It’s so easy to overlook the staircase when you’re planning a home refurbishment project, which is a real shame when a carefully designed staircase could actually be a stunning centrepiece. A staircase is so much more than a means of access; it can make the journey from one level to another into a more thrilling adventure. A hard or softwood staircase could be a beautiful addition to your home that you and your guests can admire for years to come.

There’s so much more to designing a staircase than picking a banister rail and deciding the width and depth of the treads. Working alongside a specialist joiner will help you to pay attention to every aspect of your new staircase. Each and every spindle and newel post will be carefully considered and crafted in line with your expectations.

Hand railings can be crafted from a variety of woods in a simple, elegant or elaborate design and with a range of finishes available it really is an opportunity to put your stamp on a property. You might even decide to finish the handrail with a flourish in the form of a monkey tail.

When it comes to designing a staircase one thing’s for sure, everything about it will be made to measure and handcrafted by skilled craftsmen. A new staircase isn’t something you plan every day after all. Working closely with your joiner will ensure that every component, from the hand rails and spindles to the newels are designed with your vision in mind.

It is certainly the case that no two staircases are the same. Whether you need your new flight of stairs to be compact and space-saving or an arresting centrepiece in your entrance hall, there are a great many stair configurations which your joiner will be conversant with.

 
Only by speaking to an experienced and knowledgeable joiner will you be able to ensure that your every need is met and every query is answered in full. If you are carefully considering the idea of a beautiful new staircase, you need to talk to a specialist such as Stuart Simpson of S Simpson Joinery who will be able to guide you from concept to completion.
