With the smallest houses in Europe being in the UK, it is no surprise that, our staircase carpenter team quite often works with people who are looking to install a space-saving solution in their home with a bespoke staircase.
Naturally, staircases are essential for multi-storey homes, but they can take up a lot of room, which is why, with the right bespoke staircase London homeowners can use clever designs to make the most of the space they have available, while also benefitting from a stylish, functional bespoke staircase. Here are some ideas for these kinds of bespoke, space-saving staircases.
L-Shaped Staircase
When it comes to bespoke staircase carpentry London homeowners often opt for the L-shaped staircase, as they have a similar form to the straight staircase, but with provide additional bend at some portions of the stairs to create a transition point. The small landing is typically a quarter or half of the way up the stairs; it can create a nice break point that makes the stairs comfortable to use, especially for those with mobility difficulties.
Winder Staircase
Winder staircases have a similar design to the L-shaped staircase, making them a popular bespoke staircase London customers love. Instead of a flat landing, it incorporates a turn within the steps at a corner transition. This creates an intriguing feature that can create even more space due to the lack of landing. However, a landing can be a great place to add some furniture or storage furnishings, which you cannot have on winder staircases.
Spiral Staircase
In terms of a bespoke staircase London homes can enjoy the most space-saving staircase design of them all when they opt for the spiral staircase. Though less common in households these bespoke staircases follow a helical arc that winds around a central post. It can take you to the next floor of a house with very minimal space needed for installation. They are, however, tricky for those with limited mobility and can be difficult to climb while carrying large items.
