Comments (20)Please, please, please, don't paint any of the wood. You have a beautiful setting for mid century modern décor. I can agree with removing the carpet from the stairs, however I would just want to add a jute floor covering for the stairs after. The light fixtures should probably both be changed. You even have a lovely roomy space in your foyer. I always recommend starting with the foundation of the room, which is the floor covering. Kilim, ikat, Persian or Oriental would be my choice. I would think minimalist would be very fitting in this space....See MoreOur new hallway
Comments (22)What a wonderful hall looks fantastic. For the carpet I would (budget allowing) use chrome or brass stair rods on each stair would look brilliant in there. You could always get an old or cheap console table & paint it yourself in silver or bronze etc....See MoreHouzz Live Chat - Designing a Dream Kitchen, 1 pm, 15 July 2016
Comments (80)A15) @Dara Cooke: If you can't afford a quartz or granite worktop from day one then I would recommend using a laminate worktop as a temporary solution. If you don't put tiles up as a backsplash then replacing the worktops can be relatively easy in a couple of years....See MoreAwkward Shape Living Area
Comments (7)Hi Pam, didn’t notice you’re dilemma before, just had a look at it. Milky Way mural sounds interesting. Although I’m a bit confused as to which wall you were thinking of putting it on. Is it the long wall where the fireplace is? The mural itself is most likely to be very dark in colour and like you say quite difficult to tie in with traditional furniture. But it could work with with jewel tone soft furnishings (emerald green, teal, wine red etc. in sumptuous fabrics like velvet and silk). You also say you have a conservatory garden wall mural upstairs on the landing, I imagine this to have a lot of green colours so I think anything downstairs should also have an element of green to link the colours through the house and create a better flow. Personally I wouldn’t put it on the fireplace wall as I think it would be too overbearing but the area where the dining table is would be nice and you could link it on the other side of the partition with paint colour and art. Was definitely thinking you need a rug in front of the sideboard as you come in from the hall. Maybe you could have a space themed rug:) here are some nice ones: https://jan-kath.de/collection/spacecrafted/overview/ https://www.kibek.de/teppiche/moderne-teppiche/81336/sky-and-sea Also here’s a link to some wall murals, I think the nebula ones with a greenish tinge would look superb. https://www.muralswallpaper.co.uk/wall-murals/space-mural-wallpaper/galaxy-and-nebula-wallpaper-wall-murals/ I’ll see if I can do some mock ups in photoshop, in the mean time here’s some inspo:...See Morezagorska55

Hi there,
A Staircase Refurb can make the world of difference, especially with Glass Balustrade, as you can see in the photos above.
zagorska55 - To answer your question, the handrail and baserail both have a 'groove' machined into them which the glass slots into. A little infill is then used in the groove to ensure that the glass is completely stable.
Also check out our blog post on Staircase Renovation or New Stairs?
If you'd like a little more information as to the cost of Glass etc, check out our Online Glass Balustrade Designer - Here you will get an instant quote and the ability to purchase online.
