From start to finish APEX were a delight to deal with. Their knowledge and craftsmanship was impeccable.
They listened to everything we wanted and were able to create our dream and more. They were respectful to us and our home. I really can’t recommend this company enough. Thank you so much.

Why Walnut Staircases?
Why Choose a Walnut Staircase?
With the right finishing oils and protective treatments, a walnut staircase will age gracefully, developing even more character over time while maintaining its structural integrity.
Walnut is one of the most sought‑after hardwoods for luxury interiors thanks to its rich colour, distinctive grain and exceptional durability. Its deep chocolate and caramel tones pair beautifully with both light and dark palettes, making it ideal for contemporary minimal schemes as well as classic, traditional homes.

Styles and configurations we offer
Bespoke Walnut Staircase Designs
Apex Staircases produces a full range of walnut staircase designs, each engineered to suit your architecture, building regulations and aesthetic goals.
Curved and helical walnut staircases
Perfect for grand entrance halls and double‑height voids, our curved and helical staircases sweep elegantly between floors, often paired with continuous walnut handrails and curved glass or spindle balustrades
Floating and cantilevered walnut staircases
For modern interiors, cantilevered treads appear to “float” from the wall, often combined with minimal glass to maximise light and openness while still providing robust structural performance.
Each configuration can be combined with bespoke features such as integrated LED tread lighting, matching landings, custom newel posts, feature bottom steps and contrasting materials.
Zig‑zag and undercut string designs
Contemporary zig‑zag or undercut strings create a bold architectural line along the underside of the staircase, emphasising the geometry of each tread in beautiful walnut.
Classic straight and winder walnut staircases
Where space is at a premium, straight, L‑shape and U‑shape staircase layouts in walnut bring warmth and luxury to compact hallways and townhouses without compromising on comfort or code compliance.

Questions and Answers
Walnut Staircase FAQs
How much does a bespoke walnut staircase cost in the UK?
Costs vary depending on size, complexity, materials and site conditions, but walnut is a premium hardwood so budgets should reflect a high‑end, handcrafted product rather than a standard staircase. Apex provides tailored quotations once drawings and site details are reviewed.
Do you only work with walnut?
While this page focuses on walnut, Apex also designs and manufactures staircases in other hardwoods such as oak, as well as mixed‑material staircases incorporating glass, steel and specialist finishes
Can you replace my existing staircase with a walnut one?
In many refurbishments, an existing staircase can be removed and replaced with a new walnut design, subject to structural checks and compliance with Building Regulations. Apex can advise on feasibility once photographs, measurements and any available plans are supplied.
Do you offer design‑only services?
For some projects, Apex can assist with design and technical detailing, supplying drawings and specifications for your chosen contractor to install. However, the preferred route for the best quality control is a full design, manufacture and installation package.

Choosing the right staircase type is a pivotal decision for your luxury home renovation or new build, balancing aesthetics, space constraints and functionality.
