Creating a Seamless Basement Transition with Stair Skirting Installation

Client Goals & Challenges

After adding a second bathroom to their home, the homeowner wanted the basement transition to feel seamless. The goal was to ensure the flow of design elements from the bathroom, down the stairs, and into the landing area, where a barn door leads to the master bedroom. The key challenge was installing stair skirting to ensure trim continuity throughout the space

The Approach & Execution

• Planning & Design Considerations: Chose a trim style that matched the bathroom and basement landing for design consistency. Ensured the stair skirting would integrate smoothly with existing base trim.

• Stair Skirting Installation: Measured and cut skirting to fit the angled stair profile. Installed the skirting flush against the wall for a clean look. Secured and finished the trim to blend seamlessly with the existing design.

• Final Touches: Painted the skirting to match the baseboards for a cohesive look. Ensured that the transition from the bathroom, down the staircase, and into the landing with the barn door was visually smooth.

Results & Outcome

• The basement staircase now flows seamlessly from the newly added bathroom to the landing

• The trim is continuous throughout the space, creating a polished, unified aesthetic

• The stair skirting enhances durability and gives the staircase a clean, professional finish
