Art on Stairs
We climb our stairs everyday, they are a huge feature in any house.
As we climb our eyes are drawn to the stair risers with every step we take.
So why not bring your staircase to life and make a truly unique feature by installing beautiful, bespoke hand-drawn art on your stair risers?
"Truly unique"
The risers you see on these staircases have been drawn directly onto hand crafted, painted wooden tiles and then varnished for protection.
However, I do offer a variety of alternative riser material to suit the practicality of your staircase and to compliment the style of your room.
How does it work?
Commissioning a project like this will require me to pay you a visit. I will need to see your staircase (or schematics if your staircase is not installed) to understand and advise what preparation work is required for both the treads and the risers. The preparation work will need to be organised by yourselves. At this meeting we will discuss what art you would like me to see on the risers and what material will best suit the demands of your staircase.
Choosing your art theme is the fun bit and I can pretty much add any subject on them. What subject would you like on yours?
The ideas are endless and I can help you make this decision.
From this initial visit I will then be able to provide you with a quote.
Once happy to proceed, I will initially create visuals in Photoshop® of your art on your staircase.
Once finalised, if proceeding with wooden stair risers then I will then start to hand-craft the tiles. This involves initial shaping, priming, painting to the desired colour and applying the chosen art. (If an alternative material is chosen for your risers then I will inform you of the necessary process.)
Once finished, every tile is then protected with a hard-wearing varnish. The tiles are then delivered direct to you ready for installation with specially supplied fixings.
Once completed you are the proud owners of a completely bespoke, eye-catching staircase that most likely will make you the envy of any visitors.
On-going care for the tiles - the tiles are protected with a hard wearing varnish and can be wiped with a damp cloth to remove any scuffs and marks.
Want to discuss your staircase idea? Please don't hesitate to contact me.
