Stairway to Heaven

My husband is a big Led Zepplin fan so I couldn’t resist the refence! There’s nothing like a great staircase to make an entrance or just to add some interest. They range from the fantastical to the physically incomprehensible but I thought I’d share some pictures with you.

I love a litlle trompe l’oeil to start thimgs off! This is really really cool- I don’t’t know which metro station it’s in but would love to see it in real life. Via

This looks fun at any age and I’m sure the kids who live at this house have a blast (I hope that there are kids living here!). Via

You see this Georgian staircase design all over London and I love the designer here for taking a risk and doing something that hasn’t really been seen before in such a classical space. Via

The room here is defined by the staircase- it is so beautiful and airy and I love the clean lines and how transparent it appears. Via

This staircase is incredible- it is so grand and the symmetry is so beautiful- definitely perfect for making an entrance. Via

This stairway can be found in Gloucester Cathedral in England and although very slippery and dangerous it is such a beautiful sight! As if it has emerged from a fantasy overgrown woodland the stairs are so pretty and add such depth to the architecture. Via

I would definitely be afraid to climb down these stairs but the design is exquisite! Via
