Why Should I Choose Traditional Stairs?

When having a staircase built, it’s important that you have carefully considered the most appropriate style for the era of your home and the décor or theme that you have chosen. There are a variety of different styles available, from modern to classical, but the one that many homeowners turn to is traditional stairs. There are plenty of reasons why you should choose this style over the others.

They complement many eras
One of the great things about these stairs is that they can complement almost any era, but you will find that they have the most impact in Victorian style homes. If you’re trying to invoke the look and feel of this long-passed era, you’ll find that one of these staircases is the perfect match. We can ensure that the design matches perfectly.

They make a real statement
Everything about traditional stairs is big and bold, from the posts and handrails through to the treads and nosing. They are designed to stand out and take pride of place. Everyone who walks into your home will immediately notice the feature, and for all the right reasons. At the same time, the staircase holds intricate detail.

They primarily utilise timber
If you love the rich look and luxurious feel of natural materials like timber, this is the staircase design for you. You’ll find that timber is used extensively in the various components of the stairs. In particular, you’ll find that these components are curved or rounded, which only adds to the overall aesthetic appeal of the flight in general.

They can be stained or painted
Depending on the overall look that you’re trying to achieve, these stairs can be painted or stained in the colour of your choice. The other option is to stain the treads and paint the risers (or vice versa) so that you can have the best of both worlds. Staining can really draw out the natural grain of the timber, whilst painting can encourage a better match.

If you’re in need of a staircase, we hope that you will consider traditional stairs as the perfect addition for your home. As you can see, there are a number of reasons why many homeowners already choose this style over the others available, and these reasons will only multiply once your installation is complete.
