Stainless steel staircases are a great way to add interest to a home or office space.
There are many different stainless steel staircase designs available for you on the market today that come in different shapes matching your home or office vibe. These stairs add an architecturally interesting element to what may be considered by some as an otherwise boring structure. Here are some stainless steel staircase ideas to consider during your next renovation or new build.
Spiral staircases may exhibit intricate detail or simple, sleek modern lines covering a wide spectrum of taste and décor. The name is a direct reflection of its build. It is created in the shape of a spiral with each step encompassing approximately a twelfth of the stairs. There is a central column located as a support to each step. The key to executing this correctly is to take accurate measurements and dimensions before constructing it. If you are unsure on how to proceed seek out a professional who has worked with stainless steel spiral staircases before.
Another staircase available to fulfill your creative needs is the “L’ shaped stairs. These are stairs that work with or without railings. To maximize the stairs one blogger suggested creating extra storage to the bottom of these stairs in the form of drawers. You could store shoes, books, school bags or whatever you need in this easily accessible area.
The third idea is a simple, common design referred to as vertical stairs. This is a great option for smaller homes or office buildings. It does not seem to take up as much space and you can still make the look original by painting them with a touch of color.
