How do you create a spacious feeling with your staircase?

In hotels, every room feels spacious and uncluttered. You can achieve the same effect at home. Ensure that your flooring and stair coverings flow seamlessly into one another as much as possible, creating a sense of unity. When renovating your stairs, choose a design that complements your flooring perfectly, for a harmonious and spacious interior.

What colours suit the hotel luxury style?

Calm, harmonious colours create a timeless hotel-style atmosphere. Choose one main colour and combine it with soft, neutral shades. For your staircase, this means using a single subtle design motif across the steps, stringers and banister. This way, your staircase exudes both tranquillity and luxury. Fancy something a bit bolder? Then a staircase in blue steel is the ultimate eye-catcher.

How do you add boutique hotel allure?

Fancy a bit more drama and intensity? Go for a boutique hotel look with deep colours and luxurious materials. Think:

  • a staircase in dark wood such as Blackwood
  • leather or satin accents
  • gold or brass accessories
  • generous curtains and atmospheric lighting

It instantly makes your home feel like an exclusive hotel room.
