Spiral Stairs
As any decorator knows, when redesigning the interior of a home, there are several main points to take into consideration before beginning, such as making the most of the available living space, while still being aesthetically pleasing, and of course, comfortable.
For multi-level homes in need of a new set or completely different type of staircase, the unique style of spiral stairs offers many distinct advantages.
One of the first benefits you’ll notice with a set of spiral stairs, as opposed to the traditional-style staircase, is the sheer amount of space that will be saved, particularly on the ground level.
Most every space would be able to accommodate this style of stairs as they may be placed far in a corner, along most any wall, or even out in the middle of the room for a more dramatic look.
Depending on the style of your home’s décor, your spiral stairs can be designed to blend in with the current theme, or be an ornate, and rather large conversation piece. Plain spiral stairs can be painted or stained any color, and woodwork can be matched with just about any existing design. Pre-manufactured sets feature patterns ranging from the simplest to the most intricate of designs.
Traditional staircases, complete with posts and landings, are usually quite a bit more expensive than a set of spiral stairs. Maintenance is also another issue to consider, as the construction of this style of stairs is sturdy and most reliable.
Also, because of the reasonable initial costs, replacing the spiral stairs with another set, or even a different style, is an option if you’re planning on redecorating your space again some time in the future.
Often times, spiral stairs add considerably to the resale value of a home, offsetting their original cost, adding yet another reason to consider this style staircase. If you’re simply redecorating your home, or even building a new one, spiral stairs are a unique way to connect two floors together.
Pay a visit to your local decorating or home improvement store for some ideas of the styles that are currently available. You may also want to browse a bit online before heading to the stores so you’ll already have an approximate idea of the prices and popular designs.
