Drapes to cover door windows. Hmm

Cute. Only see first run of stairs and lower ceilings (like us).

What about shelves under the stairs but with a hidden-door panel. Would be a great place for shoes, umbrellas, etc. STORAGE SPACE!

Not this style but curious about space for a seat. Just thinking...

Q

Not the whole thing--just wondering about the lower section for shoes (with or without dividers). Framed in.

Maybe something like this could even work between entry and family space if we can manage the way those walls don't line up. Make a wider trim?

Q

Product

Reclaimed Wood Wall Paneling, Brown and Gray, 20 sq. ft.

Q

Click link to find use of this in stairwell (landing wall where our window would be). Interesting idea. Could continue on island and above island or in a tray or other details like that. Doesn't need to be reclaimed wood. Could be other accent look (preferably with a certain degree of texture).Maybe something a bit more formal and a little less trendy.

Similar stairwell

Cute screen door. Can you make these removable for cold months so you don't have to deal with them. Maybe you just get used to them. (Brad has his year round.)

Q

Interesting way to do stair rails (see top flight).

Q

Photo

Not this style but love that door has transom windows (screened?) This could be a great alternative to the double door problem with screen doors. Screens and cross ventilation are a marriage saver.

Q

Photo

It would be nice to have windows on the double flex room door, but I'd like the solid to go higher so glass is only in upper. It will make the room more multiuser (cover w/shades if it becomes bedroom), but window will also allow more natural light in entry from flex room.

Q

Photo

Keep for ideas and envisioning. Is this finish work less expensive?

Q

Photo

Talk about lighting in stairway. Sconce? Floor? Dark-activated?

Q

Photo

Not this modern look, but... This would be an interesting way to open that first stairway + the landing and window while simplifying the higher stairway. I think these lines could be a great and sophisticated compromise. I even see artwork on that long interior wall. With the right piece of art, this design could look very intentional and classy.

Q

Photo

cont. KIND OF! (Depends on your angle. A lot of natural light in stair space.

Q

Photo

Only lower flight open

Q

Q

Stair is angled differently from the door, but here seems to be a more closed concept.

Q

Photo

Hmm. Not sure what I think about those windows in the wall behind the stairs, but it would help with natural light and might be interesting. Just tuck the idea away. Might be cheaper to simply finish both stair rails, though.

Q

Photo

cont. Another angle. Can't quite make out detailing on wall--perhaps open with railing. It might also simply be some decorative molding which could be a later upgrade. Looks nice.

Q

Photo

cont. I believe this is the same stairway--just showing a little stair detail they used.

Q

Photo

About half a flight visible. Made more visually appealing with tall pillar at base. A trick that might work--draw interest lower.

Q

Photo

Similar but more angled.

Q

Photo

This has the window on the same wall (is ours higher?) but without the stairwell divided by a wall. Again, what is the visual loss with that wall (in terms of lighting and design).

Q

Photo

This at least has the same effect as a stairway with only half with railing would bring. I like the cut-away above the stairs (opens for head clearance and especially that it gives a peak at art. What could we do to open our space in similar (or perhaps better) ways. The window is nice here but is on the adjacent wall for us. Natural lighting in that space is also a consideration in our decision.

Q

Photo

No significant mudspace in this Park City home. like the functionality of their entry. Classy bench and shoe drop. Closets might function for coats.
