Contemporary Staircases
Contemporary staircases are a mix of traditional style mixed with clean modern design. Simple wooden slabs or planks stained custom colors will create a contemporary staircase with a warm and inviting feel. Bamboo is also being used as an option for building materials. Wrought iron and stainless steel are being used for an industrial and modern look. Stainless steel and economical galvanized steel railing systems are modular design and require no welding or polishing and can be paired with a stainless or wooden handrail. Galvanized steel is used to create custom paint colors and finishes.
Modern Staircases
When building a modern staircase one option to consider is a high-quality designer carpet that can withstand a high volume of traffic. A pattern can create a new focal point to a staircase if there is a prominent staircase in your home. Laminate stair treads are also an option that gives your step a professional, finished look. Laminate treads fit over the entire step and are more durable than hardwood steps. They come in a variety of colors and designs to match any decor.
Traditional Staircases
Traditional staircase design covers a range of architectural styles. Selecting a staircase design depends on the space available and the interior architecture of the home. The choices and combination of stairs can be created with intricate wood detailing or straight functional lines.
