Mr. M, a homeowner in Guildford, approached Hampshire Staircase Refurbishments in the depths of winter with a vision: to open up his staircase, creating a sense of light and space in his home. He sought a solution that would modernise the space while keeping it in harmony with the existing interior design. After booking an initial consultation with us, Mr. M was able to explore a range of design ideas tailored to his requirements.
Our team conducted a complimentary survey and presented Mr. M with several design options. Recognising his desire for an open, airy feel, we recommended removing the original blockwork balustrade, which would significantly increase the light flow and create a greater sense of spaciousness. After careful consideration, Mr. M selected a contemporary design featuring oak newel posts and handrails, combined with sleek black metal tubular spindles. This choice was both practical and stylish, offering a perfect blend of durability and elegance.
The installation was carried out by our skilled, in-house joiners, who meticulously crafted and installed each component. By using high-quality oak and precise joinery techniques, our team ensured that the new staircase would be a lasting feature in Mr. M’s home. The tubular black metal spindles provided a modern contrast to the warm oak, creating a timeless look that would suit both traditional and contemporary décor.
Upon completion, the transformation was remarkable. The once-enclosed staircase was now an inviting, open space, allowing light to flow freely throughout the hallway and creating the airy atmosphere Mr. M had envisioned. His satisfaction with the result was clear; the staircase had become a focal point in his home, enhancing both its style and functionality.

Mr. M from Guildford approached Hampshire Staircase Refurbishments in the middle of winter with a clear vision for his home. He wanted to open up his staircase to create a brighter, more spacious feel in his hallway. His aim was to replace the traditional blockwork balustrade with a design that would allow light to flow more freely, enhancing both the aesthetics and functionality of his living space.
Design Considerations:
Our initial consultation involved a thorough assessment of Mr. M’s existing staircase layout and structure. During this survey, we explored various design options to meet his goals, with a focus on achieving an open and modern feel. We recommended removing the original blockwork balustrade to maximise light flow and suggested a combination of oak newel posts and handrails paired with sleek tubular black metal spindles. This design choice would balance contemporary style with the warmth of natural materials, aligning with Mr. M’s taste and the style of his home.
Solution Overview:
Once the design was finalised, our in-house joiners began the transformation. They removed the blockwork balustrade and installed the new oak newel posts, handrails, and black metal spindles with precision. Using high-quality oak for the structural components ensured durability and added a classic warmth to the staircase, while the black spindles introduced a sleek, modern element. This combination not only increased the flow of light but also created a focal point in Mr. M’s hallway, blending functionality with timeless style.
Outcome:
The completed staircase exceeded Mr. M’s expectations, transforming his hallway into an inviting, open space with enhanced light and flow. The modern design fulfilled his vision, making the staircase a beautiful and practical centrepiece in his home.
