The staircase of any home has the potential to make a statement but just think about the type of statement made by a unique custom staircase design, something truly unmatched. A custom staircase design can really enhance the value and beauty of your home, giving your house the sense of character you’ve been looking for. And while elaborate and detailed staircases do take time and skill to design and assemble, many homeowners are pleased when they find out that the planning process is nowhere near as complex of a process. In fact, with some determination and a clear vision in mind, planning the design for your own custom staircase can be a simple and fun process! To make things easy, we have simplified the process of custom staircase design down to four basic steps in order to show you how you can have success with your custom staircase design experience!
- Step one: Figure out what inspires you. As with any custom design project for your home, a great idea begins with inspiration. You may already have a vision in mind of what you want the finished product to look and feel like, or, like many homeowners, you might just know what type of material you want your staircase constructed out of. Whatever the case may be with your home, be sure to ask your staircase design contractor a few important questions, including:
- What are the themes and elements of the interior design of your home?
- What will the interior dimensions and space layout inside your home allow for in terms of staircase design?
- Will a straight or a curved custom staircase make the most sense for your house?
- What styles of balusters and riser treads are most attractive to you?
- Step two: Choose your staircase product. After gathering the necessary information to get a solid understanding of what type of custom staircase you want for your home in the inspiration phase, the next step to tackle is choosing the specific layout and design you want for your stairs. Your stairs contractor will walk you through the various choices and help you select the best option for your home based upon your unique styles and tastes.
- Step three: Picking your style. Every custom staircase design conveys a sense a style, so the next step includes determining what specific style you want your staircase design to be built in. Four of the common style choices include Craftsman style, Traditional, Modern, and Ornamental Metal.
- Curved staircase: A curved staircase is a popular choice for custom designs, as a round staircase brings a unique sense of elegance to a home, and can be made in many different shapes and layouts.
- Straight staircase: The classic straight staircase design can beautifully complement a home with a modern sense of style.
- Step four: Complete the collaborative design process with delivery and installation. Once you have completed the design portion of the process with your staircase design team and the all the necessary parties approve the plans, your staircase will be ready for construction and installation! And based on your needs and personal level of construction skills, you can choose a delivery and installation method that works best for you.
Whether you just want the staircase delivered to your home to be installed by a trim subcontractor, or if you prefer a complete installation with a pre-fit handrail, you can be sure that your custom staircase design contractor, iStairs, will give you the results you want!
