Overlooked Design Details: Stairs, Runners, & Sconces

from Dear Alice | Interior Design · host Alice Lane

Stairs are one of the biggest architectural moments in a home, yet the design details are often overlooked. In this episode of our Overlooked Design Details series, we break down everything from stair anatomy and full treads versus end caps to newel posts, balustrades, runners, and stair rods. We also dive into stairwell lighting, including sconces, chandeliers, and art lights, and share how the right materials and details can turn a staircase into a true design feature. If you’re building or renovating, this episode is packed with timeless stair design ideas that make your home feel custom, elevated, and thoughtfully finished.
