6 Statement stairs

There’s nothing like a sculptural flight to add architectural wow to a home’s interiors. Getting this right isn’t just about imagination – there are practical considerations to boot. You’ll need to know the exact details of your floor build-up, for instance, and make sure it’s realised accurately so the stair lands exactly as planned on all storeys. Featuring solid oak treads that appear to float between a glass balustrade and a plastered parapet wall, this stunning helical staircase by Bisca (www.bisca.co.uk) curves from ground level up to a mezzanine. Bespoke designs from Bisca start at £22,000.
