Other than buying a bungalow what can we do with our staircase?
Comments (12)If you're committed to changing the staircase, I would definitely recommend putting in some decent practical storage. We have a fairly narrow hall and the old cupboard under the stairs was a nightmarish mess of shoes bags and other junk. As part of our house remodel / extension we had a loft conversion and therefore decided to change the whole staircase. There is a small cupboard on the left for shopping bags etc. But what has revolutionised the hall is the pull-out cupboards, one for shoes and one for coats. The bottom of the coat cupboard also has a well for hats and gloves etc. My boys just automatically put their shoes away now and I don't have coats hanging on the banister. The few long coats we have hang neatly on the coat hooks behind the front door, with room for guest coats. If you haven't committed yet to a new staircase, the final picture was just inspiration for a spruce up. Finally, the glass "banisters" are lovely, but all that goes through my head is "kids and fingerprints"!...See MoreAny ideas on what to do with a large stair box in living room...
Comments (13)If you've re-plastered and removed the shelf from above, etc., I'd just put a plant on it, like a Philodendron. Something that can live in a dark(ish) corner. If you put a table/floor uplighter behind it that will shine up the walls and light up that corner in the evenings, I think it could be a lovely effect (this one is from (loads available, for example on Amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/Astro-4532-Limina-Uplighter-Plaster/dp/B005LVJPH2 )...See MoreIdeas please for what to do above the stairs

Comments (4)If you don't want to build storage then how about a trompe l'oeil / mural on it? You could achieve a similar effect by finding a poster or wall art to make it a feature instead of something you want to hide....See Morekatty smith

My opinion is following: Make walls bright white or gray and get some sisal rug on stairs. This will give you comfort to your feet and more natural feeling to your eyes.Cheers
