When it comes to adding a personal touch and unique design to your home, nothing showcases your personality quite like custom metal stairs. When compared to traditional home staircases, custom metal staircases show more of your style without sacrificing the utility and easy maintenance you expect at home. The team at Creative Iron Arts in Oakland, CA, believes that the right staircase can fit with every home. They share a few of the benefits of metal, as well as a couple of design ideas to inspire you.

The Good & the Bad of Custom Metal Staircases

Metal staircases are incredibly durable and can withstand many years of heavy daily use without showing significant wear and tear. Like traditional staircases, they can be designed to completely integrate into your space, whether you’re looking to create a small footprint with a spiral staircase or need an elegant addition to your entryway. However, metal tends to carry sound and can make your footfalls echo throughout your space if you do not have upholstery or rugs on the floor. During wet conditions, the staircase may also get slick, but this can be remedied by either taking off your shoes or having a mat outside of your door to brush off the excess water.

Design Inspiration

Metal staircases can either stand out or blend in with your décor. The surface can be painted any color you like, or you can leave it as raw metal and achieve a sophisticated modern look. If you want to incorporate modern designs into your space, consider installing a suspended staircase that gives the illusion of floating or hovering over your floor. If you want a classic or Victorian-inspired look, add a spiral staircase with intricate wrought-iron designs along the banister. Metal fabricators can also create a utilitarian staircase to blend in with sleek modern décor. No matter what you’re looking for, metal will help you get the most out of your interior design.
