5 years ago

just wondering as anyone any ideas as what to do with limited space under the stairs dont want to use it for storage space (as it is now) or close it with selves or doors off as i think it would make the hallway very small and closed in???

I am a fan of black as a disappearing colour! If the tha bannisters were painted black the Victorian look of cast iron would fit. The walls are too pale , would you consider a dark green( FB Green Smoke) under the rail, next to the carpet, and a much lighter version above( FB Light Blue or Pale Powder). Not really sure of the shade of green in the carpet, it might be more FB Oval Room. I am fond of the Pugin look but realise it is powerful and invariably used with very dark paints. We changed our ginger brown stairs, over 3 storeys to white. 13 years later the effort was not only worth it but the pain has subsided too!

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.

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? :))
