Happy Holidays from Seattle Stair & Design

Don't Skip the Staircase: Holiday Decor for Our Favorite Feature

The holidays are in full swing.  Neighborhoods are aglow with seasonal strands of lights and garlands; families and friends convene for decadent feasts; lists are made and checked twice.

In many homes, the staircase will become a catch all for holiday festivities- a coat check for dinner parties; a precious landing pad for eager children as they await the arrival of Santa Claus; a centerpiece for the entry way. 

Transform your staircase into a spectacle with these decorating tips that range from contemporary to classic, effortless to extravagant.

The sweep of fresh garland on the handrail provides a pop of color to the clean, white balusters and dark treads; the paper whites say "holiday" without a trace of kitsch. 

For those dreaming of a tinsel Christmas. 

Unsure of what to do with all of those holiday cards?  Hang them on your handrail for a colorful, personal touch.

The Forgotten Option: Stair Parts Packages

The above stair was remodeled with a blend of custom and stock parts.  The handrail, newel, cap, and nosing are all custom stair parts created in our shop.  The iron ballusters are part of our selection of stock parts. 

Throughout my time at Seattle Stair & Design, I have found that the bulk of architects, contractors, and potential clients know us best for our grand, shop built stair systems.  Although the shop built stair is indeed a large focus, it represents only a percentage of our capabilities.  When our craftsmen are not fabricating custom spirals or challenging gravity with hidden joinery or glass treads, our shop becomes a haven for custom millwork and affordable stair parts that lend opportunity to any existing staircase.

Not unlike our grand staircases, the range of styles and materials available is limited only by code and imagination.   Our experienced team of designers, architects and engineers collaborate to provide visually striking options that transform any stair into a statement without losing sight of your remodeling budget.

We offer three tiers of stock part packages—custom, stock, or a blend of the two.  Whether you seek a total overhaul or just a new starter newel or handrail system, we take pleasure in transforming staircases even on the smallest scale.
