Owners of a cottage, a country house with an attic or a two-level apartment sooner or later decide how they want to combine the space between floors: a simple march or a comfortable and reliable interior staircase. It is a decoration and a central design element, and not just steps to the second or third floor of the house. With its appearance, it is designed to emphasize the style in which this interior is made.
Design Trends
Home decorators are creative in designing stairs between floors. The minimalist elements of the original design are reflected in most of the homes. This is the "individuality" of the flight of stairs, comfortable space and homeliness. The main types of flights of stairs do not abound with variety, remaining wooden, metal, stone and concrete. The choice of type and design of modern stairs depends on the size of the house, the layout of its lower and upper floors, as well as the opening inoverlap between tiers.
The optimal place for lifting from the first to the second floor should be chosen during the design. Usually on the first floor of the house there is a hall or hallway, from where an entrance to the staircase of the second floor should be provided. If the entrance hall is small, the rise to the second floor should be planned from the living room. In this case, it is necessary to consider the design of the staircase so that it harmoniously fits into the overall style of the room.
Views
Modern designs come in a wide range thanks to the availability of new materials and shapes of stairs themselves, from chic Victorian to floating designs. At the same time, the types of staircases decorating the interior of the house can be of different configurations: straight, curved and rotary. Steps are fastened to light and compact bolts (pins or bolts) or casing structures on spiral and spiral staircases.
Depending on the height of the room, interior stairs can be one-, two- and multi-flight. Marching types have open or closed spaces under the steps. Typically, a flight of stairs consists of ten steps. If there are more of them, the rise will be too steep, and it is better to divide it into two spans, arranging a platform between them, or make a turn.
Wooden stairs
The interior staircase made of this material is very popular. More often, a wooden structure is found in private buildings.
Wood has not gone out of fashion, it looks attractive and pleasant to the touch. If you beat a wooden staircase in a contrasting design, it looks unusual and interesting. The white color and the wood effect paint create the perfect combination that attracts people because of its simplicity.
Floating stairs in the interior of the house
If you want to create an original look for your home, consider a floating staircase. This choice will help create a modern and functional interior that complements the simplicity of a minimalist design.
When designing a floating interior staircase, it is important to consider its shape and geometry. It can be made of steel, maintaining an airy and open appearance that creates a stylish decor centerpiece. In addition, metal flights of stairs are highly durable and reliable, and floating stairs are preferable for a minimalist style. They do not obscure the layout of the space between floors.
Floating ladder options
There are various options for making floating stairs for the home. In the first case, the steps are mounted to the wall on pins or bolts, which means that there must be a wall on one side. In the second, it is the installation of steps on special steel supports. The mount is used where a seemingly weightless design is needed. Often, floating staircase structures in country houses are combined, which combine different installation methods. Their openwork design has sufficient strength. One stage can withstand weight up to one and a half tons.
Space understairs
The design and application of the area under the stairs depends on the angle of inclination and the size of the span. At home, the place under it is successfully used to create additional functional areas. There are many ideas that can be brought to life by arranging the space under the stairs in the house. With your imagination and some building skills, this area can be turned:
- to a sleeping place or resting place;
- to the office space, placing a computer and shelves for the necessary books in it;
- toilet room with a washstand and a toilet, if it is possible to supply water, sewerage and ventilation;
- dressing room in the form of boxes, shelves, places for hanging outerwear;
- play space with toys for young children.
Spiral and spiral staircases in the interior
For those who want to save space or have a small area to install conventional straight flights of stairs, the screw option is ideal. Moreover, it can be made from various materials.
Usually, such interior stairs are installed in houses between the floor and the attic room. The design has an open frame, the materials for manufacturing are metal and wood, and the steps are wedge-shaped. In the central part of the rack, made of metal, they are from 20 to 25 cm, and the widest part is adjacent to the railing posts or the wall and is 40 cm.
Rising from the bottomfloor to the attic is not used as the main one, but it looks very impressive in the interior, being an independent artistic solution.
Interior forged stairs
The style of stairs to the second floor is usually expressed in details such as railings and balusters. They can be made in different ways and with varying degrees of difficulty. Forging has always been considered an elite option, it fits any home interior. This design is associated with we alth and luxury. Today, many can afford to decorate the interior of their home in this way.
