If you can touch your ceiling, your home is either too small or you’re too tall — perhaps both. At 5-foot 9-inches, I’m about average height and there are still cabinets in my home that are beyond my reach, even when I’m on my tippy-toes. To reach the top shelf, I need help. A chair, perhaps? No. Worker’s Comp organizations make posters that say “Don’t you dare stand on a chair” on them. You can even read hundreds of falling-from-chair horror stories in the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s accident log. Climbing on the counter is similarly daunting.
The solution is a nice-looking stepladder, which you might (wrongly) believe to be an oxymoron. Usually relegated to the garage, the unsightly contraptions hide in darkness, gathering cobwebs and dust, until there’s a top-shelf conundrum. How about we skip the garage bit? These nine stepladders will help you move up in the world and don’t look terrible doing it.

Xtend & Climb’s home series of stepladders is made of industrial-grade aluminum that’s lightweight and sleek. The stepladder has a slim profile so it can be stowed away in tight places.

Frontgate Ultralight Slimline 2-Step Ladder
Frontgate ladders come in a variety of bold colors so they’re a standout piece as much as they are functional. The seven-pound ladder has nonslip steps and rubber feet for extra safety.
Sorfey Aluminum/Bamboo Folding 3 Step Ladder
A similar shape to the Frontgate, Sorfey’s stepladder is about the same price with an extra step. The black frame and wood-like platforms are a nice design touch.
