We opened up our stairwell (which leads to the second floor family room) and put in a fabulous skylight. But now we are at a loss as to what to put on the "top" of the large niche. We might fill the area with plants but dry wall would not stand the test of time. Not sure if we should use our hickory flooring or dry wall the area and put laminate over that or tile with a quartz or....????? I want to keep it simple and clean.
