Step This Way
The home’s main stairwell sits between the foyer and great room. Going up will take you to the bedrooms and going down leads to the basement game room.

Stylish Stair Runner
The black-and-white carpet runner on the staircase is made from 100% New Zealand wool, so not only does it look nice, it feels soft underfoot and it prevents falls. “The carpet runner helps with safety, so you’re not walking on the hardwood itself,” says build manager Scott Branscom.

Easily Accessible
This view showing parts of the great room, kitchen and breakfast nook illustrates how the location of the staircases makes all levels of the home easily accessible from the main living areas.

In Keeping With the Color Scheme
The staircase coordinates with the home’s black-and-white color palette. Black balusters are sandwiched between white newel posts and bannisters while the white treads and risers are covered in a black/gray wool runner.

Natural Light
The landing in between the first and second floors is outfitted with a set of benches under two large windows. In the evening when the stairwell is not lit with natural light, a vintage-inspired chandelier with leaded-glass reflectors illuminates each step.

Second-Floor View
The upstairs landing is well lit thanks to the double windows in the stairwell. A three-dimensional gallery wall and a vintage-inspired chandelier add tons of personality to this staircase.

Industrial Meets Vintage
This eye-catching light fixture has angled arms holding candelabras with reflective seeded-glass discs reminiscent of a pre-electric chandelier. It may be vintage inspired, but its black-metal finish and clean lines make it totally 21st-century modern-industrial design.

Three-Dimensional Gallery Wall
Designer Tiffany Brooks mixed black-and-white photos of downtown Pittsburgh with sculptural elements to create a chic yet somewhat whimsical art display.

Have a Seat
A pair of upholstered ottomans with round ball legs and coordinating bolster pillows offers a spot to sit and take a call or daydream out the large window.

Craftsman Style
The staircase’s design continues the home’s industrial-Craftsman style. The recessed-paneled newel posts and skirtboards with traditional molding feel very Craftsman-esque, while the straight-lined black balusters and wool runner give the staircase a modern-industrial flair.

Additional Landing
Framed black-and-white abstract art and a potted fiddle-leaf fig plant decorate the landing in between the main level and the basement game room.

Wall-to-Wall Carpet
From the basement level up to the first floor, the stairs are fully covered wall-to-wall with the same black-and-white carpet used for the runner from the first to the second floor.
