Staircase Design – Our Top Tips:

Measure Your Space

The amount of space you have available for your staircase will impact vastly on the design. Larger homes have the benefit of selecting larger and more decorative designs. However, even the most compact staircase designs can offer a real design statement. While you may be restricted on space, you are not restricted on the opportunity to create a beautiful new staircase. Measure and measure again to verify your calculations.

Compliment your Existing Décor

Your staircase should fit seamlessly with your existing home’s style. It then works to compliment your home rather than not fitting in. A top tip is to make sure your staircase matches other wooden furniture or accents. Mixing wood colours and types can sometimes create a poorly designed space and draw attention away from the overall design.
