Decorating the Staircase in the House: 160+ (Photo) Wood, Tiles, Stone

Metal staircase finishing

Those elements of modular metal stairs that are mass-produced or made to order already have a neat finished surface. If the staircase structure is designed and installed independently, then it is necessary to finish it.

The design can be very diverse

The stair railing can be purchased ready-made, as a set. All that remains is to do its design.

When painting metal, it is necessary to prepare the surface for a long time and painstakingly, namely :

degrease;
polish;
remove rust.

Therefore, it will be easier to cover everything with plasterboard on all sides. From the outside it will be difficult to tell that it is made of metal. Plywood can be used for finishing, but if you need to get a snow-white shade, then you need to use plasterboard, or better yet, a plasterboard sheet. This material has good mechanical strength, which allows you to build shelves, a rack, or a cabinet in the free space under the structure.

Option of a staircase on a metal frame

Popular design of metal structures made of stone and wood. If you use stone, the floor will turn out cold, which is not very suitable for a living space. But the second option is most suitable, because... this material will soften the metal and add comfort to the home.

Made of wood

For wooden stairs, the same methods are suitable as for metal ones. But wood has advantages, including ease of manual processing, which gives more ideas for design.

This applies to homemade structures, because... ready-made stairs have a ready-made shape and a surface for further painting. If the tree is of a valuable species, then processing is not necessary at all.

Beautiful wooden staircase to the second floor with a smooth turn

Tip For decoration, you can choose shades of brown or make an extraordinary move and use bright colors.

Under the steps, unlike a concrete structure, you can only use paint, but with it the finish can turn out beautiful. A variety of techniques are used, the saturation of the risers is changed, everything is done in the same tone, or a carpet is drawn along the entire staircase . Ready-made stencils for drawing make the task easier. A white staircase structure with black walls will look original.

Fits very organically into any interior

By doing the finishing yourself, you can make the interior of your home exclusive, using all your imagination.

There are frame buildings. They are assembled from individual load-bearing elements, resulting in a voluminous but lightweight structure. This is made exclusively from metal and wood. Such ladders are popular because... They are compact, beautiful, and can fit into any opening.

Special attention should be paid to the design of the stairs

Finishing

A staircase in a private house is an important element of the interior, the appearance of which must be approached carefully. Specific materials and cladding methods are suitable for structures made of metal, wood and concrete. Knowing the right technology, you can do the finishing work yourself.

Wooden stairs

It is easier to finish a staircase made of wood by painting or coating it with decorative and protective compounds. When choosing a coloring product, it is worth considering the type of wood, its operational and external characteristics. So, cheap types of wood, for example, pine, are best covered with stain or tinted varnish.

When choosing a varnish for treating steps, you need to focus on its composition:

Alkyd. By covering the steps of the stairs with this composition, you won’t have to worry about their appearance for a long time. The varnish is resistant to moisture and can withstand temperature changes, and the coating is durable and does not wear out for a long time.

Acrylic. Creates a dense coating that does not fade in the sun and does not turn yellow over time. The surface acquires a gloss that can be compared to a wet effect.

Polyurethane. This is a reliable and durable coating. The varnish can be used both outside and indoors with high humidity. The best option if you need to paint the stairs in the bathhouse.

To finish a wooden staircase, it is better to first apply stain, and then apply a layer of varnish on top of it. Often, only the steps are painted, and elements such as handrails and balusters can only be covered with colorless varnish.

Depending on the type of composition and its consistency, the appropriate tools are selected. Thus, thick and viscous solutions (varnish or enamel) should be applied using a wide brush with stiff bristles, and liquid solutions should be applied using a paint sprayer.

Metal stairs

To refine metal stairs, the cladding method is used. The frame is usually lined with wood; you can choose any type based on your financial capabilities. However, we recommend choosing medium-density lumber.

Finishing the steps of a metal staircase can be either partial or complete. In the first case, only wooden treads are installed, in the second, the frame is sheathed completely.

The entire process of refining a staircase on a metal frame can be divided into several stages:

1. Determine the future design of the staircase and the method of finishing it - partial or full cladding.

2. Select the type of wood, then prepare the necessary parts from it. For partial finishing, only treads are made; for complete finishing, risers, stringers and railings are also needed.

3. The prepared steps are fixed to the metal frame using self-tapping screws. It is recommended to deepen the caps into the wood by 5 mm; these places can be covered with wooden caps.

4. Next, the stringer is installed - the part that will hide the side of the metal frame. The length and width of the stringer is determined by the dimensions of the flight of stairs.

