Wooden stairs to the second floor in a private house (75+ Photos): important points you should pay attention to when choosing
Ecostyle Wood stairs to the second floor are gaining popularity more and more. I propose to consider the most popular species.
And they were completely right, since the objects made of wood serve not one or two years, but decades, with a professional approach to processing.

Classification of wooden stairs
Despite the fact that today a lot of materials, wood remains one of the most popular.
Light combination with a bright interior
Tree:
- reliable;
- looks great;
- does not emit harmful substances into the air;
- not expensive
Today we will tell about the wooden. About their types, device, installation options and some other points. So, let's begin.
Complete your home with this element.
All, including wooden, stairs can be divided into several groups:
- Marching
- Screw.
- Swing.
- Parade.
One of the designs in the performance of staircases
There is also an attic. Most often - straight or folding. First of all, they must be functional and safe. Therefore, they do not have any finishing.

Marching
Marching received the name in honor of the march - a kind of continuous canvases of the steps. There may be several, as a rule, no more than three.
Wooden, decorated with rich wrought iron railing
In this case, between each of them is a platform of exactly the same width.
The optimal number of steps, based on the length of the human step - 10 - 15 pieces. If you do less or more, it will be inconvenient to climb.
An interesting and functional solution - one of the stairs steps smoothly flows to the desk
Marches are:
- opening and closed; they differ in that the former have approaches, the latter do not;
- straight and turning.
Ladder-bookshelf - practical and functional
Rotary marching can be:
- letter G: the angle of rotation is 90 degrees;
- the letter P: the turning angle is 180 degrees;
- trapezoid: angle of rotation in the range from 90 to 180 degrees;
- spirals.
High railings make use safer.
Or to combine several types, suppose, a swing-type main staircase with a spiral.
The undoubted advantage of the marching is that there is free space under it, which can be turned, for example, into a pantry or, say, a dressing room.
When designing a structure, pay maximum attention to its ergonomic dimensions.
Screw
Installation methods are several:
- On the supporting pole.It acts as a center around which the steps twist. The screw on the support pole can stand anywhere, even in the center of the room.
More comfortable for lifting will be a construction divided into several marches.
At the same time it will look great, talking about the presence of taste from the host.
The flight of stairs is visually separated from the living area with clear glass.
- On the support post and the wall. The most commonly used wedge-shaped steps from foreign companies. Their narrow part is attached to the support post, and the wide - to the wall.
In the string in the form of a spiral
This staircase is one of the most difficult, but also one of the most beautiful. For this reason, the price "bites."
Top down floral view
The spiral staircase can turn up to 360 degrees. Therefore, firstly, the ceiling height must be at least 2 meters and, secondly, the construction itself must be open, i.e. without steps - so that the legs do not slide off.
The distance between the steps makes the stairs visually easy
Swing
Swinging can be attributed to the front doors (we will talk about them later), since they are placed opposite the main entrance - in most cases.
Laconic design with chess steps
Modifications are different:
- with one march, from which two branches emanate in opposite directions (it has either a common platform, or is divided into two more marches), suitable for small rooms;
Neat screw design
- with two marches and a common ground; true if the ground floor need a living room.
Parade
Front doors are available only for large houses.
Creative and wooden in a private house
They speak about the high social status of a person and, which is quite logical, are made of precious wood.
Railing can be:
- wooden;
- metal with wood inserts;
- completely without railings (instead of them horizontal or vertical cables, glass fences).
Marching view with platform between floors
The front door can have any decoration:
- decorative tiles;
- carving;
The decoration of the steps can be exactly the same or similar in color and the opposite. There are ceremonial staircases and absolutely no steps.
Charming indoor design
On the front staircase you can put a carpet - it will bring a slight touch of comfort.
return to menu ↑Features of the device
The described species, like all the others, more precisely, their steps, are attached:
- on kosouri;
- on the string;
- on the boltsy.
Avant-garde design is difficult but affordable
Below is a description of these systems.
return to menu ↑Fastening of ladder steps on kosoura
Kosour is a beam between two sites (adjacent floors). The wooden structure has two of them, the width is exactly the same as that of the march.
