Double-Height Foyer with Floating Staircase
About Foyer Interiors
Common questions from homeowners.
It is the double-height space with a floating white staircase set against tall glass. The stairs seem to hang in mid-air, and the extra ceiling height makes the entrance feel open and impressive.
The treads are cantilevered off the wall with a slim gold railing, so there is no bulky base underneath. That gives it the light, floating look while still being a proper staircase.
A pair of curved cream lounge chairs and a small table turn the foyer into a spot to pause or greet guests, rather than just a passage. The plants and rug make it feel warm and lived-in.
It is a decorative sun-style mirror that acts as the artwork for the entrance, bouncing light around and giving the tall wall a focal point.
It needs the right structure and ceiling height, but it can often be planned in. Share your entrance layout and the designer will tell you what is possible and design it around your space.
