1930s homes are incredibly popular – and we understand why all too well. Think stained-glass windows, traditional woodwork and elegant ceiling mouldings. A real eye-catcher in these homes is often the stately wooden staircase in the hall. Beautiful, but after decades of heavy use, such a staircase could do with a bit of TLC. With a staircase renovation from Upstairs, you can combine the grandeur of yesteryear with the comfort and style of today.
The typical 1930s staircase is enclosed, often painted in a high-gloss finish and featuring refined details such as nosing strips, grooves and elegant balusters. This gives the staircase its distinctive look – but also requires extra maintenance. So it’s time to give this classic staircase a sustainable upgrade.
When renovating, you don’t have to stick to the exact style of the past. Feel free to combine tradition with contemporary touches. Consider a wood-effect step paired with a stylish steel or leather handrail. LED lighting integrated into the steps also creates a luxurious and modern look, without detracting from the character of your home.
