Hi, I'm looking for advice as am just about to makeover this large space and find it difficult to picture if it will look ok. I dislike the orangey pine which clashes with the solid oak boards on ground floor. I'm painting the staircase, doors and trim white with a dark stain on the handrail and putting wall to wall carpet on stairs and landing with Brinton Abottsford ivory/kilgour (plaid). I'm planing to paint with a mauve/ grey on walls and a white for doors (5 single and a double closet door upstairs ). Any ideas???. I will post details on the carpet if I can. BTW am also changing lights, curtains, door handles to brushed chrome and putting a runner on ground floor so all suggestions welcome!

Comments (3)thanks both & sorry for not getting back sooner. Appreciate it! unfortunately, while lovely, glass panels are going to be too expensive as is upgrading the doors/walls upstairs (realistically we would have to take down all the upstairs walls and start again to make any difference). But thanks. Obviously if we do enclose it will use a glazed door at the base (the rules about the size of landing you need don't seem to be too strict here in Ireland - must have 40 cm from the base step completely free) so we are thinking door at the base of the stairs opening towards the front door. My sister in law however suggests using the entire width between the front door and the stairs as storage, fairly similar to now, but with a door opening out into the kitchen. still thinking. thanks again for your input anyway....See MoreWhat to put on hall landing? Carpet or laminate?
Comments (3)Sorry, I'm confused. You have a landing that is attached, some how, to laminate flooring somewhere. Stairs will be carpeted...but not sure how stairs tie in to the laminate. Totally lost. You have stairs that will have carpet. They are attached to the landing...that is some how attached to flooring with laminate. There might be stairs involved, there might not be. At this point, without photos or blue prints or a full, clear statement describing the whole thing, we won't be able to help. What is the flooring 'upstairs'? Putting carpet on stairs, willy-nilly, with NO connection to "other areas of carpet" is quite odd. Many people who use carpet will often "carpet the stairs" and then carpet all of the area "upstairs" to match the stairs. This is why they put carpet on the stairs in the first place...it matches the "upstairs". Using carpets on stairs, then on a landing use laminate, and then continue carpet on stairs once again is very, very odd. Ending the carpet without continuing with it (ie. upstairs is another flooring type entirely) is another "odd thing to do". In essence, we will need more precise description of what is going on here....See MoreUser
