Stairway
Wood newel and bannister, with painted balustrades
A house that invites me to lie down everywhere
Drama
Turquoise hearth!
I wish!
Think about stairway lighting
Metalwork balustrades
Line details
Stair wall as art gallery
Lighting. A missed opportunity in basement

The idea of colour on the risers
Eye is drawn, even to a simple detail of a newel post.
Idea of picking up newel post on mantelpiece?
Think of TILE in entryway (what is currently worn oak) to kitchen. Better wearing for boots, shoes, dirt; no RUG. Then pick up with fir in kitchen, dining, living.
Newel post with wooden banister
Stairs, or just a series of boxes?
Simple. Calm. Banister matches tread matches floor.
Understair use, with rails on outside of stringer
Neat combo of styles and colour: light would, grey floor, dark brick walls. Eclectic? Love use on understair with lighting.
The visual trick on the eye
Understair storage is ideal for boots and shoes
Fantastic colour
Understair storage drawers
Under-stair storage
Cute wee door, under stair storage
A nice trick with paint
Under stair storage. Why am I wasting that space?
White on white, clean, simple, calm, elegant. Like metal stool in entry and contrast of dark wood fooor. Also dark door.
Tiled riser?
Use of top of staircase space as built in bookcase under roof. Colour of wood.
Upscale telephone room. One phone for the landline: make something of sitting and talking on the phone...?
