imagine your

dream stairs

modern

These staircases have clean lines with a geometrical feel. Overall, they are very minimal with metal or glass and wood railings. You may be leaning toward this style if you favor minimalist interior design.

rustic

In order to capture the natural feel, rustic staircases have wood with a lot of color variation or mineral deposits and medium to large knots. Woods are generally graded as 1, 2, or 3. Grade 1 is very clean with no knots. Grade 3 is on the opposite end with a lot of character and variation.

traditional

An all wood system is common for traditional staircases. These may have square newels, turned balusters, and an elaborate railing profile. You may even notice wainscotting on the wall with different types of detailed moldings.

cabled

Horizontal stainless steel cables with termination fittings are what make cabled staircases stand out. They may have metal or wood posts, and the Cable size itself can range between 1/8” or 3/16” for a more modern look.

spiral

If your home has limited space or you want the staircase itself to take up a smaller footprint in the layout, a spiral staircase may be the best option for your space. A round system like this is usually used in an area where a conventional staircase will not work due to spatial constraints.
