Lighted Traditional Staircase
With all the rage over contemporary style in today’s market, here's a reminder of how a Traditional Staircase can be equally as clean and beautiful. We installed this staircase and railing in a home overlooking the state capital building in downtown Salt Lake City. Mahogany handrails with painted balusters set 1-1/2" apart to give the guardrail an equal positive/negative feel. An upper horizontal painted line adds interest, especially in the curved railing. In addition 6" crystal spheres were attached atop of each of the main newels. And to finish it off, we installed a light inside so that when turned on, light emanates from the frosted glass windows in the top of the newel and up through the crystal ball giving off a soft glow.
