Batul Nafisa Baxamusa
Taking the stairs is the most obvious step to reach the upper floors of any multi-storey structure.
Some staircases are elaborate, almost have a breathtaking sight. A majority are designed for the sole purpose of reaching the upper floors.
Let's have a look at a few types and styles of staircases you can choose to design for your home.
Circular Stairs
Circular staircases are round and tapered. They are also called as helixed stairs.
Straight Stairs
A straight staircase connects floors with a single flight of stairs, requiring ample space for a seamless connection.
You can use modern materials and metallic railings to add interest in a plain straight staircase.
Spiral Stairs
Spiral stairs have an elegant and beautiful design. They are usually constructed around a single pole. Their compact design is perfect for smaller spaces.
It's quicker to climb the spiral stairs. Their narrow turns make it difficult to carry furniture over them.
L-Shaped Stairs
Also called quarter-turn stairs, L-Shaped stairs are those that take a turn or bend usually at 90 degrees.
L-shaped stairs require less space, and are easy to navigate due to more landing space.
Curved Stairs
Curved stairs form a continuous helical curve, featuring a larger radius that makes walking up easier.
Elegant and charming, constructing a curved staircase requires skilled and experienced hands.
Bifurcated Stairs
Bifurcated stairs have a broader base that splits into two narrower flights on either side, exuding regality.
Bifurcated stairs need a lot of space. Thus, they are suitable for buildings which have grand spaces such as palaces, mansions, or hotels.
