Put 2020, and your old staircase behind you…

It’s no secret that 2020 was rough in every possible way. Financially, emotionally and physically. And, for so many of us, the recovery process is still very much ongoing. Because how can you be expected to move on when we’re still in the midst of it all? 

Whilst there is little we can do to change the current lockdown situation in the UK, one positive move we can make is to transform tired, dull or plain garish parts of our home, breathing a little fresh air into the place we’re spending all of our time at the moment.

Yep, that’s right, we’re talking about your stairs.

A part of the home so well-loved, but often so neglected, the staircase is your way of getting around your space. It’s also one of the largest parts of your home and should be treated as a focal point.

So, if you’re sick of looking at the same creaky, dusty, worn-in set of stairs, here are three of our favourite 2021 interior trends that you can make a reality, even during lockdown.

1. Show a little metal

Metallics have definitely moved in and out of fashion throughout the years, but during 2020 there was a significant rise in industrial architecture which has certainly continued well into 2021.

This particular trend is of course pretty specific and will only suit more modern/contemporary interiors, but if you’re looking to bring some of the outdoors in, opting for stripped back metal bannisters, spindles and stair frames can be a fantastic way of doing just that.

2. The return of the floating staircase

Okay, so floating staircases are certainly nothing new, but they are amongst the hottest trends of 2021, and can really help to make your staircase a focal point of your home.

A beautifully modern approach to stairs, you can create a floating staircase that runs straight between floors, or curves and bends to create a unique and seamless feature. 

3. Open up the space with glass panelling

Whether you love modern interiors or are looking to inject more natural light into your home, opting for glass within your staircases can be an easy way of letting more light flow through.

Giving the illusion of a bright, open space – translucent glass is a firm favourite amongst staircase designers in 2021.

Turn 2021 into the year your stairs got their big transformation

A big change in your everyday environment can work absolute wonders on your mental health. But revamping your stairs? Well, that can add value to your home and make the current lockdown seem more manageable now that you have something pretty to look at.

So, what are you waiting for? If you’re looking for the best of the best when it comes to staircase design then look no further than Pear Stairs.
