This elegant bespoke staircase in Cameron House is a fine example of the creativity of the Kevala Stairs team. It enhances the glamorous interior of this imposing new development in Ascot. The original walnut staircase, a standard L-shape, with square newel posts and spindles, did not reflect the airiness of the spacious entrance hall. Given a free hand by the client, the design team created a flowing staircase, complementing solid walnut with elements of white, to create a light and graceful structure which enhances rather than dominates the space. The staircase’s entry grand double bull nose is elegantly flared, and spans an impressive 1.9 meters. A true helical arch with a multi-radius inner curve was incorporated to give the staircase a gracious fluidity. The solid walnut winding treads were combined with white risers, and white baserail and strings. Structural integrity and support are provided by 50 mm mortised strings. Kevala’s designers are concerned to ensure that every element, down to the last detail, provides a harmonious whole. Here this is visible in the horizontal scroll in walnut looping around the entry newel post, and the petite domed walnut caps on the white newel posts which provide a perfect finish. Approximately eight meters of matching curved galleries were installed. Full templates were supplied to the developer to enable the formation of precise curved structural openings on the first floor. This ensured that when the curved gallery was delivered, it could be installed and fitted with absolute accuracy. A secondary staircase leading from first floor to the attic area was also fitted, and design elements used for the main helical staircase were repeated, creating integral unity.

Mid-sized Staircase Design Ideas with Wood Railing

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.
