OK, I'm noticing a pattern here. Clearly I find black, red and white sexy. I know why too. It's because I read it was John Taylor of Duran Duran's favorite color combo when I was twelve.

Every time I look at this shot I imagine Woody Allen lounging in the LC4, complaining at a mile a minute to some long-suffering analyst who lines his pockets with Woody's neuroses. But that's they way my brain works. What do you imagine when you look at this space?

Another modern-style detail is to omit the riser entirely. You'll still have a rise, of course (you wouldn't get upstairs without it), but it's just empty space instead of a board. Building a stair this way means you won't be able to hide the supporting structure of the stair: the stringer. In the stair pictured here, the stringer is made of steel. Most wooden staircases have two or three wooden stringers, angled lumber with sawtooth cuts where the treads and risers attach. For safety, a stair that doesn't have a riser should have a thicker tread, like the one shown. This reduces the space between treads. Most codes will not permit an open riser unless the opening is 4 inches or less. Although you'll see stairs that don't follow this rule, a child could crawl through a larger space, so for safety's sake, build to code.

12. Red, black and white. And chrome. This room is the wardrobe of Nicolas Cage's character in Valley Girl turned into interior design. I mean that as the highest compliment.Tell us: Are there any '80s trends you'd like to see come back? How about those you pray will never return? Let us know in the Comments section!
