Staircases: setting the mood of a house

A staircase completes the look of a house. Depending on the preferences and personal taste, different people may choose different kinds of staircases for their homes. Probably, for the same reason, home decoration companies offer exclusive choices for every target market. While some one of generation ‘Y’ can go for staircases with modern and comfortable stair treads with sleek fiberglass construction. People who enjoy a classic taste can always choose spiral stair with intricate patterns or a circular stair in red oak.

If you are looking for specific requirements in setting up the most appealing staircase for your home, you need to consider following important things that may help you to choose the best:

Circular Stairs: Fashion trends come and go; some may stay a longer while many return after a considerable period of time. Staircases are no exceptions to this. Circular stairs that were popular in early 1900s have again re-appeared into the staircase market scenario, particularly in upper-end custom homes. Even, circular stairs are becoming a focal point of modern homes, adding better look and providing more comfort while walking. Also, circular stairs can be easily combined with custom newels and carved brackets as per the budget and personal taste of a homeowner.

Choice of Wood: People who prefer wooden stairs can enjoy choosing from a wide array of woods available for making durable staircases. Most staircases are made up of red oak and quarter-sawn white oak, but exotic woods are too getting popular in the market. According to recent reports, there has been an increase of about 15 to 20 percent in the sales of exotic woods. These exotic woods include black walnut, Brazilian cherry, African mahogany, Australian cyprus and anegre.
