Hi all, I am new to this forum. We haven't done major renovations before. I am looking for ideas for staircase renovations preferably that does not make this space look smaller and within reasonable price.
Thank you for your suggestions.

Need help with the front door paint colour as well as the stairs,many
Comments (9)I like @kelly's idea of picking a lovely fresh color of paint for the door. You can then bring it down onto the stair risers. Either a solid color to match the front door, or go wild and add some decorative elements to the risers with stencils. Or think of staining the door a great color and coordinate the stair railings and risers. I have an idea book put together for just such project that might spark some ideas for you. http://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/16700983/thumbs/Kathryn-Delany-s-Decorative-Stair-Risers...See MoreNeed help with renovating my kitchen

Comments (4)Low ceilings = flush lights. Before you purchase carpet get 5 or 6 agents round to value. Ask each for their opinion on what they think will appeal best. Ask them if you could get away with just laying underlay. For the wow factor make sure your budget is spent on items that you can take with you - think a huge 6fx3ft mirror, a bright modern art print, a mirrored console table etc. No need to splash out much just one item in a room or two to indicate wow. A patio table and chairs in the garden are also needed for the selling photos as they will help the buyer to see scale and the garden will appear more homely. A bowl of fruit in a chrome wire bowl in the kitchen will also add wow - stage with green apples and yellow lemons for example. So, to sum up the spend on 'wow' should be limited and only to what you take with you. As for the estate agents some of them do try very hard to give good sales advice so when you book them to value explain that the property is being flipped and you would welcome any ideas on how to present it. You may be surprised at what they suggest....See MoreKitchen redesign ideas needed

If you start renovating and have to change stairs to current Australian standards, then something like this, for the balustrade/railing , would look good.

PRO2 years agoPainting everything except the treads and rises, and get the treads and risers sanded and coated in a natural lighter look finish this is very popular look now for old timber staircases.

No prob
This is the before pic
This natural look finish called Bona white significantly reduces the wood from yellowing over time and the lighter finished timber colour goes well with the white enamel stringers.
