I love the reading nook, too. We had one in our old house, we called it our "Harry Potter cupboard" and the kids' toys had a home there. Love the open shelf idea, could also do floating shelves, drawer seating with a cushion (drawers giving storage) for the reading nook...oh the possibilities are such fun!

You could do a built in shelf under the stairs on the wall and put kids books and small toys on it. I would add a small wooden rocking chair so your little one can sit under there and read and play. A tiny area rug would work too.

Hi, we have wooden stairs and under the layers of paint the wood is covered in a black layer of something. I’ve used some paint stripper on it so far and it starts to remove it but I’m just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and know what it is and best way of removing it?

If it's done smartly, shelves and doors won't necessarily make the space feel closed in.

You could have a built-in seating/platform with a couple of shelves above, or all shelves for different functions, maybe a small home office...?

Or you could have a slim mirror (in the space between the door and top of stairs, and then just hooks for the little one(s) coats, rucksacks, etc. Or if you want storage, you could have cupboards recessed so they don't close off the front.
Or, why not a small fancy bar? :))
