I hope there’s another entrance here. How did they get that futon frame around the corner at the bottom of the stairs?


My guess is up and over the railing. We have a half wall type setup similar to those pictured above and it's pretty easy to lower things over the side if you can't make the turn at the bottom.

That pic is from the house Chas posted in another thread. I think it's a walkout basement.

You are all missing what is needed. Why do I always have to give the best advice?
SK, this is what you need.

For more great ideas

While you are at it, why not add a Harry Potter room under the stairs?

Ours used to be open, 30 years ago. Our washer and dryer made the turn. Then we added a banister. I’m not sure they will be able to come out without taking the banister off!

Having to clean that glass would make it a no-go for me.

What's worse than a staircase without a railing? A staircase with a turn, and without a railing..



The view from the top of the stairs isn't much better even though there's a railing...
