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

Any ideas
Comments (1)Judging from where the sunlight hits and the boxes are, it looks as though you could fit another slim -- laptop depth -- work area into the alcove to the right of the existing desk, as you mention kids, plural. What a lovely view for them to gaze out at while they think!...See MoreEvery Nook and Cranny
Comments (9)Art gallery wall definitely - either one very large dramatic artwork or a selection of black and white prints - could be some of your own photos enlarged, printed in black and white and framed in black. But you also need something under the stairs on the floor. I liked the plant suggestion, or perhaps a large basket or some sort of natural material holdall. How about a stand/table for umbrellas, bags etc?...See MoreAny ideas as to what I can do with the space under spiral staircase.
Comments (0)We have a large area under the spiral staircase which is under utilised. I have solved one area with a floating shelf but the main area directly under the staircase could do with something quirky and modern to stop our atrium from looking overly large and sparse. Any ideas out there?...See Morefront door colour, deck and. wooden horizontal slats to cover bricks
Comments (4)It's not showing in the Ozzie forum. You need to change your country to oz, then start a new thread, with the photos and post it. If you go to the Ozzie forum, you won't be able to find it. So what I think you have done, is just change your setting...but you need to post fresh I am afraid! So you will have two posts, one in NZ forum and one in oz...but the Ozzie peeps will only see your oz one, so don't mention posting previously Keep that between us. :)...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?
