01VILLA RENOVATION
In most villas and townhouses, the staircase is the first thing seen from the entrance. Re-cladding the treads, replacing an old balustrade and adding lighting can modernise the whole hallway without touching the structure.

The added thickness changes step heights at the top and bottom, so the finished heights of the floors above and below are confirmed first to keep every step even — uneven first or last steps are a trip hazard. Nosings need a slip-resistant edge, especially on stone.
Glass balustrades open up a hallway and suit modern interiors; steel or timber suit more traditional ones. Whatever the material, it must be fixed securely and built to a safe height, with gaps small enough that children cannot slip through. Families with young children should mention it at the design stage.
Recessed step lights or a concealed strip under the handrail make the stair safer at night and dramatic in the evening. Cabling is planned before the cladding goes on, which is another reason staircase renovations combine well with wider hallway and flooring works.