Wooden staircase with asymmetrical marches
Grooves are cut on the top of the beam for laying faults. However, there are other ways that do not imply a violation of the integrity of the structure:
- accommodation on fillies;
- placement on a metal support.
Furniture can be placed in free space.
The traditional version, with two kosoura, is not required. You can make one or three beams. The wooden construction on the kosoura will suit those for whom not only appearance is important, but also “filling”.
Looks in the interior is rich and solid
Such a construction will serve faithfully for more than a dozen years.
return to menu ↑Mount steps on the bowstring
Bowstring is almost the same as kosour. In fact, these are the same beams, only the steps do not look out from above, but hide below.
Metal forged railings for nobility
Mounting bowstring is performed in the following scenarios:
- grooves are cut from the inside of the beam (it is necessary that the misdemeanors are connected either with the string or with each other, otherwise the steps will come out of the pits);
- the grooves are replaced with a bar or a metal corner; it connects with a string near the offense.
Crazy beauty attracts
In the first situation, most of the pressure is transmitted to the string, in the second - to the support. Therefore, when cutting grooves look at the string. It must be very durable.

Mount steps on the bolts makes it weightless. Bolz is a special bolt. One part of it is literally tightly attached to the wall, the other is also strongly attached to the wrongdoing.
Unusual design in eco style
Mount stair treads on Bolza makes it weightless. Bolz is a special bolt. One part of it is literally tightly attached to the wall, the other is also strongly attached to the wrongdoing.
The result is a ladder floating in the air, which, despite this, is able to withstand two adults at the same time.
Excellent option to perform
Experts attach one edge of the offense to the wall with the help of horizontal bolts, and the other edge of the misdemeanor - to the steps by means of vertical bolts. There are other methods. But this one is the most popular.
Creative style even here
And not without reason:
- assembly is not a big deal (relatively);
- it is possible to adjust individual elements;
- it is possible to replace one element without disassembling the entire structure.
Wooden with metal railing in a stylish interior
Brave is to put a wooden staircase only with horizontal bolse. It looks so that one careless movement and steps crumble.
Not everyone dares to rise and, moreover, to descend. Invite your family and friends and find out which of them has strong nerves.
On a metal base looks no less harmonious.
Now you can buy a set of such stairs. But the work should still be entrusted to the working team, people who are familiar with all the nuances of their work.
And no matter how good the instruction is, in order to spoil everything enough inaccuracies of one centimeter. And still half the trouble if you mess up the set.
Emphasizes the individuality of the interior
Remember that such a negligent attitude can lead to injuries - yours and your loved ones.
Use of expensive woods
Designs styles
return to menu ↑Classic
It involves the use of expensive wood. Differs in restraint, including dim colors. Finishing may not be too elaborate carving, for example, on the railing. The classic must have a “continuation” in the interior - a table similar in style, strict chairs.
Dark classic with glass partition
Neutral style
The main principle is simplicity. Simplicity in shade, additional elements. It can be made of any material, both expensive and cheap. This look does not stand out at all, but dissolves in the interior, it does not focus on it.
Support Post Structure
Modern
Wood is combined with other materials - primarily metal, plastic and glass. The steps are illuminated by LED neon colors. Also, as in the case of the classic, modern staircase looks only if there are exactly the same interior details.
Humorous design
Country music
Wood complements textiles. For example, carpet, lining on misconduct. At first glance it may seem that country is the style of high society. However, this is not the case. Rather, it's just a cozy style.
Sophisticated design intent
There is no place for a stone or a massive tree like oak in it. To match the style, you can put a brightly colored rug in the hallway, hang curtains of the same material as the carpet or overlays on misdemeanors, put fresh flowers on the window sills.
The most sophisticated type of screw
For such a ladder, it is best to choose natural, without any impurities, wood of natural shades. She may be birch.
return to menu ↑How to choose a tree?
The choice of a tree will determine how long it will last and how it will look.
Classic with wooden handrail
If you doubt your abilities, then ask a specialist for help - so you will not make mistakes and lose big money.
The first thing you notice is hardness.
Modern design looks very stylish
Based on this indicator, wood is divided into four groups:
- soft wood - all species of pine and spruce belong to it;
- medium wood - it includes larch, walnut, a fruit tree such as a pear.
