In the same way that one does not need to be an art aficionado to appreciate beautiful artistic creations, you don’t have to be an architect to be able to recognize when a house or another structure is beautifully designed and constructed.

Such is also the case when it comes to the appeal of open riser staircases, a design that is gaining in popularity among both residential and commercial property owners.

The rise of a staircase system refers to the vertical part of the stairs that connects the adjacent treads (the part we walk on), but with an open riser staircase design, the risers are purposefully missing (i.e., ‘open’) to create an airy and open feel. But why are home and business owners alike choosing this particular staircase design more and more often?

For some of the reasons, take a look at the handful of bullet points below.

  • An open riser staircase system creates a unique modern style that very few other staircase designs can compare to. One of the main appeals of an open riser staircase is that by design, the stairs lets in light and thus create the perception of a larger space, a feature that homeowners often find adds character to their homes as well!
  • The construction of open staircase can be arranged in a variety of different layouts and styles, no matter what look you want to express in your home.
  • Another reason why open riser staircases are spiking in popularity is because their design is ideal for both residential and commercial settings, as well as both indoors and outdoors, opening up the possibility for a variety of creative opportunities.
  • The versatility of an open riser staircase structure means that it can be accommodated to match with nearly every style of design and architecture.

Now let’s take a look at some of the specific options available when working with an open riser staircase:

  • A residential curved staircase that offers a unique combination of open and solid elements, such as with beautifully stained wooden treads and custom designed wrought iron handrails, complimented by the airy nature of the open risers, this particular design has an elegant, yet charming appeal.
  • An L-shaped open riser staircase system designed for a commercial space, displaying glass features and stainless handrails, as well as wooden treads. Such a staircase offers excellent lighting and provides an especially luminous ambiance to the entire building.
  • A modern straight open riser staircase for the exterior of a home or building, featuring a single stringer staircase, steel cables, and hand-crafted metal handrails and newels, this popular open riser staircase design is perfect for complimenting a structure with straight, clean lines.

Last but not least, when it comes to any major staircase construction project, the end result can only be as good as the engineers, contractors, and laborers who create and assemble the open riser staircase from start to finish.
