Hi all, I am new to this forum. We haven't done major renovations before. I am looking for ideas for staircase renovations preferably that does not make this space look smaller and within reasonable price.
Thank you for your suggestions.

Renovation ideas needed!
Comments (14)The low ceilings are a limiting factor for choosing colour in this home as you don't want to lower them any further. If handy, raising (or light coffering) the ceiling or part of it doesn't have to be expensive and will add some height, spaciousness and interest plus broaden your colour options significantly. Houzz has some interesting pictures. The wallpaper may have been chosen with vertical patterns to give extra height to the rooms, so dark tones on the walls may have the effect of closing the room even more. Recessed lighting can also help. The carpet looks to be in reasonably good condition so having it re-stretched may eliminate the cost to replace it short-term plus keep the house warmer for winter. When you do, check the condition of the boards to see whether polished wooden floors could be an option. I always suggest living in a place for a year before making major alterations... you'll then have insight into how the house will work for you in terms of light, heat and cooling as well as preferred outlook and high traffic/wear areas. Good luck!...See MoreNeed great ideas for renovating double garage

Comments (10)first consider any good use of the space from inside the bathroom (you could then fill in the opening from this side for more walls space and/or shallow bookshelves etc and access storage from the bathroom otherwise add some adjustable shelves and a hinged door between the post and the wall and fill in the rest of the space and/or cut panels of painted craftwood that can be screwed over the opening and removed for access ... quicker and cheaper would be a curtain gathered top and bottom to conceal the opening and hide all your stuff...See MoreNeed help with ideas for renovating exterior of our house.
Comments (4)I would relocate the steps to the front. The landing could be the full width of the door/ window space. Possibly extend it right out past the brick columns and place tall pots either side. Stairs as wide as possible. Side gate as high as possible in matching timber? Simple structured landscaping....See More
