Help with interior kitchen stairs

11 years ago

I am helping my daughter with her home remodeling and need some help on what to do with the kitchen stairs. As you can in see in the picture the transition from the living area to the kitchen are stairs that pose somewhat of a safety concern and quite honestly are not very appealing and uncomfortable.
My initial thoughts are to decrease the stair rise and increase the stair run for a smoother, safer transition and to also add a handrail. There would be more steps and the stairs would protrude further into the kitchen.
Can this solution work? Any other ides?

These stairs are too modern, but I didn't know how to describe what I wanted to say. If you took the little cabinet out to the right you could do a wider stair at the bottom and a little bit smaller stair above it.

Thinking along the same lines as cheryls67.

Personally speaking. I would move the fridge to where the microwave is, tear out the cabinets above it, move the small cabinet to under the window, tear out the wall to open the dining and kitchen area up. Then add steps the full length of the opening.

Thanks hippy and cheryis67. I love both your ideas. Opening the whole wall would be great and a perfect opportunity to re-do the kitchen. I'm gonna talk it over with the kids and get started.
