There are many decisions to be made when designing and building a new staircase. Besides its practical function, the stairs can also enhance the décor and appeal of your home.  Stair Warehouse, a leading staircase parts provider can help.  Here are a few tips tricks for a flawless staircase design. 

Plan a budget:

Whether you’re building a custom staircase or ordering a standard one, you want to know the total cost of your project before you start. That way, you can keep your expenses in line and help you choose the right materials. For example, wood spindles come in a large range of wood species from Brazilian Cherry and Mahogany to Pine and Poplar. Each one has a different price tag; so if you know what your budget is, you can still get the dream staircase that works for you without compromising on your stair parts.

Design around space safety:

When you're designing a staircase, it's important to take your time and consider safety, space, and style. A spiral staircase or a half turn can be ideal for homes with small spaces, while a modern stair railing can help an interior feel more open. If you have children or visiting elderly family members, make sure there is a landing at the top of long flights of stairs and higher railings for extra safety.  Steps that are less steep are also easier to climb and make for a safer railing.  However, you must stay within your local county code to pass inspection. 

Adding color:

Once you've decided on the layout and design of your new stairs, it’s time to take color into consideration. Depending on where you plan on putting your new stairs, there are many possibilities. For example, consider using natural colors if you are planning on building the stairs into the home’s décor and want them to blend in. You can either match colors or choose neutral ones that complement each other. This works wonderfully with traditional staircases, which are visually built into the house.

For a little extra color, paint the stairs with a bold shade. Use high gloss black paint to create an eye-catching look.  For an extra designer touch, consider painting the spindles on your staircase oil-rubbed bronze and staining the treads light.
