A staircase is often the heart of the home.
It can be used to create intrigue and set the tone for the rest of the house, or make a feature out of an often overlooked area.
Many people think that you need to plan a complete staircase overhaul to update the finish, but this isn’t true.
By mixing up your stair parts, you’re able to create a whole new design, without the cost of a full renovation.
Here’s how to give your staircase a makeover.
Change your staircase parts
Swapping out your stair parts is easier than it sounds.
You can change your newel caps, spindles, and handrails to alter the design of the staircase as and when your interior preferences change.
The best part is that you don’t need to enlist the help of a professional, either.
With the proper research and tools, you can switch up your staircase parts quickly and easily, to transform your home in a matter of hours.
If you currently have wooden spindles matching the rest of your stair parts, think about changing them to metal spindles. They are available in a range of finishes and styles and are simple to install.
Alternatively, glass panels are the perfect option if you’re struggling for space and want to create the illusion of a much larger area – switch out your spindles for sections of glass to achieve this.
Opt for paint
Wooden stair parts can be painted and varnished to create a new finish.
For a minimalist design, choose colours that compliment the surrounding walls and woodwork.
If you’d like to make a statement, paint the treads and risers in contrasting colours for a standout design.
Make sure to sand, dust, and clean your staircase before doing this, to create a professional finish that lasts.
Mix up textures and materials
If you’re aiming to create a unique modern style, the easiest way to achieve this is by mixing materials.
Having a wooden base, metal spindles, and glass features create a staircase worthy of a double-take.
You can also add carpet runners up the centre of your flight for extra visual interest. Opt for a neutral tone for balance or a lively pattern to draw the eye, and contrast with the rest of the home.
