Interior Design Highlights Stair Rods This 2012

May 24, 2012 - PRLog -- This year, aside from kitchens and bathrooms, homeowners have switched interest in personalizing their interior design through their staircases.

Despite being a distinct part of the entryway, stairways have always been disregarded as a decorative piece for the home. But having realized their significance in making a good first impression, interior designers as well as homeowners today have put significant amount of attention in coming up with a well-conceived design scheme for this part of the house.

Stair rods used to be conceived as mere support systems for stair runners and not important decorative pieces that help complete a home’s look. Typically made from metal or wood, these long solid bars were installed on both sides of the runner to hold them in place. Their popularity rose in the mid-1900s and was commonly integrated in wealthy Victorian homes with ornamental scrollwork and finials. But it had suffered a major setback during the 1950’s with the rise of wall to wall flooring. Today, with the carpet installation techniques and strict safety standards imposed by building authorities, stair rods have not only been able to maintain their role in promoting stability but also enhanced their aesthetic value in the home setting.

For 2012, the Decorative Hardware Studio introduces new design ideas for stair rods in both solid brass and leaded crystal. This is on top of its custom services for drapery, furniture and door hardware. The Decorative Hardware Studio has been in the business of creating one-of-a-kind home accessories for over thirty years. And with several acclaims from respected local publications such as Weschester Magazine and The Examiner News, clients can rest assured that they are going to get the best value any custom home project.

Rick Trent, one of The Decorative Hardware Studio’s designers, recommends their line-up of Modena, Imperial and Renaissance carpet rods as this would go well with this year’s interior design trends – one being the Industrial look, which pays homage to the 1920s and 30s. DHS carpet rods are custom built in the United States with the finest local brass. So there will definitely be no problems when it comes to quality and maintenance.
