Victorian Staircase & Custom Fireplace Makeover

This project showcases a complete transformation of a home’s main living area, focusing on a stunning Victorian-style staircase and a bespoke wooden fireplace mantle. Our client wanted an inviting, timeless focal point that would add both warmth and character to their space, so we delivered an integrated solution that blends quality materials, refined craftsmanship, and attention to historical detail.

We began by collaborating closely with the client to understand their aesthetic preferences and functional needs. The goal was to complement the existing brickwork while introducing rich, natural wood tones throughout the entry and living room.

Custom Staircase: The staircase railing, balusters, and risers were meticulously crafted from premium hardwood. We designed each detail, from the base steps to the handrail, to maximize both visual coherence and lasting strength. The warm finish highlights the wood’s natural grain, creating a grand yet welcoming entrance.

Fireplace Mantle & Surround: The original fireplace was stripped and reframed to support a custom mantlepiece. Using traditional joinery methods, we shaped an elegant surround that frames the hearth and ties together the room’s brick and wood elements. The new mantle not only elevates the space visually, but also offers practical shelf space for decor.

The completed project now features a harmonious blend of textures and tones—polished wood, heritage brick, and iron fixtures. The staircase draws the eye upward, while the fireplace invites gatherings and relaxation. Every element was custom-made to order, reflecting both the home’s history and the client’s vision.
