Inspired by the Environment
This grand curved staircase in the luxury house of designer and antique dealer Richard Shapiro makes an impressive architectural statement. Gentle blue curves in one of the world’s most stellar stairs evoke a soft wave, which is an apt inspiration for a beach-front home in Malibu, California. This grand staircase features oak stairs and a burnished steel balustrade.
To complete the luxurious look of this project, the area below is decorated with a 19-century replica of an ancient Greek statue. The exposed wooden beams and driftwood log-like sculptural shapes add to the beach-front atmosphere of the home.
Contrast Classic and Modern
Luxury living home design is all about finding the best, richest, and most luxurious materials to incorporate into your home. What better way to exemplify a luxury lifestyle than by using natural stone in one of your home’s staircases?
Color-blocking the red and black stone gives this luxury staircase a classic feel. The contrast of crisp white on the balustrade, as well as sculpture lighting on the adjacent wall, gives it a modern and sophisticated twist.
This type of stellar stairs will fit right in with your Italian-inspired house and lot in Daang Hari at Portofino Alabang.

Warm Italian Tradition
Giving your house the look and feel of a vacation home can make it a much more relaxing and comfortable space to live in. Imagine coming home after a busy day, and you are welcomed by stellar staircases that make you feel like you are staying in a grand villa while on holiday in the Italian countryside. The warm terra cotta tiles and blue mosaic details take inspiration from classic Italian and Mediterranean architectural designs. The addition of a wrought-iron balustrade with intricate vine details only adds to the Italian summer home aesthetic.
If you want to add a refreshing and rejuvenating Italian twist to your home, but having a dreamy terra cotta staircase isn’t enough, then why not invest in a luxury house in Vista Alabang? Portofino Alabang is an exclusive Italian-themed community. Each house here is designed with Italian villas as inspiration.

Keep it Open
Sleek minimalist stairs do not have to be boring. Because you are working with a specific construct, it invites creativity in making a grand statement while using fewer elements. Take these striking stellar staircases in a gorgeous Ipanema home.
These open stairs are framed in polished chrome, giving it a modern minimalist aesthetic.

Lead the Eye to the Sky
While stellar staircases are a statement in and of itself, a luxurious grand staircase also draws attention to other grand features present in a home’s construction. Take this intricate winding staircase, for example. The metal work on the balustrades provides a striking contrast to the soft circular shape of the stairs.
But what these stellar stairs also does is draws your eyes up to the beautiful stained glass skylight that brings in the glow of natural light into the stairwell. The symmetry in this staircase installation also emphasizes the generous proportions of the home, drawing the eye upwards to fully appreciate the high ceilings.
Luxury real estate is all about giving homeowners the luxury of space. Brittany Santa Rosa does this exceptionally well with their world-class luxury enclaves in Santa Rosa, Laguna. Drawing inspiration from architecture popularized in the American South, Georgia Club and Augusta will give you a luxury house and lot in Laguna that will wow you with their generous proportions and grand rooms.
Float to the Top
Designed and built in the 90s by James Carpenter, this incredible steel and glass spiral staircase will make you feel as if you are floating your way to the top. Glass may be an unconventional material for stairs in luxury real estate, but it has an airy and timeless quality to it that makes it a worthy statement feature in luxury living home design.
Adding to the grandeur of these stairs is the intricate web of steel that forms the pillar for this spiral staircase. Not only does it serve as the support for the steps, but it also doubles as a sculptural art element installation that can add a visual point of interest to houses in the Philippines.
Make a Grand Entrance
A bifurcated staircase construction adds grandeur and high society extravagance to any home. Stellar staircases like these take celebrating a luxury lifestyle up a notch. This particular staircase in the photo graces a stunning mansion in Le Pradet, located in the picturesque environment of the French Riviera.
A grand bifurcated staircase adds romance and integrity, inviting you to take your time going up and down. It allows you to appreciate the artistry that this luxury living home design feature brings to the table. Just think about how you can make a grand entrance for special occasions like prom, graduation, birthday celebrations, or wedding anniversaries.
