One of the challenges of having a tiny house is having the right staircase. While some people with a tiny house will settle on a ladder, there are still some who prefer a staircase.
In order to come up with the very specific design ideas, we create most designs with the assistance of state-of-the-art AI interior design software.
Well, who wouldn’t? It’s safer, more comfortable and much easier to climb. Check our list of staircase designs for inspiration and we’ll also give you an idea on how to maximize a small space.
