Are you looking to create a new set of stairs in the home?

If so, you need a reputable staircase company in Bellshill!

Designing a new staircase is exciting. There are not many time that as a homeowner, you would do this but, with such an important interior architectural influence, it is important to get the design of the staircase right.

In some cases, this can be easier said than done. And so, bearing this in mind, we have created a quick guide to how to design your staircase:

• The Brief

In the first instance, you need to create a brief. In the case of a staircase, it will be one or two sentences that summarise why you need a staircase, where it will be located and what is the overall design appeal that you feel it needs to have.

For example, your staircase will connect the ground floor to the first floor of a barn conversion. It will be situated in the middle of an open plan room, and will be made from wood that will work with the rest of the wood dominated room.

• Shape

Straight, L shaped, circular or cantilevered – there are all kinds of choices when it comes to shape. There are pros and cons to each one but, in the main the choice is entirely yours.

For example, many people associated circular staircases as being narrow, winding and rickety. Today, modern bespoke circular staircases offer width when walking up and down the stairs, as well as being steady and sound.

• Material

As any staircase company in Inverness will tell you, the amount of materials on offer today is the widest it has ever been.

Many people still opt for the timeless elegance of wood. Again, various woods will give different impressions. Beech, light in shade is perfect for minimalist interior design and oak tends to sit well in older style properties. 

Metals are also popular, from the ornate and malleable iron, to the brushed, minimalist appeal of aluminium. Again, the choice is yours.

For those seeking the wow factor, why not opt for glass?

Or, better still, combine materials to give a truly unique look.

• Budget

Of course, you need to keep one eye on the budget and this is where a reputable and experienced staircase company in Inverness can help. They will match your aspirations, with your budget.
