Metal spindles and a patterned runner feature alongside a wood handrail, baserail and newel to bring a modern twist to this classic straight staircase by Richard Burbidge
Your staircase should not only offer a comfortable journey between storeys, but it will stand strong as arguably the most defining feature of your entrance hallway, wowing guests and setting the tone for the rest of the house. With a wealth of styles and materials out there, choosing the best design for your home requires careful consideration.
You might work alongside your architect or a specialist company to come up with a bespoke stair, or perhaps you’d prefer to choose an off-the-shelf solution that will be adjusted to your unique requirements. Either way, the interior decor scheme and layout of your house is going to have a big impact on the shape and look of the flight that is right for you. “Most staircase projects are defined by four parameters: desired aesthetic, space available, timescales and budget,” says Richard McLane from Bisca.
