Nothing transforms a home like a finely crafted stairway. Like a tribute to days gone by, a finely crafted stairway stands the test of time and taste. Today’s custom banisters are making a resurgence due in part to builders and designers restoring their place of prominence in the entryway of homes across the nation. Gone are the days when a stairway is simply a vehicle to get from floor to floor. Consider that a stairway is the only piece of builtin furniture in your home, aside from cabinetry, which is kept hidden in the kitchen or bath. The stairway greets visitors with a prelude to expectations to the rest of the home.
The style du jour is “anything goes”. The classic continuous banisters will always conjure up images of children taking a slide when no one is looking. More recently, the mission look has made resurgence, and after fifteen years, iron balusters are still the rage. And rest assured that the fun and frivolity of a contemporary staircase will always have a place in the American home. Available in any wood species, the design is only limited by your imagination.
An innovative design coupled with a competent installation company such as Roughrider Hardwoods will yield a treasure that stands the test of time. You’ve seen them in the centuries old homes you’ve explored – old stairways with finishes dulled by the comings and goings of generations. Tarnished, but no less treasured, it continues to stand, and to stand.
