Hello Tani, Ah I thought it was for you.. You're moving aren't you? Anyway, sorry I added them right after I posted so you could see exactly what I mean.. Perhaps you can paint and paint the rail but leave the treads... That way the rails in place but you don't see it! It would though have to be in the colour of the walls to work... You could even paint the treads a completely different colour if you wanted to say blend with the floor? There are countless ways to deal with these stairs... So many options... So perhaps nothing really needed than a lick of paint (or not as you may prefer) and perhaps new treads.. Maybe though discuss with the eventual occupants as they may not like my ideas at all! : ))

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.

Nicely drawn bookworm and Jonathan, very nice! I like the idea of less rooms and division. If there is room spatially your plan could be nice, as a consideration re the ratio of beds to loo/bath/shower rooms could indeed increase. With the idea of two more rooms upstairs and another bathroom. Possibly keeping the downstairs as a closet/shower/loo. I also like your walk in utility which would be gr8 as a larder with ff next to it at the start of the galley run.. Gr8 ideas Jonathan and Bookworm which of course takes in to account what I said about planning the whole project so it's done once, even phased works are planned as a complete job. Given the awkward proximity of current bathroom, it's probably inevitable that it would have to move. It's not impossible but if it allows for optimum design spatially then it's worth doing and relocation can be duplicated on the floor above to benefit. :))

Storage and meter units under the old staircase was moved to separate utility room giving a focal point to the new floating staircase in the hallway, bringing in lots of light and space via design, wall / floor finishes and lighting.
