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.
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.
