A modern staircase can be a beautiful and memorable part of any home, a symbol of strength and everlasting memories. Remodeling your staircase is a wonderful option to change up your home décor with a fresh new look. Here are five modern staircase remodel trends currently popular for residential spaces.
Remodeling a Modern Staircase
Metal Finishes
Metal is more durable than glass, wood, and other materials. Aluminum, stainless steel, galvanized steel, and wrought iron all offer unique touches for a staircase remodel. Remodeling your stair railings, spindles, and/or newel posts with custom-made metal finishes exudes a timeless durable modern staircase.
Glass Staircase Balustrade
A glass staircase balustrade is contemporary and elegant. Glass reflects light; it makes even the smallest spaces appear bigger, brighter, and more open. Tempered glass is durable, low maintenance, and pairs well with cable, wood, and metal handrails.
Library Staircase
Add extra storage space for your books by installing a staircase library, (and maybe a small cozy sitting nook). Built-in shelving compartments are practical and convenient to hide away and get some good reading done. Everyone will want to hang out downstairs in the “book nook.”
All Black
Black can be easily combined with any other design or style in your home. An all-black modern staircase of metal and/or painted wood creates an ultra-lux contemporary look and exudes sophistication. Choose from a wide selection of finishes.
Timber Staircases
Timber boards are extremely sturdy and easy to construct. Wood, such as timber, can be custom-made and produce a beautiful rustic-style railing system. It is important to discuss maintenance with a stair professional because timber can bend, crack or decay without proper care.
Expert Tips for Staircase Remodeling
Material Choice
Think hard about the types of materials you want in your staircase remodel. For example, if the stair treads (steps) of your staircase are in excellent condition, it might be best to leave them as they are. This is a great opportunity to focus on custom handrails, balusters, and newel posts for your staircase. Think engravings, signature designs, and other custom parts.
