21 August 2024

Indoor modern staircase installations, by virtue of their exposure as a focal point if only for the size of the structure, are the subject of interior design aimed at going far beyond the narrow function. We have often mentioned how many internal stairs, especially modern open staircase ideas, are able to create a kind of connection between other elements of an environment.

As a central connection of style, an interior staircase complete with stair railings suitable for the project (glass balustrade, stainless steel cable railing or many more railing ideas) and other details all equally important among interior architectural features, reflects and multiplies the mood of the space. Be it space-saving internal stairs or large sculptural staircase designs, the result pursued is the maximum fusion of functionality and aesthetics, in relation to the chosen style. Let’s see three examples of special interior stairs and open staircase ideas designed for well-defined taste spaces.

Original interior stairs: example of open staircase Vista Project- Brescia, Italy

An open staircase represents the most customizable stair design both in terms of anatomical structure, which can also be mixed, regarding the choice of the stair railing, regarding the combinations between materials and finishes.The Vista Project model by Officine Sandrini is just the perfect prototype of this philosophy, understood as the maximum customization in one among interior open staircase ideas.

The demonstration of this choice of creativity tailored to the needs of the customer is right before your eyes: if the wooden stairs for interior can in some cases make you think of something traditional and not innovative, here it is certainly the opposite thanks to the powerful combination of wood and metal. This oak staircase whose supporting base was made of metal is characterized by the presence of a blind parapet (right side to rise), which together with the other metal parts was painted in the color cloudy bronze – sample paint colors -.

The open stair side beam so conceived plays with the natural light and the artificial light, and the reflected light is underlined by the alternating rectilinear and curvilinear pattern of this shaped open stair. The steps have a thickness of 80 mm and are made of solid oak brushed and painted always sample, in perfect harmony with the warmth of the chromatic element chosen for the blind parapet, one of more impactful stair railing ideas.

The uniformity of the ramp is interrupted by the insertion of bronzed mirror strips in the front of each step, and contributes to create bright accents in contrast with the density of the oak. It is evident, at this juncture more than in others, how much a railing of internal open staircase ideas of a certain type is able to not only complete but strongly characterize the whole modern staircase design; the care with which they choose stair parts is something that is reflected on the entire interior design.

Current interior stair design: glass open staircase example – Guess Shop in Rome, Italy

Here is another example of interior open staircase ideas that have nothing to do with simple and obvious internal masonry stairs, and that certainly do not go unnoticed! This modern staircase has also been designed to meet specific functional and aesthetic needs.The internal stairs designed for the Guess store via Del Corso in Rome, enjoy a very strong scenic effect and have required the development of some technical details certainly not used frequently in an open staircase design.

First of all, the width of the ramp, from 140 cm up to 245, is really indicative of a monumental stair design, and the glance is very effective. Steps and risers have been provided without real structures or support frames. In fact, the steps (not open riser) with a thickness of 6 cm were made with laminated glass with SGP interlayer (SentryGlas Plus): also called glass “anti hurricane” it has high hardness, rigidity and mechanical strength, so much so as to guarantee the seal without any bearing elements.

The removable faceplates allow, in case of need, the control of the lighting technology.The final effect of these open stairs is magical: a sort of tape (given by stair treads and closed riser) transparent and bright, accompanied by a railing for internal staircase/ glass balustrade! A truly extraordinary result in the true sense of the word!         

Modern staircase ideas: example of Luxo model cantilever modern staircase variants

Among the many and various ideas for covering internal stairs, open staircase ideas or floating stairs available on the market are natural stone (the internal stairs in natural stone have a timeless charm) and the Solid Surface, also called acrylic stone.Among the interior stairs that aim to integrate perfectly into spaces of modern style, environments where you often appreciate a certain essentiality of the forms, we find the model Luxo by Officine Sandrini.

In modern and contemporary contexts in fact there is not only the possibility of inserting iron staircase designs for interiors or open staircases made of stainless steel, but it is possible to play with innovative combinations or unexpected details.The desire to surprise with something unexpected led to the design of the Luxo line, in which marble and Corian are used as coverings for the steps of these unusual cantilevered staircase ideas.

The obvious peculiarity lies in the central steel or LED insert of each single step almost as decorating ideas: the light element, creative with steel and extreme in the case of backlight, somehow interrupts the regularity of the ramps and adds that unexpected touch, both night and day, that makes the staircase unforgettable, and so the interior design of the room that hosts this  staircase idea, a living space, a dining room ecc.  The rigorous finishes perfectly match the essentiality, the clean lines of the shapes. If marble is the chosen covering material, its luxurious and timeless essence is perfectly balanced by the super modern effect of steel and the essential structure.

As in all interior projects,  open staircase ideas and other types of stairs must also be studied not only to better integrate as placement, structural anatomy and dimensions, but above all to amplify the desired footprint of the whole context as well as the other furniture elements present.
