19. Mid-Century Modern Open-Tread
Pay homage to the iconic design movements of the 1950s and 60s with a mid-century modern open-tread staircase. This style typically features warm, rich walnut or teak treads supported by a central black metal mono-stringer or simple wooden side supports. The handrail features clean, horizontal lines or thin wooden dowel spindles that emphasize geometric simplicity. The open-tread design ensures the stairwell feels light and integrated into the surrounding living spaces, capturing that effortless indoor-outdoor, airy flow that defines classic mid-century architecture.
