We bought a house on February. There were a few things we did not like such as the colour of the timber floors and the carpets in the bedrooms. Anyway there is also an issue with the stairs going down to the open plan living and dining area. There is a big entrance to the house with void and limestone when you turn to your left and you have a timber landing with stairs going down to the open plan area( photo 1) as well as stairs going up to the children ‘s bedrooms.
The stairs going down look narrow, dark and the ceiling is low because there is another flight of stairs leading to the parents’ floor.
We do not want to remove the side wall on the right because it’s the wall of the living room and the left wall is the side wall of the storage ( you can see the door). I could remove the storage but It’ s a pity because I put the vacuum cleaner in there and other stuff. The stairs going up are exactly the same ( colour, size..) but they look great because the ceiling is high and there is a glass balustrade on one side (photo 2)
Any suggestions?
