Staircases are often overlooked in home renovations, but they play a crucial role in both functionality and aesthetics. Modernising your staircase can transform the look of your home, making it more stylish. Here are some of the latest design trends to consider.

Floating staircases

One of the most striking trends is the floating staircase. These create an illusion of steps suspended in mid-air, offering a sleek and contemporary look. Paired with glass railings, they provide an open and airy feel to any space.

Mixed materials

Combining materials like wood, metal and glass is becoming increasingly popular. This mix adds texture and interest, creating a unique statement piece in your home. For example, metal railings with wooden steps or glass panels can create a modern yet warm aesthetic.

Bold colours and finishes

Don’t shy away from colour. Painting the risers or the handrails in bold, contrasting colours can make your staircase a focal point. Matte finishes are also trending, giving a sophisticated and understated elegance.

Minimalist design

Clean lines and simplicity are key in modern design. Minimalist staircases with hidden supports and unobtrusive railings help maintain a clutter-free and streamlined look.

Integrated lighting

LED lights integrated into the steps or along the handrails not only enhance the staircase’s visual appeal but also improve safety by illuminating each step.
