4 Ways To Add More Flair To Your Stairs

Spindles are a lovely classic feature on a traditional-style staircase, but they also hold so much potential for those looking for something a little different with various styles to choose from.

You can also contrast colours by - for example - deciding upon metal spindles with a black powder coated finish set against oak handrail, or you could opt for a mixed material spindle or baluster with a beautiful variety of different woods and finishes to give a truly unusual and elegant look.   

You could even do away with spindles altogether and instead install tasteful sheets of toughened glass infill in their place. The major benefit of choosing a glass balustrade is that it allows a greater flow of light and opens the space.



For an even more daring effect, create your own stairway to heaven by replacing standard risers with toughened glass too - in order to further increase the avenues through which light can travel and to give each tread that glorious floating feeling. You don’t need to stick with plain toughened glass either - different finishes, colours and designs are available.

You can even opt for beautiful decorative handrail caps and brackets. Whether you prefer a smooth contemporary curve or a classical floral design, these bespoke staircase options offer a way to include style and beautiful touches that family members and guests will really admire.

If you want to add a little more design to your staircase, there is no better way to do so than to add a gorgeous hand carved decorative finial to crown a newel post. More detailed than standard newel post caps, a finial is a purely aesthetic touch to add, and works particularly well when added to a traditional style wooden staircase.
