Entrance Hall

Example of design I don't like, where you see a closed door right beside the staircase.

Q

U shaped staircase showing entrance to a room under the stairs returning - shows how it really closes down the openness of the area and leaves only a small area for any furniture in the middle section.

Q

Closest to our original ideas for a U shaped staircase (though in reverse) and with a plastered underbelly of the return stairs (not a free floating Z shape staircase.

Q

Lights by stairs

Q

Bench, hooks and open shelf besides hall cupboard.

Q

Cupboards all painted to disappear against wood with recessed bench in contrasting wood, with wooden pegs above (not so bothered about wooden slats above bench).

Q

Like how the bench runs through the bottom of the hall cupboard. Also the hooks above the bench. Could we have a bench with hooks above with two-three recessed cupboards on the LHS of entrance hall as an alternative to four recessed cupboards?

Q

Overhang over wooden front door with lights?

Q

Contemporary Porch covering over front door??

Q

What material to place on south wall side under staircase? Wood? Plaster/paint?

Q

Desk area under 2nd run of stairs on south side of entrance hall? Probably insufficient space.
