Ash Staircase – Cut String – Black Metal Spindles
This staircase is a striking focal point in a light-filled, modern hallway. It combines clean lines with subtle detailing to create a balanced yet commanding presence. The design, materials, and finishes have been carefully chosen to echo the contemporary architectural language of the space.
The standout feature of this staircase is its bold monochrome palette. The treads, handrails and caps are finished in a deep black, providing a dramatic contrast against the white risers and stringers. This two-tone scheme draws attention to the clean geometry of the staircase and complements the minimal aesthetic of the surrounding hallway. The texture contrast also adds depth—matte white elements soften the look, while the black elements showcase a rich grain and finish.
The balustrade uses a combination of straight and rectangle iron spindles, powder-coated in matte black to match the handrail. These spindles bring a sense of lightness and rhythm, visually connecting the lower and upper floors without overwhelming the space. The choice of wrought iron ensures durability while maintaining a refined appearance.
Architecturally, the cut string format adds a sharp, tailored finish to the staircase profile, while the extended first step adds a touch of traditional elegance to an otherwise modern form. Altogether, the design effortlessly blends form and function, enhancing the grand, open character of the hallway.
