Careful attention to detail can be the difference between a good home layout and a great one. The color of the carpet and walls, the furniture used and even the staircase to be installed should be conducive to the home’s over-all design.

There have been distinctive changes in the styles of staircases over the years. There are many different stair designs to choose from, and thus you will need time, patience and effort to find the one that suits your home best.

Staircases can now be made from a range of materials. Timber is still the most common material used in the construction of staircases. Another is a mixture of steel rails, supports and glass panels. This creates a distinctly modern look and the sense of open space which many homeowners find appealing.

One of the more popular types of staircase is a straight style which is usually in a single set or an L-shape, with one flight leading from the next. Straight staircases enable quick movement to different floors and they are also a more economic option compared to other types of staircases.

Spiral staircases are a great choice for short spaces such as stairs leading to attics or nooks and crannies with a limited space. Traditional, straight staircases require a great deal of room while a spiral staircase requires minimal space. However, spiral staircases may be difficult for an elderly or disabled person since they have a smaller set-up which could make for a steeper climb.

Freestanding stairs are the type of stairs which are not attached to a wall and will tend to run through the middle of a room. They often look as though they are floating and create a uniquely modern look. On the other hand, these stairs are not very practical for a person with young children as they can be dangerous.

Given the market’s variety of staircases, it can be difficult to narrow down the perfect choice for you and your family. Think about the practicalities that each type of staircase offers before making a choice.
