ᐅ Any ideas for redesigning a staircase?

In our new build, this staircase can only be done with a lighter wood finish, so personally, if I were buying a house, I would be very happy with your staircase because you would basically only need to add white risers and replace the balusters with wooden ones 🙂 But since you mentioned glass and Bauhaus style, I’m afraid you would either need to save for a longer time to tear out the whole thing and replace it with something that matches your taste, or you keep it as it is and invest the money in other rooms. Adding glass to this country-style staircase looks terrible and will get smudged very quickly, even without a toddler around, unless you enjoy cleaning it constantly 🙂

By the way, I really like your staircase. Better to have a fully country-style one than a half-and-half. Maybe it’s really an option for us.

Thank you 🙂 Yes, I agree, it’s better not to make compromises. For our staircase, we chose straighter balusters and a square newel post on the handrail instead of a round one. It still looks completely country style to us but isn’t too ornate, so it can be appreciated for longer (including by my husband 🙂 ).
