So, what exactly are the characteristics of the staircase in a stylish house?

(1) Vaulted living room + skeleton staircase

The skeleton staircase is a popular model that has no vertical part called a kickboard and allows you to see over the staircase.
In particular, a skeleton staircase in a living room with a vaulted ceiling will provide a sense of openness with fewer obstructions to the view.

(2) Widen the staircase landing to change the look of the room.

Telework and remote learning are on the rise these days, and many people would like to have a space for such activities.
By expanding the staircase landing to create a workspace or study space, you can change the appearance of the space and make it more interesting.

(3) A spiral staircase in a straight line

The inside of a house is mostly composed of straight lines, such as columns and fittings.
In a space with many straight lines, a spiral staircase with curved lines will accentuate the straight lines and make the entire space more stylish.

(4) Change the staircase wall

By using different materials for the staircase walls or decorating them with paintings, the landing and staircase walls can be dramatically transformed.
It may also be possible to install a built-in rack for storage.

(5) Thinking with the floor plan

The shape of the staircase will vary depending on where it is placed in the house.
For example, even if you want to install a straight staircase that connects the upper and lower floors in a straight line, it may be difficult in some floor plans because of the lack of straight distances between them.
If you are particular about the staircase, you need to think about it together with the floor plan.

(6) Keep it as simple as possible

By making the parts as thin as possible, you can create a simple and stylish impression.
On the other hand, a spiral staircase with curves can also be used to create a softer impression.

(7) Create a contrast between the color of the wallpaper and the color of the steel frame

In the case of a skeleton staircase, a fashionable staircase can be created by making good use of the presence of the steel frame and emphasizing the contrast between the wallpaper and the steel frame.
One option would be to display a painting that would be as striking as the contrast.

8) Merits and demerits of poured concrete

Concrete material gives a simple and modern impression, but it also has some disadvantages.
Consider the other points to keep in mind, such as the coldness when walking barefoot and the risk of injury from bumping into the concrete.

9. How to make staircase railings more fashionable

In the case of a simple modern house, a thin steel-frame railing gives a stylish and cool impression.
In the case of a living room staircase, the staircase itself tends to have a strong presence, so by making the railing thin and blending it with the color of the wallpaper, you can make the room look larger.

(10) How to make fall prevention stylish

For households with small children, if the railing is made of a thin steel frame to give a stylish impression, there is a danger of children falling through the gaps.
In this case, increase the number of posts and cross members of the handrail to prevent children from falling.
