In many homes, the staircase is the first thing visitors notice when they enter the front door.

However, despite being a prominent feature, most homeowners neglect the staircase aside from the standard dusting and vacuum.

Staircases are one of the key communal areas of any property with significant and constant use. So, if that’s the case, why not look to create a stunning feature of it? Not only will it be more appealing it will add value, along with a luxurious modern look, adding a wow factor in your home! Here’s how you can do it:

 

Experiment with Colour

 

By experimenting with paint, you can personalise your stairs and bring about a wonderful transformation. You may decide to paint the entire staircase or focus on select parts like the spindles. For a professional looking finish, you should ensure that all the surfaces are clean before painting. Have the old paint and varnish removed before the application of the new decoration.

You can create space and light by using different paint, textures, colours, and shades. Using contrasting shades for the treads and the risers such as a lighter colour on the riser and a darker colour on the tread will create a great look.

 

Be Creative with Carpeting

 

Attractive carpets can work wonders for a tired staircase. Carpeting may be the ideal option for staircases made from MDF, plywood, or concrete. Available in a wide range of colours, designs and textures it means you can be creative!

To add more style, if your staircase is still in good condition, you could carpet the centre of the stairs and paint or vanish the visible areas of the tread.

 

Use Lighting

 

You can give your stairs a new look by installing lighting. Illuminating the staircase will not just create the necessary light, but it will also bring out a stunning effect. You can choose from various staircase lighting options:

  • Linear step lights
  • Illuminated handrails
  • Tread lights
  • Backlighting
  • Up-down lights
  • Hidden lights

 

Install Infinity Glass Balustrades

 

 

Transform your staircase by installing infinity glass balustrades. In commercial and domestic settings, glass balustrades add a touch of class and luxury to any staircase. They allow light to flow freely and create an illusion of space. Infinity glass is easy to clean, making it easy to work with.

The design of balustrades should be such that it discourages children from climbing on it. Some conventional staircases, especially those with wooden railings, do not comply with this requirement. A great solution to this is infinity glass balustrades. They not only add a modern twist but are also sturdy and safe. Any balustrade installed by Sunrock Balconies are designed, built and installed to pass UK Building Control regulations.

Glass has many extraordinary merits for you to discover. An architectural phenomenon, it’s used on millions of balustrades, door canopies, staircases and other features throughout both private and commercial properties across the country.

Whether it’s used internally or externally, there are many benefits that you can reap from opting to having it installed within a building.

As a bespoke design that’s manufactured and fitted to your property’s exact dimensions, you’ll have a custom solution that offers the following notable advantages:

 

It Brings in Natural Light

 

 

No matter where it’s located in your property or office, it will help to bring natural light in. This incredible benefit helps to reduce your energy costs, saving you money in the long term.

But it’s not only the financial benefit that you can take advantage of with this. By bringing natural light into the property you will notice the wonderful atmosphere it creates. As glass absorbs and transmits the light, it adds an undeniable beauty to the building that can’t be ignored.

No longer will you have to rely on artificial lighting – now you have a practical and delightful feature that allows for plenty of natural light to flood into the building.

 

It Adds A Feeling of Space

 

Architectural merits of glass

 

Do you feel as though your home is closed off to its surroundings? By adding infinity glass balustrades (or another glass feature) your property will feel as though it’s been opened up to nature. Adding a feeling of space, you’ll be able to go out and enjoy the outside (or admire it from the interior of the building) no matter what time of year.

This benefit is incredibly prominent when you don’t have a lot of room to play with or you simply want to make more use of the exterior of your property.

 

It Radiates Modern Ambience

 

 

 

Not only does it add more space and bring in more light but it radiates modern ambience. When a building has infinity glass features, it undeniably looks more contemporary and stylish both internally and externally. Transforming the look and the feel of it, it’s unlike any other feature you could add.

Showcasing your property in a unique way, it gives a complete aesthetic look to the structure that you wouldn’t have got from other designs. This rendered aesthetic also allows for easier cleaning throughout the year – a benefit that people often forget about.

 

Final Thoughts

 

So, there you go. Those are just some of the remarkable architectural merits that come with glass. A practical and incredibly sophisticated design choice, you’ll love the benefits that come with it the moment it’s installed in your home or office building.
