Storage Smaller Homes Hallways

staircase and hall advice please

2 years ago

Live in a small home with this wasted area of space. Anything in it looks messy. We desperately need storage so I was thinking of making a large cupboard. Mean building a wall and loosing spindles. Would I need to have a wall on landing too? Any ideas would be great please

How about building some understairs drawers I had this done in my home and it keeps everything tidied away. Also you could put a small console table against the wall with baskets underneath for storeage and a mirror above the console to create th feeling of space.

You could leave the spindles where they are and just build from under the ceiling.

How about turning it into a downstairs loo?

A vertical column radiator would indeed be a good option, and I like the anthracite idea. Alternatively, if you could find a traditional tall victorian radiator (may not be easy to source) and finish it in a bronze/verdigris, it could work really well with your dark mint and would be a real statement! Your staircase is lovely, and I would go with a contemporary striped runner, white painted sides and a simple rod.

Thank you for your ideas, minnie - I wish we could keep the wallpaper, as it is (or was) nice. Unfortunately, it is very 'tired' and looks dirty. We are definitely getting a carpet for the stairs, and unfortunately, we can't afford to put new wallpaper up, at the moment - we have enough magnolia paint (donated to us) to do the whole area, but I wanted to add a touch of soft colour to it. The carpet we are getting is very similar to the photo I have attached. As you have suggested, I have also attached a couple of photos of the hallway without the paint. Thank you again :D

It looks like I may need to repaint my stairs, banisters and spindles etc as the knotting is starting to show through. Big job which I could do without but I was thinking of taking the opportunity to do something a little more contemporary. Does anyone have any tips? In the entryway/hallway/stairs wall I was thinking of painting the walls shaded white by farrow and ball. I wanted to use a feature colour or wallpaper on the landing upstairs. I plan on using Purbeck stone in the bedroom off the landing so something which compliments this would be good. so to sum up...1. Complimenting colours for my banisters to give a classic contemporary scheme to go with shaded white and Purbeck stone. 2. A feature colour for my landing... I can post a pic if anyone is interested.

Hi, You could alter the mid landing to have a kite in each corner and a step in the middle, \I/ something like that. Then you would loose three steps from the upper flight meaning you can move the door three steps further over. Its a lot of work though just to move a door and you would still have smells from the bathroom. Could the bathroom extract fan be upgraded to improve on the ventilation?

As you already know, storage is the answer. Being able to tuck everything away will create harmony. A nice big cupboard at the end would be great, although I love Patrina’s ideas. I wouldn’t take out any spindles personally.

Looks like you might have room to incoporate both ideas....
