This couple had been using the unfinished basement as an exercise and storage area. They wanted to clean it up and make it more comfortable and usable for all their requirements, such as get togethers, relaxation, and storage. This included making half the basement a large exercise room, including a padded floor. The other half a comfortable living and entertainment area, with TV and fireplace for coziness and entertainment for family and friends. Extras included a bar, with sink and fridge, washroom, close to the activities, and proper lighting for all events. They were both happy with the results that resulted in a warm and friendly environment.

Gracefully curving through the home, this stunning stair is more than just an access point. It’s an experience. White oak handrail guides the hand upward, following the gentle sweep of the steps. The white risers balance the white oak treads, while the black metal balusters add a contemporary touch. Painted risers provide contrast to the warm oak treads, while black metal balusters introduce a crisp, contemporary edge. Framed by tall windows and illuminated by pendant lighting, the staircase becomes a study in precision and balance, where light, material, and form come together. 1976-2026 © Century Stair Company

The curved staircase at Modern Manor by JMAD brings sculptural movement to the interior. Light wood treads follow the sweep of a textured white stair wall, while a continuous black handrail and slender balusters trace its changing silhouette. The interplay of solid surfaces and open railings gives this custom staircase a striking presence from every angle.

A single curve does a lot of work here. Rising from the main level to a wraparound balcony above, this staircase earns its place at the center of the home — not just structurally, but visually. Black iron balusters and handrails push against crisp white risers in a contrast that feels deliberate rather than decorative. The open floor plan gives it room to breathe, letting the curve read as architecture rather than furniture. The result is a staircase that creates movement even when no one is on it. 1976-2026 © Century Stair Company

This staircase is a study in black and white. Traditional, white-painted box newels and white risers establish a classic foundation, while black-stained treads and a sleek black handrail with gooseneck transitions bring contemporary edge. Black-painted vertical balusters complete the modern balustrade system, creating clean lines throughout. Positioned between large windows, the staircase floats in natural light that reaches all levels of the home, including the basement below. The result is an elegant space where traditional elements and modern details come together in striking harmony. 1976-2026 © Century Stair Company
