Outdoor
If your back porch had a spiral staircase attached, wouldn’t you love it just a little bit more than if traditional steps were attached? They’re much more delicate than chunkier versions and take up less space.
21. Artwork
Here’s another design that looks like it was a piece of art before it ever became a staircase. It’s modern but provides interest and texture to a cleaner, more spartan room. {found on altusarch}.
22. Cream
We love the easy flow of this contemporary staircase. And the cream suits the fluidity of the design, which is hard not to love – inanimate objects and accents that seem to have movement. {found on Haldaneuk}.
23. Ornate
The detailing of this staircase is what’s really on blast here. Its ornate metalwork is the showstopper inside this space, and we love its blend of masculinity and art. {found on weareglm}.
24. Bold
Adding a spiral staircase to your home can be a bold move and a bold feature. If you want to add drama, go with a metal or a rich color that will pop. Black is always a great idea. {found on becausewecan}.
25. Story
If you have a staircase from the past, make it a project for your home or renovation. Revamp them to make them useable and have the entire family enjoying their antique, vintage design. {found on knottinghillinteriors}.
26. Focus
Place the staircase right in the center of the room to make it a proper focus of the space. Don’t be afraid to do this as long as it goes along with the vision and feel you have in mind for your home. {found on hartmanndesigns}.
27. Refined
When you go with wood, you can fit various levels of formality. This design gives you a refined, masculine style that works well with home offices, bedrooms, and traditional living rooms. {found on searsarchitects}.
28. Small
You don’t have to go with a vast, exquisite design; a slight curve or two could be exactly what you need and what will fit inside your home. Just peek at this gorgeous, creamy staircase.
29. Mediterranean
There’s a Mediterranean appeal conjuring up inside this design. And we love it because it mixes the traditional staircase’s easiness with the spiral’s swerve and fluidity. {found on bcvarch}.
30. Library
We salute you if you’re lucky enough to have a library inside your home. But we’re in love if you have the extra luck of having a spiral staircase be the line between both library floors. {found on svdesign}.
31. White
Just because the staircase is white doesn’t mean it’s plain. Just look at the detail of this chic design! It’s delicate but fits a fashion-forward and futuristic interior design vision.
32. Gold
One way to create a unique personalization to your staircase is to add gold. You don’t see it too often inside the home, so when you add this time of baring and railing, you’ll have something entirely your own.
33. Steel
A steel design that creates focus and adds an architectural element to the space, this staircase is quite the scene stealer in this smaller, two-floored area. And we love the natural lighting that plays off the metal!
34. Chunky
Although this staircase is incredibly chic and clean, it’s also quite chunky, which means it needs to be in a home with a fitting room to let it breathe. Of course, the white tone also helps to increase the illusion of space.
35. Kids
You can even bring a bit of your kid’s energy into the styling of your spiral staircase. This iron design was accented with colorful charm since it fell into the playroom!
36. Grey
A personal favorite of the pack, this gray and glass design works beautifully in this contemporary space and as an innovative way to create focus and function inside a family home.
37. Connection
There’s so much to love about this cozy and spacious home. And that includes the refined way they’ve decided to connect the two open floors in this area – a delicate spiral staircase that blends right in with the raw, rustic styling.
38. Marshmallow
These marshmallow-colored stairs fit nicely inside this small library space. We love its modern mix with Victorian details and its luxurious addition to the two-floor room.
39. Concrete
Check out this spiral staircase made of concrete! It’s more delicate than one would think regarding this material but also quite chic and perfect for minimalistic styling. {found on ezzo}.
40. Lighting
This exquisite home’s staircase is breathtaking. But what makes it unique is the lighting that highlights every nook, cranny, and curve of its design.
