Hallway is the stair a problem?
9 years ago
Hi All seeking help,
We are building to sell.
Just wondering if the stair protruding out from the wall and interrupting the line of the entrance hall is a problem. Would it affect your decision to buy the place ?
Hall is approx 1m wide, and at the step point narrows to 850. Step height depth and etc is aus standards.
This was a design flaw in the staircase originally took all of the walkin pantry headspace and couldn't open a door into the room. This was the compromise.
Is it a deal breaker?
The photos are the perspective from front door as if you are about to walk down the entrance hall.
From the other side it's not a problem as the wall drops back for the kitchen.
Appreciate feedback thanks in advance.

9 years agoWhat about a piece of slim furniture in the hallway that runs up against it? It is a shame and I think i would notice it if i was looking through it with a veiw to buy.

Comments (14)I would paint the brick the same colour as your walls then follow the trim work you already have, I then place a sprint on the wall and place your wedding photo else where, I would also paint our door and window trim the same colour as the white trim to brighten the whole area. Also a nice plant but not a high one I think would also look nice,if your not into plants a then a empty bowl,...See MoreStyling my sister's hallway!
Comments (32)It is a location for a statue, a sculpture (example in HOUZZ on tall sculpture). Something inviting, something that does not arrest/block your step and movement but moves you on to the lounge room, however, it should arrest your eyes, give you a quick message, a note, while you are moving forward. (I am personally also inclined to place a tall mirror there to keep tabs on my walk and figure and shape while moving through life. Then you would come to this corner and look -at yourself!) That would require the bricks to go or leave them till you have the time and guts to get them removed. Until then they can act as a plinth, a platform for the artwork. (I would personally never sit in this corner. Indoor plants may attract and be home to all kinds of critters.) spmm says further up: "it would be good to have something that LIFTS the eye". That is a great point! (Houzz) image from the link above....See MoreHelp please! Parquetry in my hallway OR solid timber planks??
Comments (29)Thanks Siriuskey for your fotos.... beautiful Parquetry floors, beautiful home and stunning water views! I notice your parquetry floor transitions to grey tiles as well.... which is also very similar to what i will have happening. Im now very much leaning towards parquetry you'll be pleased to know. I collected some samples today, and noticed the store had them in a double formation which i'd never seen layed like that before. Its just 1 block of parquetry layed right next to another to make it seem thicker. I think it looks quite contemporary....check out the pic below from the timber showroom:(top half shows 2 blocks layed together in herringbone pattern) I placed a few of these on my floor as example No1, then i placed some in single herringbone as example No2 below. Which do you think looks better? - examples No1 double block herringbone - example No2 single block herringbone Thanks in advance for everyones input and feedback :-)...See MoreCould anyone help me enliven my hallway/ stairs.
Comments (16)Thanks everyone for some terrific ideas. Could I ask annb1997 if you meant painting the stairs a dark colour or the walls? The stairs are timber but they are not a particularly nice colour, that is why I thought Jap blacking them would look dramatic and contrast with the main white wall. I agree that the other walls need repainting or perhaps a dramatic wall paper but with so much to choose from its all overwhelming....See More- 9 years agoThis is the view from the other side...does it make any difference?
Also would a high end finish make up for it - would anything make up for it?
