This Week's Ideabook On Houzz: What Says "Quality" In A Home? Wooden Tread Staircases

A reader recently shared pictures of her newly completed home with me, a home which was custom built with outstanding craftsmanship. One thing that caught my eye and made the house stand out as exceptional was the attention to detail, including a beautiful wooden tread staircase. It is details such as these that say "quality" and I was inspired to see what examples of wooden tread staircases could be found on Houzz.

As you will see, there was no shortage of wonderful staircases to showcase. What I find interesting is that the attention to detail doesn't stop with the stairs. If time and money is spent getting this detail right, equal attention is given to the surrounding areas.


Sullivan Conard Architects

Here is traditional architecture at its best. The dark stair treads and handrail create a wonderful contrast against the millwork seen in this entry.


Hirsch Associates

Steel, glass and dark wood are combined in an strikingly artistic and modern way on this staircase.


Mark English Architects

Is this a staircase or a sculpture? The dark wood paired with white walls and marble floors highlights the sweeping lines of the staircase.

Logan's Hammer Building & Renovation

This home embraces the features I love most in a well made home: natural materials, excellent craftsmanship and the obvious thought given to make the most of each nook and cranny. The built-in work area and glass front cabinet are wonderful examples of details that can only be found in a quality home.
