Whether you’re looking forward to new beginnings or dreading the start of the new year, now is the ideal time to start thinking about your goals for the next 365 days.
Maybe 2023 is the year you want to get your house in shape, and what better way to start than with your staircase?
No matter if you want to replace odd parts, like your spindles, handrail or newel caps, or go all out and install a whole new set of stairs, there are plenty of trendy staircase ideas to kickstart your year.
In this post, our staircase design experts at Pear Stairs explore some of the most beautiful staircase ideas for 2023.
Sleek and modern
This trend became popular in late 2020 and has been the go-to choice for homeowners remodelling their staircases throughout the last two years. And it looks set to stay in 2023.
Combining natural timber textures with iron balusters, these designs work perfectly in minimalist, Scandinavian-style homes - another trend which really took its shape this year, too. And we think it’s the way forward!
Keeping your staircase simple also opens up a world of different styling opportunities, and many of them mean you don't have to change your existing staircase at all.
You can dress things up with seasonal greenery, be bold with artwork or feature step displays, or install a lighting fixture to take centre stage – the choice is yours.
Classic and elegant
Every elegant home needs a stunning staircase at the centre of it, and if you’re itching to create a bold, more detailed space in your home, then we’ve got good news.
Classic, elegant staircase designs are on the rise, and we expect to see them everywhere in the next year, and they’re sure to help you achieve the classy, well-accented vibe that you crave.
Many people are incorporating curves – be it curved handrails, curved glass railings, or a curve-shaped staircase – to elevate the look of their staircase and leave a lasting impression on their guests.
Others are mixing and matching materials, combining their solid oak staircase with glass and metal to create a stunning focal point.
With the timeless elegance of oak, the versatility of glass and the striking contrast that metal elements will help you fashion, your hallway will have never looked better!
Elegance is timeless, so whichever route you decide to take with this style, it’s sure to serve your home for years to come.
Remember though, elegance doesn’t always mean extravagance, so you don’t have to go OTT with a whole new staircase.
Replacing odd parts of your existing staircase – such as old wooden spindles for glass panels – is sure to do the trick. If you're working with a small space, a glass balustrade will allow more natural light to flow through your home, and give the illusion of more space. What’s not to love?
There are plenty of glass staircase ideas floating around Pinterest, or you can get in touch with our team for our expert recommendations.
Bold and maximalist
Wooden staircases never go out of style, and if you're not quite ready to part ways with yours, then you’ll be happy to hear this.
Maximalist décor is back, and has taken Pinterest and Instagram by storm last year. And it looks set to stay in 2023.
Maximalist décor is the definition of ‘go big or go home’. popular back in the 90s, this style is bringing back decorative accent pieces, bright colours, and funky wallpaper – which are ideal for extravagant self-expression.
This trend is more about what surrounds your staircase, rather than the stairs themselves, meaning you don’t even have to entertain the idea of ripping down your old staircase.
Investing in a new patterned carpet or stair runner, replacing odd parts or giving them a fresh lick of paint is sure to help you achieve a brand-new look.
Scared of going a bit overboard?
You could start by painting your handrails and spindles in a bright shade – sunny yellow or blush pink perhaps – to introduce a small pop of colour, incorporating more patterns and textures as the year goes on.
If you're not a fan of bright colours and would prefer something a little more sophisticated and understated, you could create contrast with crisp white and dark grey, navy blue or black shades to add drama and help you make a statement.
Maybe you’re happy with your staircase, but are looking for ways you can make your space more visually interesting?
If you have space beneath your stairs, this is the perfect opportunity for you to do just that, and there are plenty of routes you can take.
Create a cosy seating area with patterned cushions and blankets, or invest in an under-stair shelving unit for extra storage space.
