1- Choose stylish finishes
The first step is to choose the microcement finish that best suits the style of the staircase. There are different textures (coarse, medium or fine) depending on the desired finish. The most common is the medium finish, although the rustic one is also a good choice for outdoors and to achieve a rustic style.
2-Brightness to enhance the space of the microcement stairs
Brightness is an essential factor to highlight the style and finishes of the microcement staircase. A good solution is to use lamps and place them in the center or on the sides of the staircase. Another way to enhance the space is to use spotlights and integrate them into the wall to achieve a more indirect and subtle lighting. Both options are equally valid, but choosing one or the other depends on the effect we want to achieve or how close there is a natural light point.
3-Mirrors to enhance the finishes of the microcement staircase
Mirrors are a beautiful and ideal decorative element for decorating microcement stairs. They are a perfect ally since stairs are often located in the darkest areas of the house. It's a good way to enhance brightness in any decorative style.
In addition, mirrors also allow us to play with our imagination. We can opt for several mirrors of different colors, sizes and shapes. If this choice does not convince us, we can always resort to a large mirror to place it in the center of the microcement staircase wall.
4-Bet on the railings
The railings completely transform the appearance of the microcement stairs. There are for all styles and decorative tastes. And they have a similarity with the microcement: it does not require major works for its installation. Glass railings provide an extra touch of elegance and light.
It should be noted that we may come across old railings with dark designs. With glass, they open up to the rest of the rooms and integrate perfectly with any decorative trend. If you prefer minimalism, to achieve a spectacular effect, combine the railing and the steps into a continuous whole with microcement.
5-Wall cladding
But the decorative option that immerses the home in an atmosphere of utmost elegance has a name and surname: the wall cladding.The microcement on the staircase and on the wall creates an atmosphere where the aesthetics of the finishes reach their maximum expression. The wall cladding is ideal for achieving a minimalist style that provides depth, luxury, and refined lines.
If the idea of having the same material on the wall and the staircase is not convincing, we can always resort to stone or wood for the walls. It's an excellent idea to create contrast. There is a wide variety of options to cover the staircase walls.
