Spiraling

I just came across this really cool image of a custom metal residential spiral staircase that got me thinking about the use of metals in staircases.


In fact, all kinds of things can be done with metal to create andan interesting and unique staircase for your home or even spruce up your old wooden or concrete staircase. 

Here, this gorgeous spiral oak staircase's support frame has been rendered in a stainless steel that adds a sleekness and sophistication to a rustic retreat.   

Maybe you're looking for a more upfront touch of design to your set of stairs at which guests to your home can marvel? Then why not think about installing a unique and intricate metal railing to your staircase. Check out this ornate wrought iron design that runs alongside a wooden staircase. I think it's quite stunning.

Lastly, you could go all in and design a staircase entirely out of metal.  These staircases are perfect for modern interiors--they're young, fresh, and lustrous, but also scream luxury.  Here's a cantilever steel staircase that's quite minimalist in design but is also a dazzling eye-catcher. 

Whether you're thinking of installing a new staircase in your home or a merely looking for a touch up, why not consider incorporating metal to add a little bit of elegance to your spiral.
