Entrance hall + staircase -- study.
Vray + PS.

I would like to know which one you like the most and which one interior's style would you prefer in your home (if you have to chose) .
This is a study and I am trying different materials – I would like to know, how they match with the rest of room and how other people feel that .
Feel free to comment .

If you have another idea how to design this room feel free to render it . I would be pleased to see other ideas and invention .

Have a nice day Jarynzlesa .

I vote for picture number 4. Eye pleasing combination of materials.

jim smith · 9 Dec 2010, 17:04

4 and 5 look good to me. Balanced lighting and colors, convincing and not too wild textures (as in the first two wild views). Very nice stair shape.

I think 7 is my favorite. They are all beautiful renders though. Nice work.

Vicspa · 9 Dec 2010, 17:28

Really nice work, i go with 5, and thanks for the download.

Dn1 · 9 Dec 2010, 17:42

Beautiful renders . no 4 and 5 are my favorites. I really like the ground texture at no5.

boofredlay · 9 Dec 2010, 17:46

3 is my favorite.

solo · 9 Dec 2010, 17:47

5, for me, great stuff mate.

dale · 9 Dec 2010, 17:49

5 for me, although I may be being influenced by the warmth of the render. In 4,5,6 the simplicity of the wall colors and textures let the rest of the materials speak.
Nice work, by the way.

Gaieus · 9 Dec 2010, 18:01

4, 5 and maybe 6 for me, too.
All are nice renders though - I am just ageing for those too colourful things.

artysmedia · 9 Dec 2010, 18:21

Yeah, 4 and 5 are the more real world ideas!

I prefer dark wood my self it seems "richer". However a word of caution. There have been studies about how people's feet clear the tread risers as they walk up a stair and it is a small number and is the reason code specifies small numbers also. Could not tell from your pics what they are hope you consider that. If not you may have soom redesign to do

jarynzlesa · 9 Dec 2010, 20:32

Hi, thank you all for replies .

4 - european oak, edge glued boards
5 - european beech, edge glued boards
6 - european beech core, edge glued boards

My favourite is no. 8 .

I Scaled the treads and risers from the model , the risers are about 179 mm which is approximately 7" which is ok for commercial and residential stairs in the USA. the treads are winders but in the center are about 11 inches. Depending upon the codes you need to follow, it should be acceptable.

jarynzlesa · 9 Dec 2010, 23:05

Basic calculation: h = 180mm
b = 275mm
2h + b = 610-630 mm (human's step length)
2*180 + 275 = 635 mm

I think it is Ok .

Gaieus · 9 Dec 2010, 23:14

Are you saying that you wear that heavy duty boot on your right foot and that high heel sandal on the left when testing these stairs? If you drink two beers, no matter how they are built, you will have problems!

jarynzlesa · 10 Dec 2010, 00:40

Yes, you are right, because both are for a right foot .

5 for me, looks more contemporary. Would sell better because of neutrality. You may add some contemporary light color to it if color desired.

It's the riser variation from top to bottom I was discussing. I think some building codes only allow about 1/16" and the photo appears questionable .
BTW: Some old castles steps were made with variation purposely to help thwart soldiers
