Home design - mid-sized transitional home design idea in Albuquerque

A whole-home remodel that blends Pacific Northwest craftsman roots with clean, modern lines. A custom vertical wood slat screen wraps the staircase and dining area, filtering light while framing views straight through to a stacked stone fireplace. The open kitchen pairs rich espresso-stained cabinetry with warm granite counters, a fluted wood island face, and dual skylights that flood the space with natural light. Brass and black pendant lighting adds a warm, layered glow throughout. Down the hall, bathrooms continue the story with forest-green shaker vanities, Calacatta-style quartz counters, and a sage herringbone tile shower — proof that classic Portland charm and contemporary design can live under one roof.

Staircase - modern staircase idea

This striking floating staircase brings contemporary elegance to a transitional home. Thick maple treads feature a two-tone finish—walnut brown stain from the front, while the other sides match the mono-beam stringer below. The open-riser design maintains complete transparency, allowing natural light and architectural finishes to shine through. The extended glass panels, secured to the treads with stainless steel pins, create a seamless transparent balustrade. A graspable handrail rises with the stairs, providing both safety and comfort. The switchback configuration rises through the space with minimal visual interruption, proving that structural innovation and elegant simplicity can work in perfect harmony. 1976-2026 © Century Stair Company
