FINE-TUNING THE DESIGN With each staircase layout, there is significant scope to tailor the design to ensure it works well within your home and meets your practical requirements. These include adusting the width of the treads to proide more space for occupants to pass one another if needed. n most cases you should plan


for a clear tread width of around  mm as a minimum in line with building regulations. or staircases sering a single habitable room such as a loft conersion it may be possible to reduce this to  mm. To ensure the staircase is safe and easy to walk up it is recommended that the maimum pitch for straight stairs is  degrees. or spiral and helical staircases the total measurement of two rises step- up between treads plus  going tread depth should generally be between  and  mm and should be identical all the way up. Spindles, treads, and handrails can all be selected in a range of profiles and designs proiding the balustrade height is at least  mm and no gaps are large enough to allow a  mm sphere to pass through. With a bespoke staircase, there is also a huge range of design options to add a personal touch to your chosen style. or materials you can choose conentional timbers, a combination of timber and metalwork with integrated metal supports and balustrades or go for a full metalwork staircase manufactured from a material like cast aluminium. This can add a more traditional or contemporary feel depending on the design you choose.


Colour psychology in the kitchen


In the kitchen and wider interiors industry, we both live for and through trends. We follow them, create them and/or ignore them. For example, the one we all hear of now is the cost-of-living crisis; and so we are turning to brighter colours to make us happier. The kitchen can be the ultimate portal for an expression of how we feel or want to be seen. Keller is well known for offering the widest range of colours and fi nishes in the kitchen furniture market – along with a vast range of cabinet options,


all produced by the most sustainable means possible. In addition, the company is proud to be a Carbon Neutral kitchen manufacturer since 2017 and is now on the way to becoming Carbon Negative.
