Stair Design Photos and Designer Critiques

When learning stair design, like all areas of home interior design and decorating, we stress that looking at other people’s design work is a great way to improve your design skills. Using stair design photos provides the examples of dealing with stair spaces that you may come across in your own work. It provides ideas that prompt you to take your staircase designs to another level. Critiquing others work is also another way to assess if what they have done works in the interior space. There may be areas that you see could have been addressed differently.

Analyzing others design is all part of improving your design knowledge and education.

Most of all have fun increasing your stair design knowledge.
