Despite being a major traffic thoroughfare, when it comes to design and decoration, 'staircases are one of the most frequently overlooked areas of a home,’ says Hugo Tugman, architectural expert at Architect Your Home. ‘As it’s often the first thing people see when they walk through your front door, your staircase’s visual impact can reflect upon the entire property.’
