Staircases are the spine of the home. Not only do they bridge together the rooms and stories within a house, but they're often the first space a guest encounters at the entryway. As such, staircases serve dual purposes: they must be welcoming as well as functional.

With such an, ahem, elevated role within a home, staircases deserve just as much decorative consideration and polish as the rest of the home. For example, staircases make for ideal spaces for modern wallpaper or a dash of unexpected color. Unique lighting, an artful collection, and statement-making runners are also brilliant ways to enliven staircases. Finally, banisters made of hand-forged iron, custom fretwork, and even inlay tiles can transform stairs into sculptural masterpieces.

Read on to discover a striking collection of 52 of our all-time-favorite staircase designs. These beautiful staircase ideas will help you plot out your own grand entrance.
