Stairway to Heaven

Your staircase offers an insight to the overall aesthetic of your home.

Providing, as it does the connection between multiple living areas this centrepiece should not be overlooked when planning the interior design of your abode.   

Contemporary architecture demands stairs which harmonise with the overall style, and that is why the diverse range of designs available today is far from turning this piece into a simple architectural functional element, but into beautiful stand-alone design object.  A staircase can showcase, creativity, design, quality and innovation; fundamental factors when it comes to creating your desired overall effect.

Design

Designers who want to evoke an elegant environment opt for a modern design. For example, precise cantilever structures that reflect the spirit of their time and contemporary glass stairs that visually enlarge the space of the room in which they are located. The glass panelling enhances transparency and lightness, while the metal or wooden stairs create a sense of stability. Stairs offer a great opportunity for creative freedom, while fulfilling their basic function.

Location

When considering design, it's important to think about the placement of stairs in your home, as it can separate key areas of the home and create a much more dynamic living environment. It is also vital to have a conversation with your architect about the ways in which the staircase can provide an opportunity for structural innovation, joining the architectural gap between design and engineering. Furthermore we would also like to add, that when choosing a design, it is necessary to consider how it will look in the future; a well-placed and cleverly designed staircase will never appear outdated.

Lighting

Another aspect to consider in relation to the staircase is lighting. As mentioned, a glass staircase increases the feeling of light in your home and makes spaces appear larger. The use of LED lighting on open steps and adjoining areas creates a stunning effect by day which becomes a spectacular feature by night. Alternatively, you can take on the challenge of emphasising the use of natural light around the staircase.

In general, the design of the staircase can influence the choice of other materials in your home; they not only physically join the floors of the house, but also have the potential to provide an aesthetic connection that runs through all the main elements of your home.

In summary ,we believe that this heavenly design element should be one of the premier considerations when designing your dream home.
