Reasons to buy a painted wooden staircase
There are several reasons why millions of homes around the UK prefer painted wooden staircases, and we’ve put a list together to help you make up your mind.
Why choose painted wooden staircases for your home’s entry? Here’s why…
The aesthetic you’ve dreamt of
When you’ve imagined what your stairs would look like, you can make those dreams come true with a painted wooden staircase. This particular style makes it easy to bring the colour you’ve been thinking of to life.
With a painted wooden staircase, you can bring your dream aesthetic to life, whether you want a traditional wooden look or a modern, minimalistic design.
Customisability
Another big advantage of painted wooden staircases is their easy customisation. If, after a short time, you feel like a new colour scheme in your hallway, you can quite easily change the colour of your stairs with a fresh lick of paint.
Metal staircases and, of course, glass staircases are much more difficult to customise. So, if you know you’ll want to change your colour scheme in a few years, opt for a wooden staircase.
Versatility
In terms of versatility, painted wooden staircases excel. These particular staircases can suit all different kinds of styles. You can opt for a black bannister with white walls and steps or brown balustrades and a mixture of other colours in your hallway.
That’s the beauty of painted staircases; you can mix and match a huge range of colours to find the perfect aesthetic for your home.
Easy to clean
Painted wooden staircases not only look great, but they’re easy to clean. A simple brush and wipe will rid your beautiful staircase of any dust.
You won’t have to worry about cracking or scratching glass or metal either – another big benefit of wooden-painted staircases.
Protection
Wooden staircases are exceptionally high quality as well as durable for several years. Why? Because the paint that’s used is a high grade, the wood is also varnished and waxed to provide long-lasting quality.
Hallway centrepiece
The most obvious reason for choosing a painted wooden staircase is the impact it would have on your hallway. Think about the first thing you and others see when they enter the property; if it’s the stairs, you should want it to make an impact.
Whether you like it or not, the staircase is at the heart of the hallway so should either blend in effortlessly or make a statement – and painted wooden staircases can do both.
Increases resale value
The final reason behind opting for a painted wooden staircase is the impact it can have on your home’s value. If your current property isn’t your forever home, a financial outlay at this point can prove to have a massive impact on your home’s value in the long run.
Also, when hosting viewings for prospective buyers, what will they see the second they step into your home? Exactly! Make a statement from the off with a beautiful painted wooden staircase.
