Modern wooden stairs
Wooden stairs are timeless. In other words: always fashionable. However, trends regarding their shape, color and additional decorative elements are changing. Which stairs are fashionable in 2025? Let’s check it out!
How to design modern stairs in a single-family home? You can seek help from an interior design expert or read about current trends and compare the information you gather with what suits your taste.
Minimalism currently reigns supreme in interiors. The principle of designing houses and apartments in this style also includes wooden stairs. The most popular choices are simple, geometric shapes of treads combined with a tempered glass balustrade or the one supplemented with simple wooden balusters.
The colors are dominated by timeless natural shades, as well as white and black, which have been among the most fashionable colors for modern home stairs for several years now. In addition, bold color accents such as navy blue or dark green are fashionable.
Modern interior wooden stairs – what are they like?
- Made of combined materials. For example, a popular option is to combine wood with metal or a glass panel instead of traditional balusters.
- Intelligent. We are increasingly keen to use intelligent home systems, so modern interior stairs often have LED lighting with motion sensors, for example.
- Nature-friendly. Ecology is in fashion, so modern stairs inside the house are those that have been manufactured in accordance with the policy of sustainable development.
- Personalized. When choosing custom-made stairs, for example from SOWOSZ , you have the opportunity to adjust their dimensions to your needs so that they perfectly fit your space.
The location of stairs in a single-family home is also not obvious. If you already have a finished design, the stairs are obviously included in it, but if you decide on a custom design, you can influence where the stairs will be in your home. The dominant solution is to place them somewhere in the circulation route (e.g. in the corridor or in the space between the entrance and the living area). Meanwhile, an interesting solution is a modern staircase in the living room. They are chosen primarily by owners of small houses, where the best use of available space is important, and the space under the stairs can also be used in some interesting way.

Modern attic stairs
Modern stairs in a single-family home with an attic are often openwork stairs. They are characterized by the lack of risers, which makes them seem exceptionally light. They fit perfectly into minimalist, loft-style interiors, and their additional, undeniable advantage is that they let in more light. They will work well not only as modern attic stairs, but also as a connection between the ground floor and the mezzanine.
In the case of unused attics, we offer our clients modern goose step stairs made of spruce wood. Functional, aesthetic, practical wherever we are limited by space and want to optimally utilize the space.
Winder stairs – modern and very practical
They are still the most popular because they make good use of space in single-family homes.
At SOWOSZ you can order, among others:
- Modern single-flight stairs ‒ simple, useful and beautiful, but they require quite a lot of space, so they are installed primarily in large, innovative houses.
- Modern two-flight stairs ‒ Our offer includes, among others, L-shaped, U-shaped or bottom-winding staircases, i.e. those that start directly at the winding section.
- Modern self-supporting stairs ‒ especially popular in modernist architectural designs where we are dealing with open space and we want to achieve the effect of lightness. Their construction does not require the stairs to be screwed to the wall, but only to the ceiling and floor.
When designing modern wooden stairs, also remember about any skirting boards. You can choose a straight strip running diagonally along the entire flight of stairs or copy the shape of the steps. You can also omit the skirting board. Neither option will be a fashion faux pas.
Wooden stairs – simple and modern
Nowadays, the emphasis is on minimalism of form and moderation in accessories. Modern-style stairs do not have decorative balusters, although you can afford a fancy balustrade, for example, openwork or glass. In general, the balustrade is an element that largely reflects the style in which the stairs were made. Not only glass and openwork accessories are in trend, but also slatted balusters and modern stairs without handrails. There is also a popular trend of interior design in the spirit of nature: using natural materials and earthy colors. In line with this trend, we still create modern wooden stairs with a wooden balustrade, although usually simple, without additional decorations.
Remember that trends are trends, but it’s your home, your stairs and your choice. At SOWOSZ we will create wooden stairs for you, tailored to your interior. Regardless of whether they are fashionable or not necessarily fit into the interior design catalogues for 2025!
