A neglected area of the home is often the staircase. This is a mistake, as it is usually placed front and center and is seen by everyone who enters the home. The staircase can be a mundane, run-of-the-mill space that sticks out for the lack of thought and design. Or the staircase can become a true focal point, drawing the eye upward, down a hall or into a specific room.
Beautiful hardwood stairs with wrought-iron pickets and hardwood handrails can make a dramatic difference to the entry of your home. And there are ways to cut costs without sacrificing beauty, such as using hollow-core aluminum pickets that give the look of expensive wrought iron for only half the cost.
