ᐅ Color design of the staircase in the living area, choice of materials

Our staircase will be located in the open space/gallery area and will likely be a quarter-turn steel stringer or folded plate staircase. Since it will be positioned in the middle of the room, it should also be visually appealing.
The stairs connect to solid wood floorboards made of pine or possibly larch or Douglas fir on both the ground floor and the upper floor, which we might stain darker.
However, there is a meeting of different materials and colors at both transitions to the floor. The risk is that the color tone will only be an approximate match, so we are considering choosing something "completely different."
Are there any ideas regarding this "problem" of clashing colors/materials? A steel staircase might be less comfortable to walk on, and a rustic steel staircase with diamond plate or similar looks stylish but might be too dominant in a not very large open-plan space.
Perhaps someone has pictures or ideas...

pagoni202011 Nov 2020 12:58THIS is the breakthrough in my thoughts!!! For pickup, I still have my professional horse-drawn carriage. And... I read that the buyer pays for return shipping, if the staircase ends up protruding from the house. Hey @rick2018, do you still have room for something like that? The things you find, I’m cracking up...
I once saw a tram car integrated into a house as a conservatory; it looked like it had just crashed right into the house. Great, but with this thing, you could really imagine something...

I would appreciate seeing some pictures 🙂
Sure... currently looking something like this, a steel frame with thin wooden steps laid on top... no details yet, but the supplier wants to offer us something for this. Sounds exciting; details are still open.I also like it, for whatever reason, when the steel frame protrudes like this; you could probably "attach" a lightweight metal railing onto it. That way, you would have a functional staircase at first and could later, after completing the flooring or simultaneously when choosing/coordinating the surface finish, work on the final details. Maybe even without risers, like in the first picture... let’s see what comes next.

You’re stuck there.........
Men just like big toys......... I know that well!
We have a raw steel staircase, and I think I mentioned this before: it is not slippery at all (wood is actually more slippery!). So, it’s very comfortable to walk on. It’s also low-maintenance. The appearance is certainly a matter of personal taste, but I find it very modern, discreet, and delicate. Instead of a handrail, we have a glass wall. In your case, the glass could also follow the shape of the staircase, leaving the area underneath open.