5. The balusters are installed on the already installed steps. To do this, holes are made in the steps, which are filled with glue, and wooden dowels are inserted into them. Balusters are mounted on the resulting pins.

6. The last stage involves installing the handrail and final finishing - painting with stain or varnish.

Concrete stairs

Finishing of concrete stairs is possible using stone, wood, MDF panels, laminate and tiles. The easiest way is to sheathe the structure with wood. But it is worth noting that the concrete base must be perfectly level, otherwise the differences will have to be eliminated.

The complete finishing process includes the following steps:

1. Preparing the base. The surface of a monolithic structure must be leveled. For minor distortions (no more than one centimeter), it will be enough to apply a leveling cement mixture.

2. Installation of plywood. The so-called underlay is made; for this purpose, sheets of plywood 10 mm thick are taken and fragments are cut out in accordance with the size of the treads. Installation is carried out using the adhesive method - on mastic.

3. Installation of steps. The finished wooden elements are coated with glue on the back side and laid on top of the plywood backing. Additionally, the treads are secured with screws. The risers are installed, they are fastened to the treads with self-tapping screws, screwed “into the counter”.

Finishing a staircase with your own hands is quite simple if you choose the right technology and follow the instructions exactly without skipping a single step. Based on the content in this article, any staircase structure can be veneered. But just remember that the quality of the result directly depends on the correctly selected materials.

Fencing

The appearance of the staircase is influenced by the chosen railing. Only in cantilever structures may railings be absent. The rest need them.

Different materials can be chosen:

forging;
glass;
net.

When choosing a suitable project, it is important to take into account the parameters of the room itself

This material does not require special finishing; the railings are simply covered with varnish, stain or paint.

If this is a classic marching structure, then concrete balusters are installed. They have a smooth surface and are simply covered with white paint. Rotary, spiral staircase structures are protected by monolithic railings.

It is important that the staircase is harmoniously combined with the decor and furniture in the room

If you will use the free space under the ladder, you can use drywall. With its help, you can organize storage space, pantry, bathroom or other area. For drywall, white water-dispersion paint is suitable. This is especially important if the hall is large enough and the ceilings are high. I use white color in the design of the living room, and, as a rule, it is combined with the lobby.

Concrete stairs

Depending on the design, the finishing of the internal staircase and walls can be plastered. In this case, wooden treads are placed on the steps, or the concrete surface is polished, plastered, or painted.

The cladding option depends on the overall design

Such steps are usually prepared to order, and the surface is already refined. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the wall to which the staircase structure is adjacent. Its decoration should be monochromatic, without unnecessary decoration, so as not to distract attention from the staircase itself.

Combined option

This design option may have, for example, a concrete stringer and glass or wooden steps. Ready-made steps can be purchased already in full readiness, therefore, all that remains is to finish finishing the stringer.

It is imperative to carefully consider the lighting of the flight of stairs

Finishing

Concrete is a monolithic and fairly strong base, therefore, finishing does not stop with paint and sanding. For concrete, you can use any material that can withstand high abrasion loads.

Any material is acceptable for finishing concrete

Options for finishing concrete stairs

Parquet board

For concrete, you can use any material that is used as a floor covering. Parquet can be replaced with laminate, traditional or polymer. Laminate can imitate the texture and shape of a board, but its service life differs from the original. So, you can decorate the edges of the steps in a short time.

Parquet can be replaced with laminate

Cork tiles

Cork can be used as a tile or a rolled floor covering. Cork insulates well from excess noise, so such a staircase will definitely not creak. It is better to use cork for the floor in a room adjacent to the stairs, or for decorating a flight of stairs.

Cork insulates well from excess noise

Tree

The difficulty of selecting material for processing steps only arises if they have a non-standard shape. For example, radius, triangular, curvilinear. Thus, wooden overlays will be prepared to order. There are also ready-made steps for a traditional straight flight of stairs. Therefore, there will be no problems with this.

The design must be truly reliable

Marble

Marble or other stone decoration in the interior is used much less frequently than wood. Everything is explained by the high cost of this material. But the material is so durable that it can last as long as the building itself.

Marble is a very durable material

Carpet

This material has its advantages and disadvantages. Carpeting is used if you want to create coziness, if there are small children in the house. The carpet is mounted on the concrete surface using glue. Covering the edges of the steps with carpet will prevent a person walking from slipping.

Create comfort with carpet

Creating harmony with the coating in the lobby

The steps can be made of ceramics or porcelain stoneware. This option is rarely used in modern interiors, because... Cold materials are used, they are more often used for the porch of a house. But, if the floors in the room adjacent to the staircase are tiled, then it will look very harmonious.

