hi struti I would say it's matter of choice. marble or even granite or rough stone will have its own charm and definitely long lasting but only when staircase passage is comfortable huge. if space is compact wooden stairs would be better as its could be playfull with spiral or even basics with moulds and finishes, giving staircase elevation a contemporary look thanks shradha shah beescheese design

Maximize the space under your staircase with smart storage solutions! Install shelves, cabinets, or drawers for an organized look. Create a cozy reading nook, a mini home office, or even a pet-friendly corner. With creativity, this often-overlooked area can become a stylish and functional part of your home!

Hi Puspa, Here are some ways in which you may convert an existing wall into a brick wall - 1] If you are alright with replacing the existing wall entirely, then terracotta bricks are your answer. A terracotta brick wall gives a rustic buy neat finish as compared to the conventional brick masonry. However, this would require major civil work. 2] Another way is to strip the existing wall of its plaster and expose the underlying masonry. You can protect this masonry with a lacquer coating (your painter will help you with that). However, this again required some amount of civil work. 3] If you want to work with the existing wall without breaking it, opt for cladding materials. You may go for brick like cladding materials like terracotta wall cladding. These come in a variety of colours and are easy to apply and maintain. They come for both interior and exterior applications. 4] Punning is another way of achieving the desired look on a wall. The painter or false ceiling guy can help you with this task. Basically he will pun the wall in pop and engrave grout lines so as to give it a brick wall look. 5] Lastly, you may go for brickwork looking wall paper or a 3d panel. While a wallpaper would look flat and unconvincing, a 3d panel would do the trick. You can either paint on the 3d panel or leave it as is. As far as procuring items locally is concerned, I am sure a local vendor or contractor will guide you through. Regards, RnD Atelier Nagpur

Hello there, You could use MS square sections to create an array of shutters which will conceal the entire area, look contemporary and would be helpful in ventilation too. You could continue the whole thing towards the end and carve a simple cut-out from the shutter using MS sections and only a pair of hinges attached to the wall where stairs begin. You could also achieve the same feat with CNC cut jaalis, expanded metal mesh, concrete louvers etc. There is a wide spectrum of options you could consider depending on your budget.
