Modern staircases for homes in Spain - Design tips to keep in mind

12 January 2026

Spanish architecture is charming, but the staircase solutions are often from past decades. Heavy stone stairs can be steep and uneven in step dimensions.


When updating a home to modern standards, renovating the stairs is one of the best ways to improve the functionality, style, and safety of the space.



Do not compromise on the safety of the stairs

Many original staircases in homes do not meet modern safety standards. Step heights can be inconsistent, and treads may be slippery. Whether renovating an existing staircase or building a new home, it is crucial to design stairs with ergonomically balanced rise and run. This ensures effortless and safe movement for residents of all ages.


We offer Nordic-made Grado staircases, renowned for their durability and quality. Each staircase is meticulously designed to fit the space perfectly, minimizing potential hazards while ensuring the stairs complement the overall style of your home.



Light, space, and style: steel or concrete?

A traditional solid concrete staircase can interrupt sightlines and block natural light from flowing between floors. By replacing such a structure with a modern steel-frame staircase, the space instantly feels more open and airy.


Steel staircases with open treads allow light to pass through, making them ideal for narrower urban apartments and townhouses. When combined with glass balustrades, the staircase transforms from a heavy structure into a visually light design element, connecting floors seamlessly.


Our Grado staircases offer a variety of stunning options to suit any space and design preference.



Durable materials that stand the test of time

Staircases must withstand heavy use while maintaining their elegance year after year. High-quality powder-coated finishes on steel stairs provide a maintenance-free, long-lasting surface for decades. The structures are carefully engineered to retain their shape and quiet operation throughout daily life.


Grado staircases can also be fitted with the same premium wood used for your flooring, creating a cohesive and harmonious look throughout your home. Combining high-quality materials with precise craftsmanship makes the staircase both a beautiful and long-lasting centerpiece.
