To begin the entry transformation, we removed the wall to wall, plush stairway carpeting. Then we had the railing and stair tread repainted in black enamel. A fresh coat of white paint was applied to the stringers and risers. To complete the look we installed a new iron pendant and painted the walls with Benjamin Moore paint.

This home was built in the early 90's and it had all the standard builder characteristics of that era. The trim, doors, staircase and cabinets were sanded down on the entire man floor to prepare for paint. We were able to incorporate a main floor office with an updated entry staircase to give them home a grand entrance.

The homeowner wanted a runner that lightened up the floor-- it is made of a subtle stripe wool carpet. Whenever making a stair runner, especially one so light in color it is always a good idea to order enough to redo at least a few stairs down the line-- inexpensive and good insurance!

Our Ledgestone Collection details a gorgeous accent wall next to the staircase. These panels are constructed in an interlocking-shaped form for a beautiful installation free of jarring seam lines and without grouting needed. The natural finish is apparent in its robust surface and makes it a great choice for most applications. Natural Stone panels give a great strength character to any area, as well as the tranquility of nature. They can be used indoors or outdoors, commercial or residential, for just details of great extensions as facades, feature walls, pool surroundings, waterfalls, courtyards, etc.

Mid-sized Staircase Design Ideas

A staircase isn’t just a structural element that links two floors – it can also help define your style, make a statement, and turn your entryway into a grand entrance. There are a growing range of materials and staircase designs to cater to your personal style and the size of your space. Here are some quick tips to consider while browsing images of staircase designs on Houzz.

What type of staircase works best for me?

The first consideration when planning a stair design is space. A double-sided staircase, for instance, will only work in a large area; whereas an L-shaped staircase or straight staircase are more compact options. The next step in the stair design is deciding on a style. Elliptical or curved stairs offer elegance, while spiral stairs can appear more urban. If you want a contemporary design, floating stairs are a great way to circulate light.

What balustrade and handrail options are available?

Balustrades and handrails are important for safety but also allow you to get creative with your stair design. Many staircases are built up against a wall – if that’s the case, the wall itself can act as a balustrade; it will just need an attached handrail. Glass balustrades are great if you want to show off your staircase as an architectural feature, whereas a timber balustrade tends to be a more timeless option. Metal balustrades are versatile in that they can be industrial, elegant or quirky. Consider functionality, too, especially if you have kids. An open railing, for instance could become a safety hazard.

What type of material should I use for stair treads?

Timber stair treads are strong and timeless, but aren’t suited to those with indoor pets as they’ll show up scuffs. Carpeted or stone stair treads are more traditional options, whereas stainless steel and glass can be quite contemporary. Concrete stair treads are increasingly popular for those looking to create a sculptural masterpiece out of their staircase – just imagine the effect of floating concrete stairs, daringly cantilevered. Also consider using a combination of materials to create visual interest.
