Glorify Your Home With An Oak Staircase

When redecorating or renovating a house, it is so easy to focus so much on the basics and the most important tasks that we forget about the other improvements which give our homes character and personality. We will think a lot about the areas and rooms which we use the most, such as the kitchen, living room and main bedrooms, and spend a lot of time and effort choosing colour schemes, flooring, wallpaper, and furnishings for these rooms. Understandably the main rooms in your home are what you are most likely to give the most thought to; however, remembering to focus on other areas can really make a difference to the overall look of your home.

The front entrance of your home is the area which makes the first impression of your home. In a typical house, when you walk in the front entrance, you are faced with the staircase. Although the staircase is a functional structure and we don’t normally tend to think of it as a feature, when chosen well, the staircase can make a huge difference to your home. A beautifully designer oak staircase looks stunning in all houses, so long as you take care to choose the right style and design.

You can choose an oak staircase in various designs, ranging from very simple styles to more ornate grand styles.  Large impressive oak staircases are ideal for bigger homes and period, but if you live in a smaller house, or a more modern house, a grand staircase would most likely overpower your hallway and look out of place. You would be best advised to opt for a simple and elegant design of staircase which would still stand out as a beautiful feature.

Oak staircases are made by hand by skilled carpenters and joiners who take care to ensure that everything is made to the highest quality. Good oak timber is used, and you can choose from a variety of shades. Dark oak is very impressive and light oak looks attractive in all houses. When choosing your oak staircase, you can choose from a range of handmade components so you can have your staircase exactly as you would like it. 

You can choose various designs of banister posts, spindles, steps, brackets and banister post caps.
A traditional bespoke oak staircase fitted into any home will last for many many years, both as a functional structure and a stunning feature.
