Black House Series Chapter 11 ~ The story of a staircase, how to design one & a regret

When building a staircase from scratch, it can be designed to be hidden out of sight or a showstopper, we opted for the latter.

I hope you have had a good week? We have just returned from Ibiza which was a stunning and very different kind of holiday to the one I went to the island as a teenager. The North of the island is just breathtaking and there is so much design, architecture and good food to soak in. I will share more soon about our time there.

Now back to the Black House Series and sharing the journey of our staircase, and a regret so hopefully you don’t make a similar mistake.

Staircases aren't always just about getting from point A to point B.  They're like the unsung heroes of home design, quietly shaping the style and flow of a property. It's all about the details. Think about it — upstairs, downstairs, repeat. But there's more to it than that. A well-thought-out staircase isn't just a way to move between floors, planned well, it can be integrated into the floorplan as a functional design element which was our aim.

Our family dog Simba loves to sit here as there is no underfloor heating in this part of the house.

Read on to find out more about a standard versus bespoke staircase and the costs involved. I would love for you to consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.
