Closed stairs designs are also very aesthetically pleasing, particularly in larger homes with plenty of wide open space. Their highly solid nature ensures a certain presence in the home that is pleasing to the eye and cannot be ignored.
These staircases have a visible (or exposed) stringer, which has usually been painted or stained. If you’re looking for a homier or warmer atmosphere, the stairs can also be covered with carpet.
- Suits any style, from contemporary to traditional
- Provides maximum safety for children and pets

Homeowners opt for open stairs in Canada for two main reasons the first is because they can help the space to feel much larger than it actually is, and the second is that you can see through them to the space beyond (great for getting natural light into the stairwell).
