Curved appeal...

Curved staircases are dramatic and can define the space. The stairs in your home are not just there to get you from one floor to another, they are there as a focal point at times and should be designed to work with the space in your home.

Here is the entry to our current home, the curved stairs going up and down are the central focal point when you enter through the front door. The layout for the next home is very similar, but I am thinking about adding some wainscoting to it and shaker style paneling detail to the underside of the staircases.

While looking through Houzz I came across the design firm Austin Patterson Disston based out of Connecticut, here are 3 beautiful curved staircases that they have in past projects....

I love the natural light flooding this stairwell with the bow window that mimics the shape of the curved staircases.

Mid week already. I am meeting a new client later today for consultation on a kitchen remodel that her and her husband are doing in their older home. Excited to meet them and get the project going. Enjoy the day. Mel :)
