Inspiring spiral: how bespoke joinery can transform a staircase
When renovating a home, the staircase often gets overlooked. However, the visual impact and quality of a staircase can reflect upon the entire property.
Staircases are more than just a way of getting from one floor to another, they can be a stunning feature to be enjoyed and admired. Like the beautiful unique bespoke wooden spiral staircase shown here, which was made to measure by our team at Acorn Bespoke Carpentry and Joinery for a homeowner in Surrey.

STEP UP TO NATURAL WOOD
There is a growing trend with bespoke joinery towards natural wood staircases, especially in oak. With its beautiful tones and distinctive grain, oak is synonymous with luxury and timeless quality. Oak also retains its wonderful natural colour and suits a traditional or contemporary setting.
LIGHTING YOUR STAIRCASE
A staircase offers opportunities for a striking, yet practical, lighting scheme. Here, the gentle flush wall lights add a glow to brighten the treads and accentuate the curves and lines of the staircase. In a compact, dark area, the subtle use of lighting can softly open up the space and provide your stairs with a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
BESPOKE GLASS BALUSTRADE
A glass balustrade looks elegant from every angle and is increasingly used to stunning effect in both modern and period properties. The light-enhancing properties of bespoke glass panels allow the beauty of the wooden treads to shine through while maximising the feeling of space and light. Our team at Acorn Bespoke Carpentry and Joinery designed and installed this balustrade which is precision-made from the highest quality toughened safety glass.
FRESH LIMED FINISH
To lighten a dated, dark staircase consider giving it a modern look with a limed finish. This is like a white wash, gives a light, refreshing appearance to wood while still highlighting the beauty of the grain. The simple chalky tones have a pleasing effect and are becoming a key trend for top interior designers and home renovators.
