Hello,
I'm working on decorating the garage and will open up a passage from the living room to the garage.
There is a level difference, so I will need to build stairs down right next to the basement stairs (see image).

Now I wonder if you have any tips on what to do with the wall/stair railing between the two staircases.
Feel free to provide tips or pictures of how I can make it look the nicest.

What is the height difference between the floor in the garage and the living room?

I think it was 80cm, not home now.

By then, I had in any case done 4 steps, which gives a staircase of about 120. That is enough for it to feel relevant to have a handrail on the way down.
So I had made a half-wall with a top edge as a handrail. So the part of the wall that runs along the staircase slopes, the remaining part stays at the same height up to the stairwell.

Very much a matter of taste.
Do you want the basement staircase completely open/visible or to conceal it.

One suggestion is to build a full wall from floor to ceiling between the two staircases and just put a handrail on that wall. The descent to the basement can then either be open or fitted with a door.
 
Where are you going to place the doors?
There should be an airlock with two doors between the garage and the residence.

We are converting the garage into living space and planning to have an open connection to the living room and also open access to the basement.

Yes, then it's no problem :-)
