For homes which want to maximize space, here is another solution for you. They are the Tansu Chest Stairs, a keen addition that offer storage space as well. All this was made possible thanks to the space or gaps beneath the staircase, an oddly shaped crawlspace where people may store some stuff.

The Tansu Chest Staircase was designed by Damara Ortolani Sisti and Megan Moynihan. The staircase was said to be inspired by the Japanese Tansu Step-Chest or the Kaidan-Dansu Chest, offering unexpected drawers which are magnificently hidden and functional when needed.

For the people in need of fabricated or modified accessibility in their homes, here is an idea. Apparently some folks over in London commissioned some designers to provide a better access point over the old ladder. The product was a permanent staircase that carries a modern design pitch.

The designers made use of welded and painted steel, a steel post and toughened glass to come up with the Loft Access London. Some minor modifications had to be done of course but in the end, the result was a more ideal finish, carrying modern interior designing looks that we see in common day made homes or living spaces.

They were able to conceal all the wiring and electrical equipment, ding the trick on a hard-shaped staircase which should leave you wondering how easy it would be for them to do it on standard stairs.
