Factors to Consider When Choosing The Right Staircase Design for Your Home

In renovating your old staircase or building a new home, how do you decide on the perfect 
 staircase design for your home?

Just like your decision for your kitchen or your living room, choosing the right staircase is 
as important. A staircase is not only functional by giving access to different levels of the 
house, but it also adds character and feature to your homes. With so many options, here 
are some factors to consider in choosing your staircase:

Budget

Decide on the amount you are willing to spend on your residential staircase, considering 
the raw materials and labor. Based on your budget, choose the kind of material to be used 
and design. Make inquiries, ask for quotes, and compare to check how to best utilize your 
budget.

Space

Bear in mind the space available to accommodate your stairs. If you have a thin and long 
rectangular opening, you may opt for a straight staircase. If you have less space 
downstairs, you may decide on a spiral staircase. 

Safety

Safety first. There is a minimum width requirement for the design of the stairs to make 
sure that no children could climb in between the balusters. The material should also be 
sturdy and non-slippery. 

Family’s Needs and Lifestyle                              

For families who have children, safety gates should be installed. Senior citizens should 
have an easy-to-climb staircase with landings plates and handrails. If you have a busy 
lifestyle, having stairs that do not require regular vacuuming and low maintenance may 
be best for you. 

Materials

Depending on your preference and the look you are going for, decide on whether the 
stairs should be made of timber, marble, steel or concrete. 

Design

Knowing your budget, space, and materials, you may now choose a residential 
staircase design. You can have a straight, half-turned, quarter-turned, or spiral 
staircase. You should also consider landings if needed. These sections of flooring 
between angles or curves break a very tall staircase to minimize injuries in case 
somebody falls. 

Building Regulations

Always check with your local building inspector on the requirements for the design 
and building of the stairs before the actual construction. You do not want to spend 
more on redoing your staircase because of non-compliance with regulations 
which will cost more.

When you have already made your decision on the above-enumerated considerations, 
plan out the details of construction. Be certain with your decision as changes or 
replacement would be costly and time-consuming.
