What do you think about stairs? I can’t tell you how many clients I work with who don’t want stairs in their home. Whether they’re a young family with small kids or older and downsizing, stairs are often off the table. Sometimes it’s a necessity, as aging people can stay in their homes longer if there aren’t any stairs. In that case, I’m anti-stairs too.
In general though, I love stairs—the look of them, yes, but also what they mean for a family.
We are living in an open-concept driven world right now, but that can also mean a total lack of privacy. Stairs for me scream more space, privacy and separation. While having your toddler in sight at all times is great in an open concept home, they really do grow up so quickly and then there’s nowhere for anyone to go! I am speaking from experience, and since I’ll never move and my family will never have any privacy, I will continue to stare longingly at staircases like this one.
