Indoor floating staircases

Interior floating stairs turn a connection between floors into the room’s focal point. With no risers or bulky stringers breaking the sightline, each tread appears to hang in open air, letting light move through the space instead of stopping at a solid riser.

Built to open up the room around it

A custom indoor floating staircase kit opens sightlines, frees up the floor space beneath the stair, and turns what’s usually a utilitarian transition into the centerpiece of the room.

Open sightlines and airy visual space

Without risers or bulky stringers in view, each tread hangs open to the room around it. Light passes through rather than stopping at a solid surface, giving a modern feel that’s brighter, larger, and more connected to the rooms around it.

Ideal for open concept floor plans

Due to its unique support structure, an indoor floating stair can stand freely in the center of a floorplan. This makes it a natural fit for open-concept living areas, where a boxed-in stairwell would otherwise interrupt the flow between kitchen, living, and dining spaces.

Reclaimed space below the stair

With no enclosed stringer or riser wall beneath it, the floor space under an indoor floating staircase stays usable instead of going to waste. It’s easily built out for storage, a greenery space, or used as a reading nook.

Customizable kits

Tread material, railing style, and finish are each selected independently, so an indoor floating staircase can be tailored to a modern home’s existing character rather than introducing something unrelated.

Connect with your space

Your loft, unlocked

Back metal framing against pale white oak treads and open risers make an indoor floating staircase feel clean and modern. Set against exposed brick, the contrast adds industrial edge without adding weight. It’s a natural centerpiece for a loft built around open, minimal lines.

Your family's cozy nook

The space under a staircase usually sits boxed in, closed off, and empty. Open the area with a floating staircase, and the same footprint can hold a dog bed and bench for tying shoes. Add a multi-line rod railing for added safety and dimension or a lighting kit to keep steps lit after dark.

Your anchor for open living

A staircase doesn’t have to interrupt an open floor plan to serve one. Positioned between the foyer and living room with access to an upstairs loft, an indoor floating staircase becomes the fixed point a great room organizes itself around. Clean lines and a slim tread profile make the scale of a high-ceilinged room feel considered rather than empty.

01 / FIT AND USE CASE

Can an indoor floating staircase be installed in an existing home, or only in new construction?

Indoor floating staircases are installed in both retrofit and new-construction projects. A retrofit in a renovation or remodel project first requires an structural assessment to ensure the floating stair can be supported.Once this evaluation and measurements are confirmed, the process follows similar engineering and installation standards as new construction.

Can an indoor floating staircase serve as a primary staircase, not just a secondary access point?

Yes. An indoor floating staircase can be built to meet local code requirements for primary egress, the same standard required of any staircase used as a home’s main path between floors. Tread depth, rise and run ratio, and handrail height all factor into whether a configuration qualifies, so confirm those specifics with your local building department while the design is still in planning.

02 / SAFETY AND EVERYDAY USE

Is an indoor floating staircase safe for a home with kids or pets?

Yes. Every open riser on an indoor floating staircase is sized so a 4-inch sphere cannot pass through any point of the assembly, the same standard required of any open-riser stair regardless of who uses it daily. Railing options such as a multi-line rod railing add safety coverage along the open sides without closing off the sightline the design is built around.

Do floating staircases feel sturdy, or is there movement when walking on them?

Can the space underneath an indoor floating staircase be used for storage?
