Leather has character

Leather stair cladding gives your staircase a well-worn look, something that adds character to any interior. Whether modern or classic, leather is a true chameleon. It adapts easily to its surroundings and blends beautifully with any other material. What’s more, your leather staircase requires very little maintenance. In fact, leather comes into its own with use and gains more charm the more it is walked on.

Leather exudes class

Leather not only adds character to your interior, but also exudes class. It’s ideal if you’re looking to create a stylish interior. If you want a stunning eye-catcher in your home, you should definitely opt for leather stair cladding!

Maintenance of a leather staircase

One of the main advantages of leather stair cladding is how easy it is to maintain. At Upstairs, we supply every leather staircase with our own care product, Upstairs Care & Protect, to make cleaning and maintenance a breeze. This product helps you clean your leather staircase and keep it looking its best, even when it’s heavily soiled or has stubborn stains, using just the sponge provided. No further maintenance is required, allowing you to enjoy your leather staircase effortlessly and for many years to come.

How to maintain a leather staircase?
  1. Regular cleaning
    For routine maintenance, wipe the stairs with a slightly damp cloth.
  2. Deep cleaning
    For heavier soiling or stains, Upstairs Care & Protect is the solution. Use the sponge provided for a thorough clean.
  3. Conditioning and protection
    To keep the leather supple and looking its best, treat it with Upstairs Care & Protect, which helps to condition the leather and protect it against further wear and tear.
Real leather vs leather look

In addition to genuine leather stair treads, we also offer stair tread covers with a leather-look finish. This option features a scratch-resistant and low-maintenance top layer that mimics the natural characteristics of genuine leather. Our stair tread covers, made from durable material, are fitted directly over the existing steps. This results in a maintenance-free staircase that does not need to be sanded or painted, featuring a natural-looking finish and anti-slip properties for added safety.

A leather staircase renovation: what are the options?

Leather gives your home a unique look. Our leather stair cladding is made from coarse Indian water buffalo leather. This leather is sturdy and can withstand a bit of rough and tumble. You need to be able to walk on it, but at the same time understand that signs of wear may appear; this is precisely what gives the stairs that well-loved look! A leather stair renovation is therefore possible in any type of home. What’s more, all styles can be combined. Do you want your staircase to exude a rugged character? Then choose the Extreme collection. The leather in this collection is weathered, rugged and robust. Colour variations and scratches define the character of the leather, and that is what makes a leather staircase renovation so special.
