Any ideas on how to decorate this wall between the stairs and the land
Comments (2)Hi Grace, wallpapers are a great way to add interest in a space, I'd suggest selecting a paper that doesn't have a vertical pattern as it will make the stairway feel taller and narrower. Ideally a paper with an overall pattern, or a horizontal pattern would work best. Here a few ideas: design option 1 & design option 2. I'd recommend adding a radiator cover; as well as hiding the radiator it will also provide a shelf to add photo frames &/or a flower arrangement, as long as you've got enough space on your landing! Hope that helps! PB...See MoreHow best to hide these electrics above our Victorian front door?
Comments (24)Hi - in response to Carol's comment, I attach a photo of what we've done so far. We had the power company come in and move the meter down slightly (that was the bit on the left in the original photo above) and put it onto a smaller backplate for us. Then we had our electrician in to put in a new fusebox. Then we had our carpenter in to make a small box picking up the moulding on the inside front door, which also matches the doors leading off the hallway. We had the plasterer in to make good the area. So far that's where we are as we don't want to paint until we do the whole hallway, and first we need to change the radiator from the old flat panel one to something more in keeping with the property. I particularly resonated with Jonathan's comment above, with the thought that the eye wants to 'read' the ceiling and floor details...we felt a big box going across the whole top of the front door would feel a little 'top heavy' - as we came down the stairs and as you entered the hallway from the kitchen. We are pleased that the footprint of the whole thing was massively reduced. It turns out to be a handy little place to stash a torch as well. Thanks for everyone's comments - it was very much appreciated. Maybe I can send a photo of the final final result once decorated!...See MoreStair Box/Bulkhead
Comments (6)Not sure how high it is but you could have a cot bed built now and remove the rails later. Other than that cupboard seems to be best option. You don't have to have a hanging rail right at the top. Could have one at the level you want and storage for less frequently used stuff above....See MoreTransition from landing to stairs
Comments (4)I have the same issue. The stair noses do not match the floor colour. Also, you have an overhang on each stair, not sure how these will fit. 48 is also quite expensive. What did you finally do?...See MoreLesley
