Wooden staircase as a design element

The interior staircase is an important element in the home. Not only is it useful for accessing the upper level, but with the help of a designer, it can become the centrepiece of the home. And if wood comes into the mix, everything can become special, warm, inviting. So wooden stairs are often a designer's first choice.

The styles that can be chosen for such a staircase are countless. The important thing is that it is in keeping with the house, with the other decor, and does not clash with it. For example, a rustic house should still have a rustic staircase, or at least a few elements that suggest the rustic: steps made of thick, slightly worked planks, reclaimed wood as a step or counter-step, as natural a finish as possible.

Spiral staircases can be so spectacular that they can become that central element I was talking about. Made of wood alone or combined with other materials (metal, cement, glass), with a central pillar or made in such a way that they seem to float, spiral staircases are fascinating.

Staircases create, through their construction and positioning, spaces that can be used for relaxation or storage. Designed as a whole, they become central spaces in the home that everyone enjoys and appreciates.

Sometimes staircases can attract precisely by their simplicity. Minimalist in construction, looking like pieces of wood floating against the wall, they fascinate with their discreet design.

Even if the staircase is simple, classic, it can be integrated into the atmosphere of the house through elements that link it to other furnishings. With the help of a few planks that run from the current handrail and continue along the wall in the form of poles, you can create a space that becomes warm and pleasant.

The wooden stairs also give us the possibility to set up spaces to store various things. Perhaps the most ingenious arrangement is in the form of shelves with increasing heights. This forms a library in steps and also solves the problem of access to the next level.

But it's not just the library that can act as a staircase. An entire living room can be designed based on access to the attic.

There are also situations where the staircase has a life of its own, unrelated to the other elements of the house. In this case it can be customised according to one's talents and desires. In this way, it can become a painting... in steps,

or a way of getting various messages across.

The interior staircase may be more than just the ability to access the floor. It can be a design element, a storage space, a part of the décor or a place to show off your talent or original ideas. If you have such a staircase, don't miss the opportunity to show it off.
