In small, tiny, or "right sized" homes, you don't want to sacrifice usable space if you can avoid it. That's why you see so many ladders leading to the lofts of tiny homes. It's the perfect solution for some, but others may want something that makes loft access more, well, accessible. The idea of negotiating a steeply pitched ladder in the middle of the night might deter many otherwise would-be small home owners. I'm going to discuss space saving stairs and ladders including ship's ladders, alternating step stairs, and spiral stairs.
