Many homes have a wall that follows the staircase to the bottom step, and then a small door lets you enter the next room. Imagine what it would look like if you removed that wall!
The best value for your money is said to be a middle range priced door for your front entrance. I believe the return is 125% according to the banks cost vs. value reports. Once you get inside the front door a strange feeling of being cramped starts to set in. A feeling of being closed in upon is happening. Imagine removing the wall so that the entire staircase is opened up so that your vision was free to wander in the surrounding room. Freedom at last. Staircases are a thing of beauty and really make a nice addition to any room. Once the staircase is opened up it allows you to become creative with lighting, new wall textures and paint. Opening up your staircase really modernizes a house. The picture I chose to accompany this article had new oak treads installed, metal balusters, new spindles and rails, faux walls and electrical sconces installed in Dining room, and a fabulous burgundy/crimson color as a background.
