Modernizing the Backbone of Your Staircase

When it comes to designing a modern staircase, it is only obvious to start working on the front. The risers, treads and handrails are all important components to consider in the creation of your stairs, but the back of your staircase is important too. Especially when the back of your staircase is left open for the world to see!

Sure, the first and most important role of the back of your stairs is to provide support, but who says this component can’t be both functional and attractive to the eye?
