Staircase ideas
We are renovating our new home completely but I am stuck on what to do with the staircase, I was thinking of changing the spindles to glass and carpeting it but then I think that's what everyone is doing, although I do like glass, then I thought could I paint the stairs, any ideas would be greatly appreciated, the floors and doors will be oak and skirting and architrave will be white
Thanks

What to do under the stairs?
Comments (6)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!...See MoreStairs and landing ideas??
Comments (0)So I've ripped up the carpets from the stairs, landing and upstairs rooms. We have dogs and cats and the place was covered in hairs!! So should I just paint all the floor boards or should I put some kind of flooring down???...See MorePaint inspo for blue/grey colour scheme in bright stair/landing

Comments (0)Hi all. Looking for advice on using this space under our stairs. Have seen many lovely reading nooks/ bench ideas but our problem is there is no ‘end wall’ to join a bench on to as there is a door into the kitchen area. Think it would look strange to come out of the kitchen and have a low bench area protruding out but maybe it wouldn’t 🤷🏻♀️ Have a console table on the other side of the hall so reluctant to put anything like that in the space. Any suggestions much appreciated!...See More

4 years agoYou can create a bit of drama simply by painting the rail and spindles in a dark shade as in E Ds examples and a trendy stair carpet. My friend changed her stair rails to glass and it looks good but she said it cost a fortune. I daren't ask her how much........ but of course if the budget allows then by all means have glass. Here’s a few pics to inspire you on what can be achieved pretty reasonably.

4 years agoHi Sarah, I just bought a bungalow with loft conversion but only have dormer in upstairs shower, can I hijack and ask what your configuration is upstairs? I am really struggling with ideas. We will also be doing our stairs, we have the 60/70’s style open stairs so yours already looks amazing to me 😂. I like the painted ideas above but with carpet, cosy and quiet! I have two kids so the noise of the hurtling up and down wood is not a nice thought. Here is our current layout, hope you can help.

3 years agoHave decided to paint my staircase after all but now I'm wondering if I paint it in a dark colour will it look OK with oak doors, my skirting and architrave will be white, it's just that the ones I have looked at all have white doors?
