I’ve lived in several multi-story homes, some with beautiful staircases, but I never noticed anything unusual — until recently. After moving into a new house, I started looking at details more closely. That’s when I noticed something odd: one baluster on the staircase was installed upside down. At first, I assumed it was a mistake, maybe a lazy or distracted carpenter.
But I was wrong. It turns out this isn’t an accident at all. In fact, many builders intentionally flip a single baluster upside down. This quiet act isn’t about aesthetics or function — it’s about legacy. Some say it’s rooted in old traditions, symbolizing the idea that only a higher power can create something perfect. So by intentionally “flawing” their work, craftsmen paid humble tribute to that belief.
