At the moment though the White is pristine it looks slightly too clinical. The focus in the room is the fireplace so I would actually see if I could get the house for the fireplace clad either in a marble or slate effect fitting with the neutral scheme. I would have some accent less either in the wall along the stairs or at the top of the riser for a more softer glow. I'd have grey or charcoal sofas again fitting with the natural palate. I can't tell properly but the are at the top of the stairs appears to be a nook or mezzanine - pending space I'd house some bookshelves and a relaxed seating maybe bean bag area for a reading book. If it was a family home you could have pictures of the children on the wall along the stairs. I'd keep the window area clear maybe just neutral blinds at a push because the natural lighting looks lovely. The wooden stair treads could be painted darker if going for slate cladding to match.

HI Angelina Some further context would be useful, for example, is this where you will live, or is it for rent? What does the exterior look like (ie, is it a period or new property). How is the rest of the house decorated etc. Please do get in touch if you need help as I'd be happy to work with you. Sarah

hi has anyone used http://www.zamma.com/cap-a-tread.html# to update their stairs ?

This is one idea I'm considering: https://www.jennaburger.com/2012/06/staircase-makeover-filling-holes-and-staining-treads/
