What are the different styles of stone staircase design?

Contrary to popular belief, contemporary style isn’t confined to a particular time frame and it simply refers to staircase designs that are popular in the current day. This makes contemporary staircase design more of a concept than an identifiable style.

Modern staircase designs come from the early to mid 20th Century and are inspired by Scandinavian and Germanic styles from this time period. Modern staircase design places a high emphasis on simple form and function, with clean lines and minimalist embellishments. Its main identifiers are neutral colours, simple forms, and an overall feeling of balance and harmony.

Traditional design is a warm and comfortable style, incorporating design elements that predate the modern design period and a higher focus on creating a more informal and comfortable look. It is characterised by softer, gently flowing lines and warm tones, and is more decorative without being ostentatious.
