6 Ways to Get in on the Spiral Staircase Trend

If you’re looking for a literal unique twist on a space, you’ll want to look into a spiral staircase. Thanks, in part, to universal design and more basic, open floorplans, you just don’t see a lot of spiral staircases worked into homes these days.

However, if you want a look that’s visually interesting with a touch of a classic and romantic feel, you may want to think about putting in a spiral staircase. Below are some of the top spiral staircase designs. From natural looks to industrial styles, a spiral staircase is a customizable option that fits surprisingly well into almost any home.

Spiral staircases are a natural addition to loft designs. Image: Coupdeville

Open design spiral staircase

Just because things are going more open plan these days doesn’t mean you have to forget about spiral staircases. They’ve come a long way from being the main mode of access to higher floors in old castle towers. Spiral staircases can have an open, minimalistic feel, like in the photo above. When combined with an open loft design, spiral staircases do anything but close off a space visually.

And the photo above proves that spiral staircases can even work in smaller spaces like a studio apartment. It’s a fun way to add some geometric interest to an otherwise clean, white space, too.

The natural stone texture is a sturdy and classic way to line a spiral staircase. Image: Neal Prince Studio

Closed design spiral staircase

Of course, spiral staircases can still take on a more classic design. They don’t all have to be open and modern. The photo above shows a closed design concept in which the spiral staircase is surrounded by stone texture walls. It gets back to the classic castle design many people think of when they picture a spiral staircase. It’s a great option for classic or romantic styles.

Alcoves with candles in them along the stairs can add ambiance and a sense of classical appeal, too. Textured wood is an attractive option for this natural style. Potted plants can add to the natural feel.

A spiral staircase is a great way to connect two levels of a home library. Image: SV Design

Functional space spiral staircase

Unless you build a wacky home where the stairs intentionally lead nowhere, all staircases are functional. The photo above shows how a spiral staircase can combine two stories of the same room. In this case, it opens up another level for a library space. The staircase takes on a new dimension of function by combining these two levels in one space.

Other ideas for a hyper-functional spiral staircase include combining two levels in one guest bedroom or designing a spiral staircase to access additional decorative shelving. Spiral staircases are all about a unique take on a place, so you can get extra creative with these designs.

The exposed metal and visible bolts often seen in spiral staircases make for an appropriate touch in rugged industrial spaces. Image: Joan Heaton Architects

Industrial spiral staircase

Spiral staircases are a favorite in industrial designs. A stark staircase design gives a more austere aesthetic, often a hallmark of industrial looks. For instance, the minimalistic staircase above shows a lot of exposed metal, which fits right in with the distressed cabinetry and exposed copper piping on the wall.

The mixed material of the black metal and warm wood also gives the piece visual interest. It proves that spiral staircases can be a work of art unto themselves and can add to the style of the space.

As a side note, a tight spiral design like this also works well in smaller spaces.

Surprisingly, a spiral staircase doesn’t have to be completely spiral. Image: SB Architects

Square spiral staircase

While not a perfect spiral, this style is still labeled as a spiral staircase. It shows that you can get creative with the geometry a little and still keep the main concept intact. A squared design with added wider platforms makes this a good option for something to go over a first level of traditional stairs.

It’s also a good way to get the spiral staircase feel, even if you have a more square or rectangular floor layout or home design. A design like the one above can also keep a tight space looking more open thanks to the glass paneling along the stairs themselves.

Spiral staircases are fair game for artistic flair. Image: Paragon Stairs

Embellished spiral staircase

The embellishments you choose to add to spiral staircases can become their key feature. The photo above shows some leaf designs added to the stairs themselves. It proves even a minimalistic staircase design can still have some more style added in. Little details like this are an easy addition and give a punch to the design.

You can choose a wide variety of embellishment options. Some styles add complicated designs to the handrails or to the outside of the stairs. For instance, spiral staircases in foyers or other key focal points of the home often have complicated, attractive twisting designs on the outside of the stairs for a romantic feel.

Which of the spiral staircase trends above are you most attracted to?

Lofts That Inspire: From Industrial Spaces to Urban Homes

Lofts have come a long way since they were first used as makeshift living spaces decades ago. Today, they have become inspiring living spaces for those who want a more urban home. Lofts began when factories and industrial buildings were erected in the late 19th century for the purpose of mass-producing goods and wares in a time period that was not known for health and safety compliance. These spaces were built for their convenient proximity to other commercial buildings and transportation hubs.

Fast forward to the 1960s. Lofts were extremely cold or hot (not properly ventilated) open concept spaces with huge windows, exposed industrial fittings and an abundance of light that made them excellent work spaces for artists. These dusty and drafty places were often at the top of a very steep flight, or two, of wooden, dimly-lit stairs and were located on some typically non-residential street. However, they slowly evolved into more permanent living spaces when artists decided to camp out and live and work in these spaces that could accommodate large works of art.

