It may not lead to heaven but if you design your staircase with some creative thought it can look the part!
A custom built staircase is only limited by the designer’s imagination, and can make use of a wide variety of materials to produce what are often strikingly original forms.
Most of us probably take our staircase for granted and think of it as a simple way to ascend or descend between floors. Stairs usually take center stage at the entrance to our home, so we walk you through the wide range of staircase styles and trends to optimize their performance.
Here are few tips while choosing the right stairs design:
- Style– match your staircase to the style of home
- Needs– do you need storage underneath
- Natural home lighting – staircases can be dark so strategically position windows
- Flooring surface – match your floor with your stairs
- Safety – what are the capabilities of the homeowners eg children/elderly
- Avoid tripping points– differ surfaces on entering and exiting so your body visualizes and feels the change
