When a Nottingham homeowner wanted to create a stunning focal point in their property, they commissioned Boam Joinery to design, supply and fit a bespoke solid Ash staircase.

This premium installation combined exceptional craftsmanship with modern lighting technology, resulting in a truly remarkable feature that transformed the interior of their home.

The Vision: A Statement Staircase

The client sought a staircase that would serve as more than just a functional element. They wanted a piece that would catch the eye, add warmth to their home, and showcase quality materials and expert workmanship. Solid Ash was selected for its beautiful grain patterns, durability and timeless appeal.

The natural characteristics of Ash timber create visual interest whilst maintaining an elegant, refined appearance that complements both traditional and contemporary interiors.

Specification & Materials

At the heart of this project were the impressive 90mm thick solid Ash treads. This substantial thickness not only provides exceptional strength and longevity but also creates a luxurious, high-end aesthetic. The chunky proportions give the staircase a strong visual presence and a reassuring solidity underfoot.

Rather than opting for veneered or laminated alternatives, the use of solid Ash throughout means the staircase will age beautifully over time. Any minor marks or wear can be refinished without compromising the material, making this a genuine investment piece that will serve the property for generations.

Integrated LED Lighting

One of the most striking features of this installation is the integrated LED lighting system. Carefully positioned LED strips were incorporated into the design to create atmospheric lighting that serves both practical and aesthetic purposes.

The lighting gently highlights each tread, providing safe navigation during evening hours whilst adding a contemporary edge to the classic timber construction.

This thoughtful integration of modern technology with traditional joinery demonstrates how classic materials can be updated for modern living. The LED system is energy efficient and long lasting, providing the homeowners with a low-maintenance lighting solution that adds drama and sophistication to their interior.

Finishing Process: Staining & Spraying

Once the staircase was constructed and the LED lighting installed, the finishing process began. The Ash timber was carefully stained to achieve the desired tone, bringing out the natural grain patterns whilst giving the wood depth and richness. The staining process was carried out with precision to achieve an even, consistent colour across all components.

Following staining, the staircase received a professional spray application of Morrells wood finishes lacquer. Morrells is recognised throughout the joinery industry for producing premium quality wood finishes that offer exceptional durability and a flawless appearance. The sprayed lacquer provides a smooth, even coating that protects the timber from daily wear whilst maintaining its natural beauty.

The spray application method achieves a superior finish compared to brush application, with no visible brush marks or inconsistencies. The result is a silky, professional surface that feels as good as it looks.

Boam Joinery managed the entire project from initial design through to final installation. Our experienced joiners ensured the staircase was manufactured to precise measurements, accounting for the specific dimensions and requirements of the property.

The local service meant the homeowners benefited from a seamless process, with expert craftsmen handling every stage of the installation.

The solid Ash construction, combined with the integrated LED lighting and premium Morrells finish, creates a staircase that functions as a true centrepiece.

The warm tones of the stained Ash contrast beautifully with the contemporary LED illumination, striking a perfect balance between traditional materials and modern design elements.
