My stairs are exactly the same structure and the end (approx 6") extends into the doorway which opens into the kitchen. So anybody coming out of the kitchen would bump into this corner. The doorway is 3' wide and one way is to extend the wall on the step side as suggested by arlendau....but the opening on the other side can't be extended further! So, then the entrance to kitchen would be 2'6"....which is quite small. Other way is to round off the extended corner- which I don't want to do. The house is under construction(nearing completion) and I don't live in it presently...can get and upload the actual pics on weekend only. Attaching the floorplan snapshot of the problem area. Any other way out?

sararahim123 What constitutes an adequate illumination level varies from person to person. What exactly do you require illuminated? If its simply ambient light you would have tiny lights as shown that throw light on the stairs itself. If a bit more is required you could consider adding a railing with a light under. If general illumination is what you are going after, but in a muted way, would suggest wall scones that throw light upwards onto the ceiling, diffusing the light.

Dream home, in my opinion you should go for option 02 for following reasons : You'll get lil open space on entering Larger wardrobe space Direction of study is also correct according to vastu 4.My recommendation on changing a few things.. Move the bed and study minimum 4" away from window for your curtain /roller pelmet Flip the bathroom so that on entering fist thing you see is not the wc and it's the vanity You can make a drawer /ledge (half the depth of wardrobe) next to wardrobe for dresser if need be

Hey Vikram, Either choose Rajasthan black or Tan brown Granite for your staircase. Best combination with beige tiles
