Staircase ideas
We are renovating our new home completely but I am stuck on what to do with the staircase, I was thinking of changing the spindles to glass and carpeting it but then I think that's what everyone is doing, although I do like glass, then I thought could I paint the stairs, any ideas would be greatly appreciated, the floors and doors will be oak and skirting and architrave will be white
Thanks

Spiral Concrete Staircase Advice/Ideas
Comments (11)String vertical tension cables down from white circle above onto the side of each step (drilled through and secured with bolts) and have one that spirals up those vertical cables (linking each). Although not a fan of spiral staircases, this one is a great centrepiece. To emphasise on this great feature, I would put 3 or 5 LED spotlights/downlights within the white circle above that point towards the steps. I think that will look good. If you are more adventurous paint each steps in tones (i.e red, orange, yellow, white or in green or blue hues - depending on your taste of colour of course) or random multi-colour (green, red, orange, blue, yellow and white)....See MoreUnder stairs storage ideas
Comments (3)Hello, It depends what is your budget! Do you need DIY ideas in how to store your stuff? The one I have in my house (will be the first image) it can be a bit inefficient but I try to store everything in a box so it won't get messy. Alternatively you can think of built in shelving system. We also carry out similar projects to our clients time to time, you can see in our Portfolio. http://www.houzz.co.uk/projects/614974/under-stairs-storage-solution There are a lot of way in designing the right storage but have a thought firs, which idea is the most convenient for you.

Comments (4)Hi Natasha Depends how modern or traditional you want the room to be and in keeping with the rest of the house I would recommend stand off fixings personally as there very minimalistic and if your keeping the staircase open as it is now this would be the best option, you can also fit a fletch plate and clad over it which would hide the fixings under the cladding. See below examples of stand off fixed stair balustrades and fletch plate style. Hope this helps! Thanks BFG...See MoreStair flooring ideas

9 months agoYou can create a bit of drama simply by painting the rail and spindles in a dark shade as in E Ds examples and a trendy stair carpet. My friend changed her stair rails to glass and it looks good but she said it cost a fortune. I daren't ask her how much........ but of course if the budget allows then by all means have glass. Here’s a few pics to inspire you on what can be achieved pretty reasonably.

8 months agoHi Sarah, I just bought a bungalow with loft conversion but only have dormer in upstairs shower, can I hijack and ask what your configuration is upstairs? I am really struggling with ideas. We will also be doing our stairs, we have the 60/70’s style open stairs so yours already looks amazing to me 😂. I like the painted ideas above but with carpet, cosy and quiet! I have two kids so the noise of the hurtling up and down wood is not a nice thought. Here is our current layout, hope you can help.

7 months agoHave decided to paint my staircase after all but now I'm wondering if I paint it in a dark colour will it look OK with oak doors, my skirting and architrave will be white, it's just that the ones I have looked at all have white doors?
