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 design ideas please
Comments (9)I always think that a hall with a seating area is just bliss for sitting down while pulling on your boots or flicking through a magazine or two! I would shelve the entire area that is before the post and have a built in seat with more storage above and below it to make life even more clutter free. Good luck hope it works out for you....See MoreLooking for Staircase Ideas?
Comments (13)Indeed there are certainly many situations where the client is not right and one would refuse there requests, but in this situation not having a balustrade is almost no different than having one, the ceiling height is quite low, 2150mm and if you take an average height person, they will close to the bottom before their head is below the level of the first floor where they could fall sideways off the staircase and if you are going to fall head straight down from the top then with or with out a balustrade you will probably hurt yourself rather badly. When one browses through the interior property magazines of central London you will find many interiors that do not comply with building control...See MoreStair ideas and colour scheme
Comments (2)Hello Good Morning, My name is Sandra N, I would like to introduce an idea so that your stairs look totally modern with our trending product. Do you know what Microcement is? Well it is a material that allows infinite finishes, and the best thing about everything is that you can customize it as you want. You can choose a color, a Matte or Satin finish or even Gloss for the more daring. Choose the color that you like the most and taking into account that it is a product that is applied by hand and is an artte, you can even choose if you want wave effects, or dripping or aging ... I attached some photos for your inspiration and if you like the idea you can enter our website www.decoracement.com and ask for a free quotation without commitment by filling in the form with some necessary information. I hope I've helped !...See More

last yearYou 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.

last yearBlack spindles are all the rage for a bit of drama - leave the banister bare wood but stained a lovely oak. Black spindles and white skirts

12 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.

10 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?
