Three Types of Outdoor Staircases for Your Home

As the weather grows warmer and you are spending more time outdoors, you may be thinking about how you can update the exterior of your home to give it a little extra curb appeal. A great way to do so is with a one-of-a-kind staircase.

Especially if your current steps have seen years of wear, this update is one that will provide added safety, as well as a touch of style. And depending on the location of your staircase, there are a few different options to consider.

If your front porch needs an update, a straight metal staircase is perfect for the job. Designed with aesthetic appeal in mind, you can make the staircase a few feet wider than usual to arrange flower pots and seasonal décor.

Another great idea is to add a metal railing to your staircase. A metal railing will provide additional safety for children and elderly family members while showing off your home’s style.

Curved

Step down from a deck or porch in style with a one-of-a-kind curved staircase. With its flowing design, a curved staircase will look natural and at-home in your backyard retreat.

Depending on your home’s aesthetic and the location of your stairs, metal treads are a wonderful option to prevent slips and falls on rainy days.

Spiral

Instead of having to walk through your entire house on gorgeous summer days, get right from the balcony to the backyard with a spiral staircase. This attractive option provides you with an extra area to entertain guests during outdoor barbecues and ensures that your children won’t be running through the house with wet swimsuits and dirty feet during summer play dates.

Whether you are looking for a touch of elegance or whimsy, your custom spiral design can capture either emotion.
