Pro Tips Before You Start

1. Choose the Right Stair Profile
Decide whether your model calls for straight, curved, or broken stairs. 
Think about footprint and angle: do you need a tight spiral or a gentle incline?

2. Pick Your Materials Colors
Smooth vs. textured bricks will change the look and feel of each step. 
Use contrasting colors for step treads and risers to make the staircase pop.

3. Build a Solid Base
Start with a baseplate or sturdy bracket pieces to anchor your stairs. 
For floating steps, use transparent supports or hinge plates for stability.

4. Add Functional Extras
Railings, banisters, or flick-fire bricks can double as decorative handrails. 
Incorporate accessories like torches, foliage, or signage to give your stairs character.

5. Optimize for Speed
Keep your parts list concise—limit yourself to 5–7 unique elements per technique.
Pre-sort bricks by color and size so you can build each stair in under a minute.
