Elite stairs as a design element: options for technical solutions

Many people try to choose only the best furniture and interior items for their home. And in this case, an obligatory detail of the layout will be elite stairs made of solid wood or natural stone.

Of course, the cost of such structures is very significant, but the high cost is fully compensated by the unsurpassed appearance.

Ladder as a design element

The staircase in the house is a unique design. Its main task is to unite all floors into a single living space, and therefore the choice of this element of the interior should be treated very carefully.

Of course, everyone has their own ideas about beauty and harmony, but still it is worth listening to the advice of professional designers:

• The larger the room, the wider the stairs should be.... The widest structures in several spans are installed in halls and open-type living rooms. In this case, a high dome is often placed above the stairs, and the rooms are located along the perimeter of the free area.

Note!
Such a scheme can be implemented, perhaps, only in a fairly spacious private house.

• For small rooms, such as a hallway or corridor, small structures placed along the wall are preferable.... Such stairs are compact enough and do not clutter up the space.
• The color scheme of steps and railings should be in harmony with the overall stylistic solution of the room.... A variety of design options are presented on the modern market, and therefore it will probably not be difficult to choose a suitable shade.
• You also need to remember that the appearance of the product should not damage its functionality.... It is important that you are comfortable going up and down, otherwise, despite all the attractiveness, you will want to change the ladder within a couple of days after installation.

Of course, the above tips are by no means binding instructions, but it is still worth taking them into account when planning a home.

Varieties of elite designs

Expensive material as a guarantee of a perfect appearance

One of the most important criteria for choosing premium stairs is the material from which they are made.

Today, the following options are popular:

• Elite wooden stairs. This category is probably the most extensive, since it includes products from a wide variety of wood species. The market leaders here will be oak, beech, cedar, mahogany, etc. - in general, all those varieties that are distinguished by a memorable appearance. (see also Single-flight ladder)

Note!
In addition to the wood itself, give beautiful appearance steps and railings can be done due to its original processing, and you can do this even with your own hands.
Techniques such as brushing, varnishing, polishing, etc. are able to radically change the impression of even the simplest design.

• Stone stairs... They are rare in apartments, but in a private house it is quite possible to install stone steps. For the manufacture of elements, both natural marble and granite are used (many are embarrassed by the high price, but the products look just amazing), as well as their artificial counterparts.
• Glass steps... In apartments and houses, the interior of which is designed in a modern style, neither wood nor stone will be appropriate enough. In this case, the load-bearing elements of the stairs are made of metal, and triplex panels are used for the steps. (see also Glass stair railing)

As for the completely metal options, they are almost never used in the interior. Expensive wrought iron stairs are installed only on the street: near the porch, in gazebos, near the terraces, etc.

Note!
An exception will be the railings made of metal rods, which are in perfect harmony with the wooden structures inside the house.

Of course, you need to take into account that when we talk about material, we mean what the main elements are made of. Colored glass, crystal, plastic, polished non-ferrous metal plates and much more can be used in the decor of luxury products.

Variants of technical solutions

In addition to the material and design, the elite staircase also differs from the ordinary one in its design. Moreover, these differences are not only cosmetic, but also quite functional.

In this case, the main types of layout remain unchanged:

• The marching design is perhaps one of the most common and easy to manufacture. Ladders like these are easy enough to design and assemble, so if you have the skill, you can make a premium product yourself. As a rule, marching schemes are implemented either in the center of the room, or in one of the corners. (see also Two-flight staircase)

Advice!
In order to efficiently use the interior space, the ascent can be divided into several flights following each other, with a turntable between them.

• Screw structures - ideal for compact tall buildings. The arrangement of steps in a spiral makes it possible to significantly save free space. In addition, the appearance of such stairs will not leave anyone indifferent.

• Another plus of the spiral arrangement is the breadth of design possibilities. You can place the steps as you like, especially since modern technologies will in any case provide the necessary bearing capacity to the pores being erected.

The original technical solutions include suspended stairs, in which the steps are attached to cables fixed to the ceiling. On the one hand, such a system seems rather unreliable, but in practice it can withstand much more stress than it seems. And such a design object will fit perfectly into a modern interior.

Output

Elite staircases are a completely separate group of interior items. It is not functionality that comes to the fore, but the appearance, and it is this idea that obeys both the choice of material and the location of the stairs in the interior.

Naturally, an exclusive design cannot be cheap, but saving money on your home is also not the best solution! In the video presented in this article, you will find additional information on this topic.
