Step 1 — Style
First, Define Your Design Style
Your staircase should complement the overall design of your home. Start by identifying the architectural style you want to achieve, then explore the parts that bring it to life.
Traditional / Classic
Warm woods, elegant profiles, timeless details, and refined craftsmanship.
Transitional
A blend of traditional warmth and modern simplicity with clean, versatile lines.
Craftsman
Strong lines, authentic wood character, and architectural simplicity.
Contemporary / Modern
Minimalist styling with clean lines, open space, and dramatic contrast.
Farmhouse / Rustic
Natural textures, organic warmth, and a balance of comfort and character.
Step 2 — Layout
Next, Choose Your Stair Layout
The layout impacts flow, openness, visual impact, and budget. Your floorplan and available space help determine which configurations are possible.
Full Open — One Side
Open railing on one side with wall support on the other.
Full Open — L Shape
Creates separation between levels while maintaining openness.
Partial Open
Combines walls and open railing sections.
Double Partial
More enclosed layout often used for privacy or space constraints.
Full Open — Scissor
Visually dramatic dual staircase configuration.
A Special Note on Safety & Code
A beautiful staircase also has to be safe. Local building codes can affect handrail height, baluster spacing, tread depth, riser height, graspability, and structural attachment. We'll help you confirm what applies to your project.
