Read on to find out more and find inspiration to bring every step to life.

1- Choose finishes with style

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 rustic is also a good choice for exteriors and to achieve a rustic style.

2-Brightness to enhance the space of microcement staircases

Luminosity 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 centre 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 you want to achieve or how close you are to a natural light point.

3-Mirrors to enhance the finishes of microcement staircases

Mirrors are a beautiful and ideal decorative element to decorate microcement stairs. They are a perfect ally as staircases are often located in the darkest areas of the house. It is a good way to enhance luminosity in any decorative style.

Mirrors also allow us to play with our imagination. We can opt for several mirrors of different colours, sizes and shapes. If this choice does not convince us, we can always resort to a large mirror to place it in the centre of the wall of the microcement staircase.

4-Bet for railings

Handrails completely transform the appearance of microcement staircases. They are available for all styles and decorative tastes. And they have a similarity with microcement: they do not require a great deal of work to install. Glass balustrades add elegance and light.

It should be taken into account that we can find 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, join the banister and the steps in a continuous whole with microcement.

5-Wall cladding

But the decorative option that immerses the home in an atmosphere of maximum elegance has a name and a surname: wall cladding. Microcement on the staircase and on the wall creates an atmosphere where the aesthetics of the finishes reach their maximum expression. Wall cladding is ideal for achieving a minimalist style that provides depth, luxury and clean 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 is an excellent idea to create contrast. There is a wide variety of options for covering the staircase walls.
