7 staircase mistakes we see time and again 👇

A staircase should do more than connect two floors. But a few small design decisions can make or break it:

❌ Ignoring building regulations
❌ Choosing the wrong handrail profile
❌ Overlooking flow on curved staircases
❌ Picking materials that don’t suit the property
❌ Chasing trends over longevity
❌ Poor installation planning
❌ Forgetting the finishing touches

The good news? Every one of these can be avoided with the right planning from day one.

It’s in our name...

The bread and butter of what we do here at Handrail Creations is, of course, bespoke timber handrails.

No two staircases are the same, so why should their handrails be? 🪵

Each one of ours is designed for the staircase it belongs to, with every curve, transition and fixing point tailored to the space.

Our approach blends traditional joinery geometry with modern technology. We start with 3D surveys and in-house CAD modelling, then shape each rail on our 5-axis CNC machinery. Every component is pre-jointed and pre-assembled before it reaches site, so installation is quicker and the finish is cleaner.

We work in sustainably sourced hardwoods, from classic European oak and ash to rich American black walnut, sapele, maple and beech. Whichever you choose, our own team designs, makes and fits it, so you deal with one company from the first survey to the final polish.

We make more than 10,000 bespoke handrail components every year, for homes, commercial buildings, heritage properties and curved staircases.

Some handrails are made to be seen. This one was made to be wrapped in leather. ✨

For the new Hermès flagship store on Cadogan Place, we produced a bespoke hardwood handrail to finish a sweeping, bold staircase at the heart of the store.

A flagship retail space needs so much more than a residential staircase does. The handrail has to reflect the brand’s design language and stand up to daily footfall. And for Hermès, that meant clean, flowing lines and a hardwood core precise enough to hold its shape and strength under a leather finish.

Using our specialist CNC technology, we shaped and fully pre-assembled the handrail in our Bolton factory. It was then wrapped in leather on-site before installation.

We love working with some of the UK’s leading retail brands, adding Hermès to the list that also includes Apple, Google, Hugo Boss and Harvey Nichols.

Oak, walnut, ash or sapele? 🪵

There’s no single “best” wood for a handrail. It depends on your space, your style and how the stairs get used.

Fabricated offset spindles, with curves to match the exact pitch of this staircase.

Ash handrails, French polished and square holes chiselled in the underside to perfectly house the balustrade.

A real masterpiece, we loved this one!

“How much does a bespoke handrail cost?” 💷

It’s a question we get asked a lot, but the surprising answer is that the timber isn’t the biggest factor. It’s the complexity of your staircase. But not to worry, our latest guide breaks down what affects the price, from materials to curves to volutes.

It’s all about details

Cast collars, French polishing, hidden fixings.

This residential project gave us a chance to show off what we can do with an existing staircase to bring it to life.

We had a matter of weeks to survey and manufacture over 350 metres of curved, helical and straight oak capping for this atrium, plus over 100 metres of a tailor made leaning rail which was over 320mm wide.

A real showstopper!
