Tucked away in the vibrant city of San Antonio, this year’s HGTV® Smart Home is all about next-level living, blending cutting-edge tech with jaw-dropping design. With seamless indoor-outdoor spaces, this home is designed for comfort, convenience, and serious wow-factor. And one feature that truly steals the show? The sleek, all-aluminum Trex® Spiral Stair, serving as a stunning link between the home’s upper and lower outdoor living areas.

Elevate Your Outdoor Space with the Trex Spiral Stair

A staircase that’s both stylish and smart? Yes, please. The Trex Spiral Stair isn’t just a way to move between levels—it’s a statement piece. Designed for both beauty and durability, this low-maintenance deck staircase features a 5-foot diameter and a bold Trex Signature® Black powder-coated finish that fits right into the home’s modern vibe. To top it off, the stainless-steel line railing with .25-inch solid rods and custom standoff fittings in marine-grade 2205 stainless steel brings extra durability and a sleek, minimalist aesthetic.

According to HGTV Smart Home 2025 designer Poonam Moore, the Trex Spiral Stair was thoughtfully chosen to enhance both function and form.

My design was inspired by the desire to maximize space, connect the upper deck with the lower deck, while adding a visually striking element to the outdoor areas. It’s not only space-efficient but also creates a dynamic architectural feature that draws the eye and enhances the overall aesthetic of the space.

Stay Cooler* with Trex Transcend® Lineage® Decking

One of the standout details? Trex Transcend® Lineage® decking in the shade Jasper was used throughout the deck and stairs. This decking isn't just gorgeous. It features Trex® SunComfortable™ heat-mitigating technology, engineered to reflect solar energy and reduce heat absorption. Plus, like all Trex decking, Lineage® resists rot, warping, and splintering, so you get long-lasting style with almost no upkeep.

Safety First: A Smarter Staircase Design

A staircase should be as safe as it is stunning, and Trex delivers. The lip-up tread design minimizes the open space between risers to less than four inches, making it one of the safest spiral stairs on the market. This thoughtful feature enhances safety for homeowners and guests while ensuring compliance with the 2021 IRC Building Code.

Smart Lighting for a Brighter Outdoor Experience

What’s better than a beautifully designed staircase? One that lights up the night. The Wi-Fi-enabled LED lighting kit adds warmth, visibility, and ambiance, making the entire space feel even more inviting after sunset. This smart feature is the perfect complement to this high-tech home, giving homeowners effortless control over their outdoor lighting.

Your Dream Backyard: Built to Last

More than just a staircase, the Trex Spiral Stair is part of a carefully curated backyard retreat that blends style and sustainability. By incorporating Trex outdoor living solutions, this year’s HGTV Smart Home 2025 delivers an outdoor space that’s just as durable as it is breathtaking. Whether you’re hosting friends, unwinding with a book, or soaking up the scenery, the Trex Spiral Stair makes every moment feel a little more special.

*Trex® decking with SunComfortable™ Technology stays cooler than our original boards, but like all decking, it will get hot in direct sun on hot days, especially darker colors. Care should be taken to avoid extended contact between exposed skin and the deck surface, especially with young children and those with special needs.
