Staircase Design Ideas

The staircase is obviously an important feature of any multi-storey home and there are a range of components needed to create it including treads, risers, stringers, balusters and handrails, and each of these elements come in a wide range of finishes and designs, making it sometimes overwhelming to select the one that's right. So, join me now as we take a look at a range of staircase designs to help you get started towards selecting the one that's perfect for your home.

So there you have it... a range of staircase designs from Coastal to Contemporary, from Hamptons to Modern even a staircase designed with a modern take on the Industrial style. Each of these staircases have been beautifully manufactured and installed by Genneral Staircase and each of them have been designed to suit the house style and architecture. My advice, as you select your staircase design, is to consider first the location and architecture of your home, then look at the rest of the finishes that you've used throughout your home - the flooring, the joinery, even the window colours can all help influence your selections.

Finally, when you put a staircase in your own home you need one built with quality, and that's the reason why I’ve been happy bringing my clients to Genneral Staircase for 20+ years.