Porcelain stoneware steps - a strong and reliable option

Combination

Mosaic tiles are one of the most beautiful and interesting materials when decorating stairs in a house. And to decorate the entire staircase with tiles, you can use a combined option. For example, decorate the risers with tiles and line the treads with wood. Forged railings are well suited for such a staircase, given that the tiles will create a different pattern on each step.

Oriental theme using mosaics

Using paint for a concrete structure

Typically, paint is used for products made of wood or metal, but concrete structures can also be decorated with paint. Only, you need to choose a paint that is very resistant to erasing.

In order for the paint to lay down in an even layer, the surface is first sanded, dust removed, and primed. Before direct painting, the edges of the concrete are protected with a metal corner.

This coating will last a long time and will help extend the life of the base itself - concrete.

Before applying paint, you need to prepare the surface

Use of carpets on concrete, wooden buildings

Pile is the only similarity between carpet and pile. The choice of carpets is large, there are many patterns and colors that allow you to complement and create an interesting interior. Carpets are not glued to the surface, but are fixed using grippers.

Carpets will look good on wood and concrete structures. But, before laying the carpet, the concrete must be primed and painted.

This coating will complement the created interior.

The best finishing solutions

Selection of finishing material

Depending on the type of staircase (concrete, metal, wood), a specific finishing option is selected, and a combination of different materials is also allowed. For example, concrete steps are predominantly finished with wood, but fences can be made of forged, steel or glass parts - it all depends on the preferences of the owners and the overall design of the room.

When choosing material for stair steps, it is important to take into account the following nuances:

Safety and practicality. It is recommended to use only durable and wear-resistant materials - the durability of the final finish depends on this. At the exit, the steps should not be too slippery, otherwise there is a risk of falls and injury.

Combination with flooring. It is best to choose those materials for cladding that will harmonize well with the surrounding space. It is especially important to pay attention to the finishing of the floor not only on the first, but also on the second floor.

Type of staircase construction. Here it is worth focusing on the geometry of the march. For a straight single-flight structure, you can select any materials, but for spiral models and staircases with a turn, a special approach is needed. So, when choosing tiles or stone, you will have to work hard, because such materials need to be adjusted to the shape of the steps, which leads to high costs.

In addition to the above, you need to take into account such a criterion as sound insulation. If the staircase is located next to the bedroom or children's room, it is important to ensure that the finishing coating on the steps is not too noisy. Next, we will consider the main types of cladding materials, their features and advantages of use.

Carpet

Carpeting is an ideal solution for families with small children and elderly people who are sensitive to excessive noise. Such material can be either woven or pile. The latter option is more preferable, since it gives not only silence, but also pleasant tactile sensations while walking up the steps.

Among the main advantages of carpet are:

sound absorption and heat retention;
ensuring comfort and safety when walking on steps;
affordable price of the material and its practicality;
ease of maintenance and the ability to refine the staircase.

+55 photos of models Fixation of the coating is carried out in different ways: with glue (in the case of concrete stairs), using skirting boards, corners, thresholds or rods. The latter method involves installing and securing carpet holders at the junction of treads and risers.

Before laying the carpet, it is cut to the required size. To do this, first measure the flight of stairs - length and width, taking into account the height of the steps for bending the material.

Linoleum and laminate

These are two more simple and affordable solutions that do not require special installation skills. Linoleum is good because it is elastic, it can easily be laid on steps and secured with metal strips or corners. This material is simply fixed to concrete steps with special glue. At worst, if the staircase is made of wood, the canvas can simply be carefully nailed down with small nails.

Linoleum flooring is smooth and therefore does not require much effort to clean. It is enough to periodically wet clean a staircase with such a finish.

As for laminate, this finishing material is also not bad. However, it is only suitable for concrete and wooden stairs. If you have a frame model installed, you must first cover it with chipboard or OSB. It is recommended to choose a durable and moisture-resistant laminate, product class 31 or higher.

Finishing with laminate is simple. The panels are installed on the steps: a solid strip is suitable for the tread, and a cut part of it is suitable for the riser. As a finishing touch, the protruding corners of the treads are finished with laminated L-shaped thresholds or panels.

In the video: finishing the stairs with laminate with a profile.

MDF panels

MDF panels are also suitable for finishing staircase structures in a private house. This is a good alternative to natural wood. Thanks to modern technologies, it is now possible to produce durable but lightweight overlays for steps that imitate wood.
