A minimalist staircase can add a touch of glamour and sophistication to your home’s entrance, creating an instant positive impression upon any guests.
Why are they so popular? Because they are sleek, clean and create the appearance of space.

Minimalist staircase ideas for your home
At Abbott-Wade, we know everything required to transform your home’s entrance into a modern, minimalist paradise.
With open space and clean lines, it’s the ideal entrance to a home for many people, and here’s how you can achieve that look.
Central positioning
If you’re in a position where you are constructing your hallway from scratch, think about moving your staircase to a central position in the room.
This way, it’s the central focus point of your home’s entrance. As soon as you or guests walk through your front door, they’re greeted by your grand, minimalist staircase, creating an instant talking point and setting the tone for the remainder of your house.
Floating steps
If central positioning isn’t possible in your home, why not try floating stairs? You can’t get more minimalistic than floating steps seemingly appearing from the wall.
The treads within the floating steps are attached to the wall and supported by the hidden structural framework. If you’re seeking a clean and tidy aesthetic then floating stairs are the perfect choice.
Plenty of glass
Minimalistic staircases create space and a feeling of openness, and the best way to achieve that look is with glass.
Using glass balustrades can help light flow freely through the entrance of your home, lighting up the property and helping to give it an even more light and airy feel.
Open risers
The riser is known as the vertical space between each step on your staircase. On the majority of staircases across the UK, you’re likely to see steps without an open riser.
However, for minimalistic purposes, an open riser is perfect. Open risers create clean lines and transparency to your staircase. Like glass balustrades and floating steps, open risers provide a feeling of space and openness.
