Wall behind staircase
14 years ago
I have a similar stair arrangement with washer and dryer below staircase. It is hickory with clear finish for the inner kickboards and 14" wide diagonal side board that faces into the room. It will be carpeted down the middle.
Should the color above the stairs stay on the lighter side and only above the stairs, leaving the wall under the stairs the first floor color?
