Combining your stairs with a cast floor: tips and inspiration

A poured concrete floor gives your home a rugged yet elegant look. What’s more, it’s practical: hard-wearing, low-maintenance and hypoallergenic. But which staircase best complements this industrial look? We’ll give you tips and inspiration on how to perfectly combine your staircase with your poured concrete floor.

Self-levelling floors are popular in modern interiors and come in various types, such as PU, concrete and epoxy. Their smooth, sleek finish provides the ideal backdrop for a stylish interior. The question is: how do you ensure your staircase complements this without the overall look becoming too cold or monotonous?

A common misconception is that the stairs and floor must form a single, cohesive whole. In fact, it is precisely a striking contrast that can give your interior more character. Here are a few ideas:

Cool and industrial

• Choose a staircase in blue steel: robust and the perfect match for a concrete screed floor.
• Combine with leather stair cladding for a luxurious touch. Our leather finishes range from subtle light to intense dark.
• Opt for concrete-look finishes such as Blended Cement or Cloudy Cement for a harmonious look.

A striking staircase is the perfect complement to the industrial look of a resin floor. Consider a modern staircase in blue steel, which pairs perfectly with the rugged appearance of a concrete resin floor. Leather staircases also combine well with a resin floor. The various shades of our leather finishes create a unique and luxurious look. You can also match your poured floor with concrete-look finishes such as Blended Cement or Cloudy Cement to create a harmonious whole.

A wooden staircase adds warmth to the sleek look of a poured concrete floor. Consider finishes such as Mississippi Pine or Dark Walnut, which bring atmosphere and character. Combine this with light-coloured walls and a designer lamp for an elegant overall look.

Don’t be afraid to play with colour. A white resin floor looks stunning paired with a dark staircase in Raja Black, which creates a modern look thanks to its clean lines. This allows you to create subtle contrasts that remain timeless.

With a staircase renovation from Upstairs, you can choose from an extensive range of materials and colours, ensuring your staircase and resin floor complement each other perfectly.
