Every year, interior design trends change. Indoor stairs are no exception.

The original function of a staircase is to allow passage between the different floors of a dwelling. But its role has been rethought by architects and designers. It is now given a nobler role, that of combining functionality and enhancing interior beauty. The staircase becomes a real piece of architecture by considering ergonomics, safety and a high sense of aesthetics.

The design of a staircase is just as important as the colour of your walls or floors. It will set the tone of your home for many years to come.

Discover the 2022 staircase trends and be inspired by the variety of styles.

Wood and metal stairs

If there is a star trend for the year 2022, it is that of the marriage of materials. Wood brings comfort and warmth to the more industrial and cold look of metal. The perfect balance to complete an industrial, modern and warm decor.

The possibilities for customization with this style of staircase are endless. From the configuration of the railing to the colours of the metal, including the essence of the wood, let your creativity guide you. Without forgetting the style of stringer: double or single, rack, straight or mixed. Every little detail counts!

“Floating” staircase

The main particularity of the floating staircase is the absence of the railing. The steps are rather anchored to the wall, without apparent connection. In reality, the steps are affixed to an internal metal structure and patented fixing points.

The visual effect brings lightness, minimalism and modernity. The floating steps seem to levitate for an exceptional rendering. Again, the choice of materials and finish play an important role in the design of your home.

Note that a floating staircase is as solid and safe as a staircase with a railing. They are designed to meet demanding resistance standards to ensure everyone's safety.

Claustra Staircase

In traditional stairs, the walls are thick. Today, claustra staircases are designed with walls that measure only a few centimeters. The idea is to create a feeling of lightness and liberation.

The claustra has become one of the great trends in decoration, because it has the art of separating spaces while maintaining luminosity.

More than a staircase, this type of structure brings a unique cachet to the living space. From floor to floor or steps to the ceiling, in different sections, wood species and finishes, the Claustra staircase adapts to each interior with a personalized result.

Glass Railing

A glass railing makes it possible to delimit the spaces of the house, without the effect of partitioning, by offering an overview of the floors. It is in a desire to visually enlarge a room and let the light through that architects and interior designers integrate glass into their layouts.

The interior glass railing not only has a safety function, it is also an integral part of the decoration of your residence. With their contemporary design, they bring a modern touch to your interior without hindering the passage of natural light.
