Building your dream home is an exciting chapter in anyone’s life. It’s a huge milestone that shouldn’t be rushed – every little detail should be carefully considered for the purposes of functionality and flow within your home.
Building your dream home is an exciting chapter in anyone’s life. It’s a huge milestone that shouldn’t be rushed – every little detail should be carefully considered for the purposes of functionality and flow within your home.
There’s no doubt that during the design phase, you’ll spend days if not weeks planning and choosing each individual component and element in your build. Finally, everything’s perfect.
Then it comes to your staircase. When building and designing a custom-built staircase, there are certain elements you must take into consideration in those early stages. Functionality is a defining factor when designing your staircase, not to mention the overall composition and materials used in the final product. Whether it’s a traditional spiral or a contemporary combination of materials: design needs to be at the forefront of your decision making.

Express Your Individuality
A hand-crafted S&A staircase offers you the opportunity to express your creative flair, while also drawing attention to the internal structure of your home. As a key design element, you want to ensure your staircase harmonises with your own personal style, whilst adding character to your new home.
S&A Stairs builds innovative and progressive staircases, designed to last a lifetime. Materials and design structure continues to evolve as time goes by, providing homes with a greater sense of visual appeal.
According to Ricky, “The look and feel of stairs have evolved over the past 10 years. Stairs are now designed as more of an art piece, rather than just a means of transitioning between floors.”
Practicality is Key
It’s easy to become wholly invested in simply the aesthetics of your bespoke staircase, but at the end of the day: practicality and functionality shouldn’t be left to fall by the wayside. In the design phase, it’s important to consider:
- Size, space and layout within the home
- Maintaining flow throughout your interiors
- Features such as staircase storage and lighting elements
- Costs and timeframe
