About First Step Designs

"Did you grow up wanting to be a staircase designer?"

In 2014, three friends who shared a passion for bespoke staircases came together to establish First Step Designs. Building on their extensive experience in crafting mass-produced staircases,  they set out to create genuinely unique staircases, pushing the limits of material manipulation.

Today, our portfolio brims with authentically designed and locally crafted staircases, all proudly made in Staffordshire.

“What is it that makes these staircases look better than others online?”

Frequently copied but never replicated – while it may be a well-worn phrase, it precisely defines us. We're not just staircase manufacturers, fabricators, or bench joinery specialists. Our design process plays a crucial role in our workflow, meticulously addressing every detail to achieve a flawless aesthetic in our CAD production planning. We firmly believe that perfection lies in the finer points, and nothing exits our drawing office until it meets our exacting standards.
