Created in 2021. Staircase to nowhere was inspired by the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami. In the lobby there’s a ballroom staircase leading only to a small coat room, that the architect dubbed “staircase to nowhere”. Back in the days, you could see ladies walking down the stairs and showing off their expensive clothes. I find this very ironic and I a metaphor for life, the status of women in the society, and the lies that they are told.
Our spiral staircase photography post already proved that even something as mundane as stairs can be absolutely beautiful. We decided to expand on that theme and show you the 22 coolest examples of staircases and step design that we could find.
Look at this wonderful photo of a wonderful object. It’s the DNA Tower in Kings Park, Western Australia, celebrating life in the form of the double-spiral arrangement of our DNA structure. Some people would prefer to call this a “double-helix” staircase, considering that a spiral is two-dimensional

tumblr.com Women have been running down them....... (touch pic if gif isn't working) and being carried up them for ages. Grand Staircases I love staircases, those fabulous bridges between floors. The are usually the first impression that a home makes when guests enter. When we deck the halls during the Holidays, they usually get our utmost attention as we garland, light, and tie them up in beautiful ribbons and bows. We stand on them for family pictures, slide down their banisters, brides descend them, and if you are like me, even fall down them a time or two. The purpose of this post is more about how to decorate staircases in exciting ways. Your staircase may not be as big in size, but it can still be grand in how it's decorated. I have a normal sized staircase that I recently painted in a faux marble treatment. Now it makes a statement and is more impressive. Use art, harlequin patterns, faux stone (see My Faux Limestone Project - July 2012) or marble treatments, paint murals, stencil, use paneling, wallpaper, furniture placement or beautiful runners. It may be on a smaller scale but by all means make your guests say "WOW" when they enter your home. All styles are beautiful to me. I adore simple, primitive stairways.
