Dreaming of a Staircase

I am having a staircase in my dream house & I am a little unsure at this point how it will look.

I originally had it all planned but it would appear with the design challenges of a sloping block & the fact we have a budget the stairs have had to change. At this point in time I have no idea how my staircase will look or even if we enter from the family room or the entry.

So I have been stalking staircases online so I have plenty of ideas when I have some insight into that part of the project.

I love white painted stairs & the extra storage is a fantastic idea

I'm thinking of a white painted staircase & a carpet, perhaps sisal, stair runner...

I just love dark timber floors with a traditional white painted stair rail

This staircase is definitely the WOW factor of this home...

A very creative & unique touch, a hand rail fashioned to look like a tree branch

This is a fabulous design for the family home, not to mention the striped stair runner.

I love the storage & mirrors, they bring a little extra glamour to an already beautiful space. I look at an image like this & dream of painted white floors

I have to admit Sarah Richardson is definitely one of my favourite designers, everything she presents oozes class. She mixes pattern & texture & colour with such ease, I wish she was an Aussie. I would invite her round for coffee, for sure!!!

Don't you just love a beautiful stair case, do you have stairs at your house!

A fabulous first impression speaks volumes, we all go to a little extra effort with our personal appearance when meeting someone for the first time, so it only makes sense that we would do the same for our homes. A fabulous entrance is the director of first impressions!!!

I love the combination of dark timber floors & white walls, this giant mirror bounces the light around the room & then to dress things up they have added some bling with a glittering chandelier, I'm wanting to see so much more here....

The textured stair runner & branches in the vase give this entrance a more relaxed, casual feel....

This is so light,airy & fresh, creates an image of cleanliness, I am a huge fan of monochromatic colour schemes with just a few small pops of colour to create a WOW factor....

How fabulous & classy do these ginger jars look, creating a point of interest....

I love this front door with sidelights....

What can I say, everything is gorgeous, the console table, lamps, staircase & floor tiles...

Perfect!!!

This foyer is so inviting, what beautiful doors....

I'm loving the colour scheme once again, not to mention that floral arrangement....

Wouldn't it be fabulous to have an entry large enough to pop a table in the centre. This place has got me swooning, dark timber, white walls, spectacular stair case, the art work fits like a glove & once again those fabulous branches for a floral arrangement...OOH LA LA !!!!
