thanks for your question - they are bespoke stairs designed by us for the project and fabricated locally.

How would you refurb this staircase?
Q
Comments (52)
Probably a bit late on updating this but I thought I'd lost some photos of the end results. I think pretty much everything has changed since those original photos. The staircase has been painted white. It took a few coats of Zinsser BIN and a few coats of acrylic primer undercoat, with sanding between coats. Gaps between the labelling were caulked and I fitted some trim over the rough sloping section before the top coats. The stringer was completely stripped and then filled as best we can - due to lead paint fears we couldn't just rub it all down. All woodwork was finished with Little Greene intelligent eggshell in Loft White. The walls are Little Greene Intellgent Emulsion in Slaked Lime. It's a very warm white/neutral. It looked plain white when it was first painted but the white skirting transformed it. It also wipes very nicely. We had the walls replastered before painting. The tiled floor in the hallway was ripped out. We now have decent quality laminate throughout the hall and living room. Quick Step Soft Oak Natural. Carpet was fitted and supplied by the same person who did the laminate flooring, a very good local fitter. We only recently got the stairs and landing carpeted as we were waiting for our other refurbishment projects to be finished. Before it was carpeted we also had a local carpenter repair the stairs which were very creaky and the wonder treads very loose. The underside was removed so it could be properly repaired underneath. I took the stupid box catch off the door which didn't work properly and fitted a nice handle and magnetic catches. We have new engineered oak internal doors downstairs which I bought online. All it really needs now is some finishing touches like some photos or pictures on the wall of the stairwell. I'm very happy with the end result.

Hi this is my stairs, been really happy with this, the colours are a mix of Browns, greys, blues and greens so could suit your colour scheme. It's not too 'in your face' as the stripes are very fine and I think would work with your flooring which I think is quite subtle anyway. It's by Manx Carpets, coastline in punch & judy colour way. I think it was £30 a sq metre, so less than half the price of crucial carpets (designer at Manx used to work for crucial apparently. http://www.manxcarpets.co.uk/product/coastline/

Hi again, I have tge decorator comings in october going strip my lounge and replaster then repainting my house fully. Treat to myself for my birthday. I have a small 3 bed semi and want to give it a more cohesive look I like Farrow and Ball Tunsgate green for main walls and Churlish green to pickout Feature walls. Want to create a calmer look with flow but not boring I love colour and not afraid to be bold but need a overal look rather than individual room themes. Only coloured carpet I have is rather lovely moss green stair runner that I have based my colour choice on other floors are lounge parquet gorgeous. Not so gorgeous terracotta tiled kitchen but had to stay for now and neutral oatmeal wool bedroom carpets. Love this black wallpaper with grey gold silver birch trees for behind my bed will it work???? New robes black gloss. Sons room red robes what do I do here without changing too much and little spare room no idea what to do. How do you use the two colours? Do you pick a feature wall in all of them don't want it look like a had a job lot of two paints but dont want it random. Open to other colour suggestions but grey lovers I find it a bit dull in my home south facing dark lounge and can live with greenish grey tones more just saying love greys on the pics of your homes but not here something wrong with my daylight lol mine looks drab and muddy in true grey. Looking forward to your ideas try a give a glimpse of my rooms very hard with phone pics here goes. Thanks in advance love this site great ideas and help from you guys.

To paint or not to paint this staircase?
Q
Comments (30)
I would go for half and half approach as per jmcdi, painting the panelling below in keeping with rest of hallway and keeping the large newel posts, balusters, handrails and diagonal bottom section (not sure of its proper name) as they are. The only other option might be to try and remove a bit of the dark varnish from the stairs and see what colour the wood comes up naturally, it could be oak underneath the stain? However if it turned out to be lovely and you went for stripping the whole thing this would be a messy, long and potentially costly process. Best of luck, keep us posted!

it was a local fabricator in Moreton called GT Intech. I'm not sure they would do one again as it was quite challenging.
