Staircase Lighting

Adding A Contemporary Touch With LED Staircase Lighting

The way in which a staircase is constructed is key to knowing what lighting will work best for the space. Interior lighting can be a subtle way of creating warm tones in a home and can be an ideal way to create a relaxed atmosphere throughout. As the staircase is what links a home together, adding lighting can be the perfect solution to ensuring this ambience is carried throughout. Lighting for this area should appear like a soft, gentle glow which is likely to entice the eye, while complementing the surroundings.

By adding wall recessed stair lighting, a wash of subtle light will be casted across the stair creating a beautiful glow. This technique is versatile and ideal to use on any type of stairs making it the perfect choice when wanting to highlight the curves of any staircase. Miniature wall recessed lighting is available and produces a more refined light. Though smaller this light can still catch a eye with its radiance.

Invisible Yet Impactful

By layering lighting on a staircase, an impactful effect can be made which is sure to wow. A combination of wall lights and uplights can be effective in providing a classic stairway with a contemporary touch. To modernise a staircase, consider floor washer which provides an unforgettable architectural feature guaranteed to impress. The underneath of a stairway may be dark and often neglected. Don’t forget this space, add uplights to ensure that no element of a home is left unseen. This will also contribute to adding drama to the surrounding areas.

Invisible lighting is ideal for illuminating open riser staircases while providing a sleek, clean look when the lights are turned off. LED strips are perfect to create a seamless look that will cast a gleaming shadow upon the stairs. A floating effect will also be achieved and is sure to inspire. Not only will this lighting present light on to the stairs but will present a warm glow below the staircase. Placing contour LED strips on each side of a staircase can provide a distinguished look that is sure to excite. This lighting technique will provide drama to any staircase. To inject a bit of fun into a stairway, add colour changing strips with a varied range of fascinating colours that are positive to impress.

Using LED Lighting to Provide a Contemporary Look

There are many ways to light staircases with lighting solutions for all styles and periods of houses. By layering lighting on a staircase, an impactful effect can be made which is sure to wow. A combination of wall lights such as Ochhio’s Io Pico and Sento would provide a beautiful wash of light with more than ample illumination levels.

Uplighters, such as the Nicro LED Uplighter, can be effective in providing a classic stairway with a contemporary touch. When applied with luminaries such as wall lights the wash of light from the wall fittings is complemented by the subtle uplighting, especially on curved staircases as lighting the stairs from above would have flatten the curves and take away from the architectural features of the space, which is something a well thought through lighting design can prevent.

Staircase LED lighting

Staircase LED lighting gives you the opportunity to be creative. With the varied amount of products and varied style of staircases each design brings a new possibility. Staircase LED lighting can be utilised for floating stairs extremely well. By using recessed LED strip lighting or LED tape the light source can be hidden from view under each tread. When lit it creates a beautifully soft floating effect. This lights the tread below as well as casting wonderful shadows under the staircase. 

Recessed LED strip lighting and LED tape are fantastically diverse options to consider for your staircase lighting design. For the ultimate dramatic effect, conceal the LED strips either side of the staircase to lead your way step by step up the stairs. Or for fun, add a colour changing option using RGBW strip lighting or tape. This adds an element of fun to your staircase lighting scheme.

Bespoke Staircase Lighting

Visual beauty, delicacy and timeless originality should underpin bespoke fittings. Each and every product must lend a sense of firmness and luxury to traditional designs; modern pieces, on the other hand, should possess distinctive lightness and originality. With staircases being such a varied area from home to home adding a fitting that can portray personality and create a visual statement is a great design idea. Choosing bespoke lighting is highly significant. The lighting determines the mood and the setting of the area. Ensuring the right lighting is put in place will enhance your space and make it truly fascinating and uniquely your own. From a bold statement in light on a grand scale, dripping with a cascade of glass and Swarovski crystals that will soon shimmer in the sunlight, to the refined and fluid form of silk and blown glass exquisitely enhancing the space it occupies.
