This stone staircase has been a particularly interesting challenge to design and build. As the house is a wooden framed build, we could not use traditional building methods to create this outstanding solid stone staircase. We had to allow certain parts of the staircase to be able to move with the potential movement of the wooden frame of the house. That is also a reason why we had to place some additional columns under the curved part of the stone stairs. We believe that these details make this staircase even more interesting to look at.

When interior designer Stephanie Dunning of Dunning & Everard was asked to work on all the interior architecture and design for two new floors at Hampshire vineyard Exton Park, the brief was pretty extensive. It included the creation of a dining room to seat 20, a bar for a chef’s dining table, a kitchen to cater for 50, a club room, boardroom, mezzanine bar and office. The great hall also had to be big on wow factor.

Large Limestone Staircase Design Ideas

A staircase isn’t just a structural element that links two floors – it can also help define your style, make a statement, and turn your entryway into a grand entrance. There are a growing range of materials and staircase designs to cater to your personal style and the size of your space. Here are some quick tips to consider while browsing images of staircase designs on Houzz.

What type of staircase works best for me?

The first consideration when planning a stair design is space. A double-sided staircase, for instance, will only work in a large area; whereas an L-shaped staircase or straight staircase are more compact options. The next step in the stair design is deciding on a style. Elliptical or curved stairs offer elegance, while spiral stairs can appear more urban. If you want a contemporary design, floating stairs are a great way to circulate light.

What balustrade and handrail options are available?

Balustrades and handrails are important for safety but also allow you to get creative with your stair design. Many staircases are built up against a wall – if that’s the case, the wall itself can act as a balustrade; it will just need an attached handrail. Glass balustrades are great if you want to show off your staircase as an architectural feature, whereas a timber balustrade tends to be a more timeless option. Metal balustrades are versatile in that they can be industrial, elegant or quirky. Consider functionality, too, especially if you have kids. An open railing, for instance could become a safety hazard.

What type of material should I use for stair treads?

Timber stair treads are strong and timeless, but aren’t suited to those with indoor pets as they’ll show up scuffs. Carpeted or stone stair treads are more traditional options, whereas stainless steel and glass can be quite contemporary. Concrete stair treads are increasingly popular for those looking to create a sculptural masterpiece out of their staircase – just imagine the effect of floating concrete stairs, daringly cantilevered. Also consider using a combination of materials to create visual interest.
