Oak & Glass Staircase in Entrance Hall
Oak & Glass Staircase in Entrance Hall
Janey Butler InteriorsJaney Butler Interiors
A newly created Entrance Hall in this Award Winning Barn Renovation Interior. Replacing the very dated central staircase which was overpowering to the eye and took up all of this space. This Handmade Oak and Glass Staircase was designed to create more space and allowing more natural light into this Entrance area. Indian Limestone Tiles were laid on the whole of the Barn Ground floor which was all underfloor heated. A calming colour palette was used and a gorgeous carpet for the staircase and whole of the up floor in a gorgeous colour tone. A now wonderful bright, private, light and open space for our lovely clients and their young family to enjoy.

The change and the transition from the old and outdated staircase was amazing. The glass panels from our Urbana collection were the right choice to replace the painted spindles. Stair parts used: *From the Urbana collection: rake glass panels, base rail and handrails, newel post caps, newel base connector, and a bolt cover. *From the square collection: Square newel post

Staircase Design Ideas with Wood Risers

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.
