Sculptural curved stair under geometric pendant in oak foyer
About This Design
We pulled the staircase into the spotlight by floating it above oak herringbone and pairing it with a marble pedestal sculpture. The geometric pendant signals modern, while wainscoting and the dark green panel door anchor the room in classical proportions, letting the curve of the stair read as a sculptural moment.
Design Tip
Use one sculptural element at the base of a curved stair to break the visual rhythm of the rise. The marble pedestal here pulls the eye away from stair repetition and gives the foyer a focal point that does not compete with the architecture.

Spatial Approach
The curved staircase floats off a back corner, leaving the foyer open. We placed the marble pedestal sculpture under the rise to draw the eye into the curve, while a tall olive tree fills the space beside the stair without obscuring the railing.
Best For
Designed for a foyer that doubles as a sculptural moment between front door and main living. Suits homes where the staircase is visible from the entry and the homeowner wants the first impression to feel architectural.