Lofted spaces make the most of the room they have. Image: Coupdeville

Many of these occupants were illegal squatters, though they made these spaces habitable with ingenuity and style. Before long, large cities such as New York, London and Toronto passed laws to make it legal — if one was a certified artist — to live and work in these spaces. Galleries soon came to discover new artists, followed by cafes and restaurants. Landlords eventually realized that all this creativity was increasing property values. Today, most loft spaces have been fully renovated and are completely habitable. In large urban areas, loft spaces can sell for millions of dollars.

New York State of Mind

New York City is home to blocks and blocks of loft buildings and spaces. One of the best known is the “Little Singer” building at 561 Broadway, one of New York City’s finest architectural masterpieces.

A loft in the Little Singer Building with a dynamic view of New York City. Image: CityRealty.com

It was erected in 1903 and designed by Ernest Flagg, who later completed the 47-story Singer Tower office tower at 149 Broadway at Liberty Street in the Financial District. At the time of its completion, it was the world’s tallest building. It was demolished in 1967 to make way for the U.S. Steel Building. Flagg’s original, 12-story building would then become known as the “Little Singer” building.

Built to house the corporate offices and factory space for the Singer Manufacturing Company, it was converted in 1979. After conversion, it became a cooperative with a mix of residential and commercial uses including 20 offices and 15 live/work units for artists. It now has 22 cooperative apartments with remarkable views and outdoor spaces.

Six on a Wave

Toronto, also known as the “Six” for its area code 416, has many residential lofts. Gone are the days of late night rock ‘n’ roll parties in warehouse spaces with paper thin walls that doubled as musician’s apartments. Today, the commerce and business capital of Canada has some of the most expensive real estate in the world. That includes many loft spaces that have been updated and renovated. One of the best-known lofts in Toronto is The Tip Top Tailors Building, now known as the Tip Top Lofts. A former 1920s industrial building converted to condominium lofts, this landmark building is located on 637 Lake Shore Boulevard West. It’s just west of Bathurst Street, near the waterfront. It was the former headquarters of Tip Top Tailors Ltd., a Canadian menswear retailer.

Tip Top Lofts in Toronto, Canada is one of the country’s most recognizable loft buildings. Image: Natasha McColl.

Designed by Bishop and Miller architects using Art Deco design, the building was completed in 1929 and housed the manufacturing, warehousing, retail and office operations of Tip Top Tailors Ltd. Tip Top Tailors eventually became a part of clothing conglomerate Dylex Limited.

In 1972, the building was designated as a heritage structure by the City of Toronto. In spring 2002, Dylex sold the property to Context Development, which converted it into condominium lofts. The conversion was designed by the architects at Alliance of Toronto. The conversion included the addition of six stories on the roof. The neon ‘Tip Top Tailors’ rooftop sign was retained and given a slant. Today, it is one of the most recognizable buildings in the capital city.

The Big Easy

Big open spaces in the Big Easy aren’t very easy to come by. In a city with a limited amount of warehouse space that fits the loft criteria, finding a unique loft space can be challenging. However, there are some excellent choices in the Warehouse District of the city. At 747 Magazine (aptly named for its address), you’ll find multi-level homes with private elevators, interior staircases and wrap-around balconies overlooking the city.

Lofts at 747 Magazine come with an unobstructed view of downtown New Orleans. Image: Meaghan Clark.

Owner John Shoup has both a workspace and private residence at 747 Magazine. He has been in the building for over 20 years. Initially used as a secondary home in the city, the entrepreneur and business owner is transitioning to this urban setting full-time. Shoup enjoys the practicality of living in the city center, while still enjoying a residence that remains very private. His view of the downtown skyline from three different angles is enviable and is something he fully appreciates.

Just three blocks away, one of Shoup’s employees, David Mahoney, also lives in a downtown loft with a great view of the city. St Joe’s Lofts is a building geared toward providing affordable living space for artists and musicians, something Mahoney appreciates. The lobby and hallways of this building is full of unique paintings, drawings and sculptures created by residents and available for purchase at any time. Mahoney enjoys living among other artists and says the creative environment helps to foster closer relationships and a neighborly attitude.

Loft living doesn’t mean you have to give up outdoor space. Image: Meaghan Clark.

Loft living benefits

Convenient access to shops, services and entertainment is one of the major benefits of loft living. Many loft residents also enjoy access to public transportation and the ability to cycle and walk. Those who take up residence in a loft gain the ability to make a unique living space that isn’t typical and that can be personalized. In short, lofts give those with vision and creativity an opportunity to create a home that inspires.
