ᐅ Staircase – Are stair dimensions of 2.00 x 2.00 meters acceptable?

Rooms "Child 2" and "Office" will be the actual children's bedrooms, as there are two children.

Room "Child 1" is the emergency children's bedroom, so to speak, since my wife is not entirely finished with family planning. Two rooms are sufficient for me.

...otherwise, I would have only planned 2 children's bedrooms upstairs, as I do not need a home office.

I couldn't convince my wife of the idea to plan 2 children's bedrooms upstairs and to keep an emergency children's bedroom in the basement.

Thanks again for the feedback. We are still happy with the floor plan. The staircase is a bit of an issue—I’m just a bit uneasy about it (see attachment—it even looks wider than 2 meters (6.5 feet)). But the floor plan takes priority.

The building authority said we could start around mid to late March. The architect says it will be June or July instead. So there is a construction delay due to slow site development :-(.

Do you have any ideas or pictures of how to fit a nicer staircase in there?

What exactly makes you uneasy? That’s a nice steel stringer staircase.
Of course, it does look somewhat cluttered on such a tight 2 x 2 meter (6.5 x 6.5 feet) area.
Joking aside, though there’s some truth in it: open risers, metal railing... then those stair carpets, random pictures, disorder... the color scheme—all that doesn’t really make the stairwell look elegant.

You could consider closed risers, but with such limited depth, those would be even harder to walk on. With open risers, you can position your foot further forward.
I would go for more harmonious colors on the walls, wood, and railing, and definitely avoid eye-catching carpets and distracting decorations.

So you don’t need an office... so why exactly do the office and the children’s room have to be swapped? And is it really impossible to adjust a few centimeters (inches)?

I assume the close proximity to the bedroom is not desired.

If the study is also intended to be a children’s room (no one could have guessed), changing the staircase would be a bottomless pit. All the rooms would be called into question again. Since you are already quite far along with the planning, the question is more about whether to accept the situation and see what can be done with it.

However, if the thought of this unsettles you, that makes me skeptical. I can already picture the scene: the staircase is installed and then you stand in front of it thinking, “this is not how I imagined it.” For that reason, I would definitely recommend seeing it in advance or, even better, discussing it with the staircase builder.
In the end, you might not find it so bad, or maybe it isn’t — who knows. But regretting it afterwards would be unfortunate.

That’s exactly why I am... and looking for ideas