Each type is different in structure and color.
- solid wood - it includes oak, ash, yew;
- very hard wood - ash refers to it.
Without fencing makes it visually spacious
For steps, since most of the load is directed at them, soft wood is not suitable.
They can be made of solid (oak, ash, yew) and, if financially available, very hard wood (ash). Medium and softwood can go to the risers or railings.
White classic in the interior
Another criterion is humidity. It is best to give preference to dry (no more than 12% moisture) wood.
Otherwise, you may encounter problems such as cracking of the upper layer and even distortion of the structure. This is especially true for rooms with high humidity and sudden temperature changes.
Modern staircase in the attic area
Now you know what a wooden staircase can be, what materials it is made of, how to use it in the interior.
Dark color steps in wood combination
The main thing to remember is that the stairs should not only be beautiful, but also able to withstand the load.
Delightful stairs
Create beauty with the help of various types to the second floor
I like the front stairs more. Looks expensive. The risers have decorations. Handrail wooden or metal. Well, the fact that it can still be decorated. Putting on her carpet. It gives home creativity.
Now the stairs for houses are popular, and especially from wood. The tree looks great, eco-friendly, does not emit harmful substances, at an affordable price. They can serve you for a long time. I have a wooden marching staircase right at home. Marching are so named after the march, it is like a continuous canvas in the form of steps. I have it decorated with wrought iron railings. It is considered the optimal number of steps 10-15 pieces. With more or fewer steps, it will not be entirely convenient to climb it. The person will be tired when walking. Better to have high railings, they make your stairs safer. I have a pantry under a marching ladder at home, which is convenient. I keep my tools there. There are also grand staircases. They are suitable for large houses. They look creative, expensive. Made of fine wood. And of course they can be decorated by putting an expensive carpet on them. Be sure to know that the ladder must withstand the load. Soft wood is not suitable for steps. To entrust the manufacture of stairs is better for a professional. I hired people to do everything correctly and reliably. I have a solid ladder at home, which I am pleased with.
Of course the tree has a huge advantage over other materials. And this concerns not only the stairs, but in general any things in the house. As for the stairs, of course, I really like spiral staircases; this is both a work of art and an interesting engineering approach. But when installing such a ladder, of course, you need to take into account the smallest details, as for example people with limited motor functions, such ladders are not convenient. Certainly the most comfortable are the grand staircase, they are universal, but I agree that the wooden grand staircase is not very suitable for the street. It seems to me that for the street it’s still better to put concrete stairs, but inside the house, of course, it’s best to put wooden stairs, of course, if you can afford it the way, unfortunately nowadays, wood is very, very expensive material and not everyone can his allow.
It seems to me that wooden stairs are the best option. This is a classic. In addition, as mentioned in the article, it is environmentally friendly (which is important in our time). They are suitable for any style of the house, and can also become a highlight of the interior with an interesting design performance.
The only thing that upset is that the article is not enough about security. And the stairs - this is an extremely dangerous thing. The photos are beautiful designer stairs. But, basically, they are not very suitable for ordinary residential buildings, where every day all family members go up and down many times. Including children, the elderly. In this embodiment, the wooden staircase should be primarily comfortable and reliable, and not to amaze with its creative decision. It may have been worthwhile to indicate in the article directly which variants of the stairs are suitable for which family members living in the house. Because if a lonely glamorous guy lives, climbing to the top once a week, he can afford the most unusual designer ladder. And if this is a family with grandparents-dogs, then here. Alas, most of the stairs from the photos to this article categorically do not fit.
I have a small house and therefore I installed the staircase to the second floor. Now I understand that it is not very comfortable, although it does not take up space. I am increasingly inclined to install a spiral staircase made of wood. Most likely I will install it myself, as firms take a lot of money. The main thing is to think through the project to the smallest detail and make the stairs not too steep and comfortable. I would also like to install a railing, since there are small children in the house and it is not very safe without a railing. I found the benefit in the photographs about an option that is suitable for me, and it remains only to perform something very similar. there are some difficulties with space, as it is very limited, but I think if I want I can solve this issue. I decided on a tree and it will be an oak tree. I will process it myself. It’s good that I worked in a furniture factory for a couple of years and have some experience in wood processing.
