Where is the best place to install your staircase lighting?
More and more people are opting for built-in LED stair lighting when renovating or installing new stairs. It’s a logical choice, as it not only looks stylish but also offers practical benefits. But where is the best place to install this lighting? We’ve outlined the options and key considerations for you.
Stair lighting combines atmosphere with safety. Especially when the toilet and bedrooms are on different floors, it’s nice not to have to switch on the bright ceiling light every time in the evening or at night. With LED lighting, you can create a soft glow that’s energy-efficient and can safely be left on all night. This way, you can always walk up and down the stairs safely – for you and your family.
One of the most popular options is LED lighting in the stair treads. The lights or strips are discreetly concealed within the tread itself. The advantage is that you can see exactly where each step begins, reducing the risk of tripping. Because the lighting is integrated into the treads, you never look directly into the light – both practical and stylish.
Stair lighting is available in a variety of styles. At Upstairs, you can choose from:
- Colour temperature: warm white for a cosy atmosphere or cool white/blue for a modern look.
- Shapes: ultra-slim LED strips (specially designed for the steps), or round and square spotlights for the stair stringers.
This way, you can tailor the lighting perfectly to your lifestyle and interior design.
Are you looking for more than just atmospheric lighting? With Smart Stairs, your staircase becomes smart. Imagine lighting that switches on automatically as soon as you approach a step, or the ability to customise the light colour yourself. This way, you combine safety, comfort and design in a single innovative solution that takes your staircase to the next level.
Built-in stair lighting not only makes your staircase safer, but also more attractive. Whether you opt for subtle strips or elegant spotlights, the lighting highlights the design and turns your staircase into an eye-catcher.
