21 Staircases That Are Amazingly Artful and Can Put You in an Aesthetic Coma

Nowadays, the most outstanding artworks are pretty far from the rooms of museums. Street artists stole the art scene — their names are familiar to everyone and their works are sold for millions of dollars. They don’t imprison the art in cold halls of galleries — they transform the urban environment around them, making boring gray walls bright and lively. This article is all about creative people who dared to decorate places that most of us wouldn’t even think of decorating.

We at Bright Side are totally in love with street art. This time, our attention was caught by painted stairs and we have collected 21 of the best works of stair art for you. Scroll down and enjoy!
