These Auckland homeowners wanted an industrial style look for their interior home design. So when it came to building the staircase, handrail and balustrades, we knew the exposed steel in a matte black was going to be the right look for them. ​ Due to the double stringers and concrete treads, this style of staircase is extremely solid and has zero movement, massively reducing noise. Our biggest challenge on this project was that the double stringer staircase was designed with concrete treads that needed to be colour matched to the pre-existing floor.

Glass blocks can be a stylish and functional choice for a shower wall. They offer privacy while allowing natural light to pass through, and they can give your bathroom a modern, sleek look. Visit us at www.sevesglassblockinc.com to shop all of our glass block options.

This striking modern staircase pairs twin metal stringers with thick solid oak treads that appear to float in space. The parallel lines of the stringers combined with the rectangular treads create a strong geometric rhythm, while contrasting tones between metal and wood add visual interest. Echoing the stair design, the horizontal stainless steel rod railing and wood newels reinforce the openness and contrasting tones. The open design maintains transparency and light flow, transforming a simple connection between floors into an eye-catching architectural focal point and perfect example of how thoughtful design can elevate an entire entry space. 1976-2026 © Century Stair Company

The close floor view shows small black hexagons arranged within a white hex-tile field. This repeating mosaic pattern brings French bistro character to the project, linking kitchen and bathroom floors through a consistent geometric detail and clean black-and-white contrast. Cedarstone Renovations connected this Toronto kitchen and bathroom project with black-and-white hex tiles and gold accents. Bathroom updates, a refreshed powder room and repainted kitchen cabinet doors create a coordinated interior with a French bistro influence.

It’s all about creating an experience. Just like the indoors, different areas serve different purposes. When planning your outdoor space and creating distinct areas, one must think of the products and features that will help them distinguish each area. Once your belly is full from all that barbecue, why not wind down by the fire and watch the sunset? Maybe even enjoy some roasted marshmallows for dessert! Adding a space with a fire pit and comfortable seating area is a must when designing for the ultimate outdoor living experience.
