Houses with open floor plans are some of my favorites. I love the sight lines that it creates and the “elbow room”.

Open staircase designs allow for a really beautiful entryway in a large home like this

One feature that many homes do not have, including some homes with open floor plans, is an open staircase design.

I enjoy seeing the variations of craftsmanship involved that showcase beautiful newel posts, handrails, and balusters. Show me lots of iron and you’ve got a fan!Open staircase designs invite you to visit the terrace and/or upper level.

These days finished basements are a major part of the living space with a man-cave, media room and/or a fitness room in many homes. They’re not just deep, dark caves to store a bunch of stuff anymore.

A finished basement can be more like your own personal retreat. But that’s another post for another day.

Here's the use of iron balusters as a part of open staircase designsThe staircases I’m showing here are slight variations of a true open staircase design, some of which “float”, but they aren’t hidden behind a closed door either.

I think stairwell is the word I’m looking for when I speak of enclosed staircases.

What I mean by all of that is in a typical home the staircase leading to the basement is more often than not, behind a closed door. So you never really know if a bathroom, a closet, a bedroom or the basement staircase lies behind the door.

That’s why open staircase designs are so appealing. Staircases that lead to the upper level while facing the front entryway seem to crowd the foyer. Having them more towards the center of the house is a much better design.

Open staircase designs give the builder the opportunity to showcase a true open floor plan

I started as a home-stalker… visiting brand new homes under construction in the neighborhoods near my house. That inspired me to write about home building and home renovation projects — chronicling homes during different phases of construction from a consumer's point-of-view. Basically, the tips you'll find in my articles are a collection of checklists for what I think should (and should not) go into building or remodeling a quality home.

LynnetteMy husband and I have been through the home building process... from scratch... more than once! (And we still have a few pieces of property that we might build on in the future.) So we definitely have some helpful tips to share when it comes to designing your dream home and building a house from the ground up. We've also learned that the 'fun' doesn't end once the house is built. Our clever home maintenance hacks will save you time and money each year that you live in the home. And... since everyone's house eventually needs a little remodeling (as has ours), we've got some ridiculously helpful home renovation tips as well! Whenever I’m not DIYing something around the house or adding to my Dream Home Wish List, you can find me at the corner of Good News & Fun Times as publisher of The Fun Times Guide (32 fun & helpful websites).
