In the modern world of social media and the ease of airing one's opinions (wanted or not!) people often seek the guidance of the professionals rather than, in the not so distant past, take the opinion of "I know best, you don't know me or what I want". This being said I am often asked what my favorite style of staircase is. Obviously different styles suit different situations but come on everyone has a favorite right? I'd love to know what the voice of Houzz has to say! :)

What's your dream kitchen style?
Comments (59)I saw this kitchen in a magazine recently and finally found it here on Houzz. Love the bold colors and open airy feel to the whole house- this would be my dream kitchen (house) if I had the $$$ to redesign or build from scratch. There are more pictures of the actual the kitchen in the magazine...but not on here sadly....See MorePOLL: Pick your favourite staircase!
Comments (61)The floating staircases are called "cantilever" staircases, they generally require a structural wall because they are steel plates bolted to the wall and clad in whichever timber you like and most popular balustrade would be glass, so they will not suit all house types, the split level staircase, with the landings are easier to produce and can fit in most house types and are still very contemporary, I am also a fan or the curved staircases because I understand the work involved but i would suggest the curved staircase would be more suited to a traditional house type....See Morewhat you’re glad you have/wish you’d had in your family home?
Comments (10)Decent sized bedrooms are good at any age - as younger children size is useful to accommodate toys and as teenagers they’re more likely to spend more time in their rooms so perhaps making them large enough for a small seating area as well would be good. Similarly, a separate ‘living’ space downstairs is also useful as a play room when they’re younger & somewhere for relaxing / games room when they’re older. We’re not keen on our children having the x box in their rooms do having an extra space downstairs for that is useful. A laundry room or utility is useful for all the extra washing children create to avoid having it all around the house on wet days. Garden size possibly depends on amenities close to you (parks, etc) but personally feel that as large a garden as possible really helps with primary age children. We chose our current house partly because of the garden size & style - plenty of lawned area. Our last garden was tiered with decks & patios - great for adult socialising but nowhere big enough to kick a ball. Bathrooms - a bath in at least one with shower over (or shower attachment) for hosing children down if necessary!...See MoreDebate on the Staircase: DIY job or In style when house was built
Comments (12)The addition at the turn of the stairs could also have been added to allow a bookcase or similar item to be placed at the top of the stairs as it creates a flat area of flooring with the top step. Not very safe but you never know what previous occupiers thought looked good! Please can you take the carpet off and tell us all what you find - I am also intrigued! Is the meter cupboard accessible from the hall or is it inside the area under the stairs - I can’t see how it fits in with the items around it. Has a doorway in the lower hall been blocked off? It seems strange that there is a corridor parallel with the stairs in the lower hall that leads to no where. This makes this area ideal development - could you open up the area under the stairs to make this area larger?...See More
